The Holaday Quads!

For those who don't know our dear friends, Danielle and Ryan,(see on the blog HERE) were expecting quadruplet boys last Fall.  The boys made their grand appearance early October and were delivered at 26 weeks.  They were released from the hospital around Christmas day and were featured in a wonderful article found in the Sac Bee (HERE) just days before Christmas.  These almost 8 month old HANDSOME miracle babies are growing strong and healthy, and truly an indescribable blessing to so many.  
I had the honor of spending time with our friends and their very precious boys.  I warned Danielle of the challenges that come with capturing one infant (let alone four) at this stage and told her to not expect it to go as planned, and if anything we'll celebrate capturing ONE of our many "planned shots".  Well let's say... these boys left me speechless.  They were possibly four of the happiest and most cooperative babies I've ever photographed!  Mama Danielle had everything perfect from their feeding, burping, playtime, sleeping schedule down to the very last second.  Each boy responded exactly the way she predicted and the morning could not have run smoother.  WOW!!! I have never witnessed anything like it!  Go Danielle!!!!!  God knew what He was doing when He blessed Danielle and Ryan with four boys at the same time!  Only they could pull it off as natural and graceful as they do.  I told Danielle, people would pay good money to take a class or read a book to know her amazing secrets on how to raise such happy babies.  

Without further adieu.... meet the beautiful Holaday Family of SIX!

I can only imagine the trouble these 5 little guys will be causing years from now.  
Girls watch out!!!  :)


Happy Tuesday!!!!!
