::| Decker Party of Five |::

Families are unpredictable. Especially when it comes to kids in front of a camera.

Families of five? Five times the unpredictability.

Silly faces, mad faces, smiles, grimaces. All part of being a family.

Luckily with five people there is also five times the love.

Here's some sweet moments and sweet faces

of this new family of five:

::| Eleanor Marie |::

This girl is all about chilling, hanging out, and being cool.

She loves staring into your soul with those big baby blues.

She's six months of absolute sweetness.

She loves smiling...except when she's curious about cameras and the crazy things her mom, Oma, and godfather are doing to *try* to get her to smile.

I can't wait to watch her grow and help her to love smiling for the camera (or force her if needed, we'll see).

Tiara is the delightful friend I've made thanks to my extreme hair style and color.

She makes magic happen and never tires of the tweaks I make each month.

A few weeks ago we planned for a photography date, as so many clients, hair stylists, and their husbands do.

This was for a wonderful, photography milestone trifecta:

1. We met at the Mall of America - the location of the couple's first date

2. We met on the date of their one-year wedding anniversary

3. We met for the occasion of maternity photos for their soon-to-be daughter!

We had a great time taking over walkways, stealing chairs from restaurants, and finding great 

back-drops amidst the thousands of people shopping and hanging around MOA.
