I don't think we'll be getting wallet-sized prints of this one for their Christmas cards.
Come on, boys. Look this way, let's try it again.
A little better, but how about a little smile.
Clive, your smile seems a little insincere. One more please.
Much better. Thank you, Loudermilks.
Now let's put on our coordinating holiday sweaters and try it again. Who wants to wear the elf hat? Ralphie?
OMG! I love Clive's "smile"! AHAHAHA!!
ReplyDeleteI got to the third one and laughed out loud! That would make a great vertical christmas card.
ReplyDeleteAh, Clive, so mature at such a young age. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI prefer these Christmas garnishs!
ReplyDeleteYou posted 4 pictures from the photo shoot. I am wondering how many shoots you took that were rejects!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, you are an amazing person! These pictures couldn't be cuter! I really would like to know your secrets for wrangling four little bundles of energy, and have them pose so sweetly. It is over the top! Merry Christmas to you, Craig, Charlene, the Loudermilk's, and your parents!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words. It really is all about timing. Winding down or waking up works best.
DeleteI love it. Okay, how did you do it?
ReplyDeleteOmg!! So cute! I just did the loudest Awwww!! at the desk and now people are like What? What? What's so cute! These lil guys are too adorable!!!!

These are great pictures. But I have to wonder, how Beany is getting along with the four boys. We haven't seen many pictures of them together.
ReplyDeleteI tried to get my cats to sit together next to the tree and they started fighting. Then Sebastian started chewing on the (plastic) tree. *sigh* Please share your secrets, Laurie!
ReplyDeletePoor little Graham - his brother is totally blocking half his face with his gi-normous ear!
ReplyDeleteWhat does Ralphie want from Santa? (Nothing that would shoot his eye out I hope.)
ReplyDeleteDem babies ain't looking like babies...they are looking like teenagers ready for new homes. :(
ReplyDeleteThose boys are little angels, at least in these photos. After the camera is put away, a different story, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteI suspect it's a timing issue. I'm guessing these monsters just got through playing and were winding down for a nap when she snagged them for a photo shoot.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine how they would look in holiday sweaters and an elf hat! I'd love to see Ralphie strutting his stuff with a tiny hat on...
ReplyDeleteAdorable photos! I too am not ready for the Loudermilks to leave, though I know it is for the best.
Graham's face in the 1st pic and Clive's smile just made me giggle. So expressive!! <3
ReplyDeleteTotally adorbs!!! Happy Holidays to you!!!
ReplyDeleteI bet there is a small strip of the grabby side of velcro on the table that keeps those itty bitty butts in place that extra fraction of a second to help get these sweet shots!
ReplyDeleteThe Loudermilks are extra handsome little guys. Clive's smile is a hoot!
The 'awwwww' factor is off the charts. They are an adorable family - and will charm the socks off their forever families!
ReplyDeleteCould they possibly be any cuter?
ReplyDeleteMelts my heart.
ReplyDeleteYour talent for telling a story with kitten pictures is truly unsurpassed, Laurie. And like so many others, when I saw Clive's smile, I laughed my you-know-what off! Silly kittens!
ReplyDeleteI like the first photo - it's indicative of how Christmas usually turns out :-)
ReplyDeleteWell my Christmases anyhoos.
Melissa
I don't know what's more fabulous -- the complete cuteness of the Loudermilks, or the absolute beautiful tree that Laurie's created. wait -- it's both. Laurie you are so artistically talented!!!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, seriously, stop with the kitten glue already!
ReplyDelete(my husband's response to these awesome picts: That is just not natural)
So much cute in such little packages!
ReplyDeleteCould you maybe, please, do a little Clive-centric post? I would like to know him a bit better.
The kittens are adorable, the setting lovely, but the commentary is what brings it over the top for me! So perfect! I wonder if you could do a kiddie book about a litter, with your wonderful photos and great interpretation of kitty speak. Lovely gift on a rainy day. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI expect you know more about photographing kittens than just about anyone. Coming to your blog, for me, is like Christmas every day of the year.
ReplyDeleteWill you come to my house and decorate my tree, Laurie? Oh, and bring the Loudermilk boys too :D
ReplyDeleteyour pictures and commentary are fantastic as usual. the loudermilks are precious. not sure how you do it but very glad you do. your site makes my day, every day!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! The tree, the kittens, the adorable picture . . I don't know how you do it ;) Adorable!!
ReplyDeleteHow on earth do you get kittens to sit still for you??! These photos are just purrfect :)
