This session was my last session and also possibly my very favorite session of the year.  I’m not going to write much as it’s nearing midnight and I’m drained in the final stretch of the holiday rush… I’ll let the images speak for themselves.

Kathi and Sean, you and your gorgeous family are simply beautiful and really reel me back in and remind me why I got into this business in the first place.  Thank you.

I know, I know, I’m so behind on sneak peeks.  So busy getting everyone’s holiday order’s out to them!  But I had to take a second to share this one.  This is from my last session of the season and I just love it.

Kids are silly.

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.

Well I don’t think I’ve evern taken this long to get a sneak peek up – but this week I was moving!  Not far, but moving with two kids (one of them teething) has been challenging to say the least.  So I’m here, finally, and SO happy to  get this sneak peek up for this awesome family.

Kristin came across my work because her sweet girl and my sweet girl used to go to the same school.  They weren’t in the same class, and it was over a year ago, but my goodness I recognized her sweet face the moment I saw her.  Both her and her brother have SUCH wonderful personalities and were really a pleasure to photograph.  I hope to see you guys again next year!  Enjoy your sneak peek. :)

Miss Alexis and her mama joined me for a Mini Session a few days ago.  The sky was gloomy, but Alexis was not!  What a perfect little model she was, inventing all of her own poses and just a darling girl smiling at the camera.  I could have taken her picture ALL. DAY.  We even managed to get a bit of sun… for about 30 seconds. :)

Thanks for hanging with me, Alexis!  You sure are a sweetheart.  Enjoy.

Here’s my Molly!  She’s a whopping 16lbs at 11 weeks old and she is just full of joy.  Her daddy, her big sis, and myself just can’t get enough of her sweet face.  Had a free morning today so I decided to snap a few photos of her modeling a few things her Grandma Rose made for her.

P.s. I’m thinking about selling Molly snuggles…  five bucks a squeeze! ;)

First, lets start with a comparison…  9lbs vs. 16lbs

She reminds me of little bo peep in this bonnet.  I love it.

Day dreamin’…

She’s such a ham, she was giggling at me saying “you love MAMA!”

Not a fan of this headband.  Not to worry, Grandma Rose, *I* like it!

Sweet love.

Baby Jeggings.  The only thing sweeter than this is kittens in a bucket of syrup.
