Blue-Eyed Babes

A few co-workers and I got together yesterday for a "baby picnic". A couple of the girls are new moms, so we all had a chance to meet their little ones. Of course, I had to bring my camera out for that. I used the same lens as I did for my self-portraits. The more I use that lens, the more I love it!
These first two little girls are twins. They aren't identical, but do they ever look alike! By the end of the day I could tell them apart, but only if they were side by side. Looking back at my photos, it's hard to tell who's who, but I'm pretty sure these are one shot of each girl. I'm guessing the first one is Lexi, and the second is Lynea. Am I right, Denille?

Here's Deirdre trying to get a smile out of Lynea:

And finally, little miss Victoria. If only we could all entertain ourselves as well as an eight month-old. She was having the time of her life, just picking at dirt, leaves, and grass... and of course talking to herself. So adorable!

And who doesn't like to hang upside down?

Thanks for the wonderful picnic, ladies! It was great meeting your little girls.

I love those pictures. It is really hard to tell them apart in those, the 1st is Lexi and the 2nd is Lynea. I want you and Deirdre to take some more, you guys are good. My sister wants some pictures of her family to, how much??? May be we could do some soon to get some cool fall ones. Call me to set something up.

Hey TJ!
Cute cute pictures! Don't you just love those wide-open primes?! And I LOVE the lighting (sun acting as a perfect rimlight) and the processing on the second last pic (the lil girl upside-down with her mom). Just had a shoot today myself that went sweet - we went to a random farmer's field, haha. We didn't encounter any angry farmers running after us with shotguns, so I'd call it a successful shoot ;-) I'll be posting about it, but after I cover my previous weekend's stuff. But ya, keep up the awesome work!

Love those baby pictures! I can't believe how twins can look so alike when not identical.

That's too punny.

No kidding, I don't really come off too well with that joke Tyrell...
