Priceless

(Multi) million dollar babies.

Yes, but aren't they all?

Some are more literally than others.  With all the news of the recent births of famous twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon and the the stupidity and absurdness double digit millions that entertainment mags are willing to pay for the right to publish their baby photos, it made me think about the $400-ish bucks we've shelled out in recent years for each of our professional photo sessions chronicling the growth and progression of our lovelies.

Here are a few of my favorites from the photo shoot we did with the kids when they were almost 3 years old.  The location of the photo session was right in our own backyard at the Ranch House in our neighborhood community...

And here are a few more going back in time when the kids were almost 2.  Location this time was at Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach.

Now, they may not have the famous parents to warrant a professional photo shoot for Us or People or OK! mag but they are our precious twinsies.  And they are priceless.

So, no additional photos of ridiculous Frette nursery bedding linens handmade in Italy or images of sterling silver rattles or shoots of Dave and I decked out in the latest couture caressing our swaddled infants here (save that for JLo)...just good old natural photography reflecting our kids just the way they are in real life.

And isn't that what good photography is about?
