The newest member of the Qualey family is on his way fast, and I am happy to report that we were able to capture an hour of family bliss before his arrival. It is my utmost pleasure to introduce you to…

Amy and I met when I started working at the San Luis Bay Inn in Avila Beach. I started in the middle of the summer of 2001 and I think she had only been there for a few months. We did a lot of evening shifts alone together at the front desk, in the quiet of the lobby. Well it was quiet aside from us of course.2013_06_08 Qualey 847 thl 2013_06_08 Qualey 850 thl

Oh, and her laugh. I can’t even tell you.  2013_06_08 Qualey 911 thl

2013_06_08 Qualey 910 thlJust around that time she met Kevin. After over a decade, that bond has never cooled off. Plus they absolutely crack each other up. Even when they are annoyed at each other they can’t seem to hold back a laugh when the other delivers a punch line. I’m telling you- that is a lasting kind of love.2013_06_08 Qualey 939 thl2013_06_08 Qualey 914 thl

Halfway through, a mouse tried to climb Amy’s skirt and it took us awhile to shake that one off.

Especially Amy.

I had a second alone with Baby Sis and decided to try to take some photos of her on our bed. I don’t do as many photoshoots with her as I did with Ben for obvious reasons, but they really only take me a few minutes, so I am trying to get better about taking the time.

And then Ben tracked us down, and decided to put up with me posing him for some photos.

The bed was a good location. Nice and soft, I could roll the kids around with one hand easily, and I loved the relaxed, personal backdrop. I tried to keep it fun and catch them from as many different angles as I could. Overall, it went really well, considering they hardly hold still for a whole second. The light could have been better but I am just happy we got some sibling photos of the two of them at this age. They are absolutely the cutest together.

I can’t believe Baby Sis is almost nine months. We really have a couple of awesome, fun, and beautiful kids.
