Brotherly Love
As a mom to two cute kiddos now, I so badly want to capture the interaction between Kennedy and Brayden. The problem is that the 3 1/2 year old doesn’t quite understand how fragile the 7 week old is. He loves to hold her, kiss her, and “pet” her. He’ll hold her for a few seconds then say how heavy she is and just drop her. Luckily, my hands are never far away, but if I’m taking pictures I have to decide which one I want to save – the camera or the baby? Tough choice, right? Needless to say, I don’t bring out the camera too much when big brother is around.
I very rarely get a decent shot of the two of them. I’m hoping when she’s a little older they will be able to interact better together.
I love this shot:
But, usually Kennedy looks scared to death when her brother gets too close to her

shane and kennedy can go to therapy and talk about how their older siblings mauled and dropped them constantly.

I TOTALLY understand!!! I too thought it would be easier when they got older, but right now at 15 months and 4 years old they don’t sit still. Ha! I just blogged about this last night on my personal blog….nicknews.sethnick.com
New reader here! I am just getting my feet wet with my new dslr. Love the pics!

just wanted to let you know that capturing pictures of two siblings as a mom gets so much easier as the little one gets older! i had the same challenge when my little one was a baby (and i wanted to capture them together soooo badly). with each month it’s gotten easier!
I have a 3 1/2 yr old (a Brayden as well) and a 4 month old and every time B tries to hold the baby he tells me how “heavy” he is. I had to laugh at your post!
lol, it’s o.k she’ll grow to be a tough girl thanks to him
the pics are beautiful

My daughter is 2 and the new baby is due to arrive in 11more weeks, I wish I could get a newborn shot of her holding him so bad!! I’m thinking can at least get a picture or her holding him on my husbands lap and just hope Amber’s right and it gets easier. As good as she is with her baby dolls I don’t think I can trust a toddler with a newborn, even if its only for a split second.
haha! I totally understand! Even now, my Kennedy is almost 3 and Bristol is one, it is still SO hard to get a shot of them together! These images are precious and your Kennedy looks just like her big brother to me!
