Absolutely Priceless!!!!!

Boy, this scene must of been WORK!!!

I love them all, but I always go for being different- like the little girl with her legs up in the air.. and oh, the boy, rubbing his eyes!

Wondering Susana, if they are all related???

A great photo op and M T!!!

SMILING BIG,

Thank you very much Christine! I also love the many different expressions... Yes, it was quite a session but each mom worked on her own baby so all I had to do was call the shots and TAKE the shots... hehehe. The moms all attend the same church and these are all the babies born in 2009. Actually one mom was late and didn't get her baby into this specific picture. Thirteen in total :o) Thanks again for the message!

Bob Cournoyer level-classic January 28, 2010

Yup, the little girl at 9 o'clock looks like the only one who is having any sort of fun... :-)

I'm with Les on this one.

Great shot!!! #8337694

Datha Y. Thompson January 28, 2010

LOL!!!!!!! I too will be with Les on this!!! It is Adorable and I love all their expressions, and yes the little girl with her legs up gets my attention first :) WONDERFUL!! and BRAVE WORK ;) #8337711

Kay E. Mahoney level-classic January 28, 2010

Fantastic capture, susana. They are all adorable. Love all the different expressions. Sure looks like they were done with their photo session. Would look great enlarged hanging on the wall. #8337824

Susie Peek-Swint January 28, 2010

Sooo cute Susana .. what a 'fun' photo shoot this must have been ~ and that's a lot of babies born in one year ~ is it a large church group??? #8337841

Susana Ms Heide January 28, 2010

LOL Les!! Maybe you should try it just for the kick!? Shelly, they seemed to set eachother off. First one would start crying and then it was like a domino effect from there. I was surprised that there were a few babies who kept their cool...LOL... Bob and Datha, next time when I do this I'll know who to call on for volunteer help :o) Kay, this wasn't the end of the photo session, it was merely the beginning. Needless to say we were there for a while...LOL... Susie, yes, it was fun even though they cried... definitely an experience to say the least. The church group is fairly large, maybe 300 (busy) members :o) #8337906

Donna La Mattino Pagakis January 28, 2010

Darling, what a lucky lady you are Susana! #8337958

Tammy M. Anderson level-deluxe January 28, 2010

This is just wonderful. Love everything about this. So cute and too funny. Have to email this to my daughter that is 31 and doesn't want kids. LOL. Great work and hope to see this again. #8338241

Nikki McDonald level-classic January 28, 2010

Great shot, Susana, and I'm so glad you didn't wait for smiles on all the faces to take the photo :) Bet their moms love it -- I sure do! #8338484

Susana Ms Heide January 28, 2010

Thank you Les, Shelly, Melinda, Bob, Datha, Kay, Susie, Donna, Tammy and Nikki!! :o) Tammy, this will only reinforce her point... Hehehe... Nikki, I don't think we got a single image of smiling babies, probably at the most about 5 or 6 content babies at any one time...LOL... A FUN session though! #8338544

Josie Detmers January 28, 2010

Very cute and original, Susana!! What a handful!! #8338687

Karen E. Baumann January 28, 2010

This is great, made me laugh and hold my breath at the same time! Glad you weren't in charge of the babies! A neat idea for a church cradle roll... a nice large canvas wrap on the nursery wall would be so fun! (especially when these wee ones are teenagers) Great presentation, Susana! #8338705

Katarina Mansson January 29, 2010

Wow - I can understand that was a quite challenging session!!! Fantastic entry Susana - a winner for sure! #8338875

Mitch Spence level-classic January 29, 2010

Whoa, what a session that must have been. I applaud your bravery, Susana. It's a great shot and wonderful for the theme. #8339366

Dr Silly level-classic January 29, 2010

Way better you then me Susana. I go nuts with one crying baby. LOL No way I would find it a fun shot. LOL But what a super capture. :O) #8339463

Susana Ms Heide January 29, 2010

Thanks Josie, Karen, Katarina, Mitch and Doc! You guys have all sent such wonderful messages! I appreciate it!! I'll try to include a photo of all the moms holding their babies. The lighting is pretty awful there but just to give you an idea. #8339599

Max Aureli January 29, 2010

LOL LOL This is just you!!! It can't be somebody else!!! LOL LOL... Great idea, composition and wonderful multi portrait babies!!! :-)))
... now... don't tell me that those cuties are all yours... ???? #8339888

Susana Ms Heide January 29, 2010

Why would it be "just me"!!?? Now I'm curious, Max :o) And no those babies aren't all mine but one of them is my sweet niece (the one at 2.5 O'clock that is looking away). Thanks Max for commenting! #8339953

Max Aureli January 29, 2010

Just you because because it's just you that can come out with this ideas... !! :-)) #8339965

Susana Ms Heide January 29, 2010

Well, thank you Max for the kind words!! With so many crying babies many of my ideas didn't materialize... hehehe... #8340593

Amalia Sylvia Arriaga Salinas level-classic January 29, 2010

Lee-Anne Shortridge January 30, 2010

Love, love, LOVE this Susana!! I, too, first noticed the little girl playing with her feet. What a great job you did with all these babies. Hope to see this again. :-) #8342902

Susana Ms Heide February 01, 2010

Thank you so much Amalia and Lee-Anne! That little girl has here feet up like that in every picture I took of this set up... hehehe :o) #8348749

Robert Jensen February 02, 2010

This is absolutely fanstastic. How long did it take to set this up? #8350679

Chris Budny level-deluxe February 03, 2010

I'm late to the party! ;) I love that you had them all in denim and t-shirts. Fantastic capture, Susana! #8353271

Susana Ms Heide February 05, 2010

Thanks guys!!! Robert we spent about 2 hours taking pics and that included 2 different backdrops and set-ups and individual pics of each baby. Normally I take about 2 to 3 hours for ONE newborn so this was reallly fast... LOL... #8359329

Brenda Sides level-classic February 10, 2010

Kate Jackson March 10, 2010

Great idea to have the colour co-ordination. Such a fun shot Susana. And I can well imagine how quick you must have had to be with this. Don't normally bother reading through all the comments but these were fun too! #8444407

Susana Ms Heide March 10, 2010
