I just loved this session!  Pretty red holiday dresses, pretty red hair, and just a bunch of sweet little girl smiles.  What a joy this family was to photograph.  I might have to ask their daughters to give my daughters some lessons. ;)

Enjoy your sneak peek!  I’m headed back to my cave like a busy little elf trying to get everyone’s holiday photos out on time!  Joy to the world!

A few weeks ago “Taylor’s Mom” contacted me about a Holiday Session for her family.  Taylor is my daughter’s BFF.  Sweetest thing ever = Taylor showed up wearing the “Best Friend” bracelet that Claire gave her earlier in the year.  When I showed Claire the photos and pointed out that Taylor was wearing the bracelet she tilted her head to the side and said “Awwwwwwww, I just *love* her.”  Haha!

Here you go, Talyor’s Mom and Dad.  Enjoy your sneak peek. :)

Last year I photographed the lovely Kate, her husband Damian, and their two gorgeous children.  Last year, Kate was a stranger who emailed me about booking a session.  She and her family had just moved here from Australia and she sent me a message explaining she was a photographer, and not “in business” since the move.  She felt my work was really her style and off we went to the hills!  You can see her 2010 session here.

Well, a lot sure happened in one year!  This year, Kate not only attended my wedding, but also photographed the Birth of my daughter, Molly.  Which you can see here.

I am SO happy to have become friends with Kate, and so thankful to have her in my life.  It was a pleasure photographing her family again this year.

Here’s to many many more…

Kate and Damian were celebrating their 10th Anniversary!  Congrats!

I the midst of a *crazy* holiday rush, sometimes I just need to take a deep breath, stop, and remember why I do this.

For her…

And her…

For us…

Jed is an old friend and I was so excited when he contacted me about booking a session for his wife’s birthday.  I had SUCH a blast.  They are hilarious, fun to be around and their love for one another is SO evident.  I hope this is the first time of many I get to see you two.  :)  Enjoy your photos.
