Gobble Gobble!

November 21, 2006 – 7:46 pm

I am a teeny bit behind in posting recent sessions (Jaxson, buddy….you’re next!)…but this time of year I think everyone understands, and when reading this is thinking “What else is new?”.

Sadly, everyone that has walked into my home over the past week for ordering sessions has had to walk past our usual location and into the kitchen…as we are buried under mounds and mounds of Christmas Cards.

At last count…3,400!

The good news is that we are starting to send these out, so look for an email from us in the coming days with news that your gorgeous cards have arrived!

I need to move enough out so that we can use our dining room table again on Thursday…I’m adding office space to my list to Santa this year.

We will also be closed on Thanksgiving day as well as the weekend following, and we hope everyone has a scrumptious, family filled, wonderful Thanksgiving!

(but I’ll still be posting sneak peeks from the last few sessions…so don’t forget to check back!)

What every little girl needs…

November 19, 2006 – 3:04 am

a pair of shiny red shoes!


Arden had her one year session on Friday and I just fell in love with those red shoes! What a shock it was to stand inside her front door and hear tiny footsteps…Arden is walking! So many of our baby planners are turning 1…this past year has just flown by!

This time of year brings out the fall colors, the warm sweaters, and the boogie noses. I love this little outtake of Arden’s parents tag-teaming her to clean her nose. Priceless!

Clara and "the dress"

November 16, 2006 – 12:34 pm

On Monday sweet Clara had her third session as part of her baby plan, and this time we met at her church to photograph her gorgeous, stunning, amazing christening gown.

Not to mention the precious bonnet!

Clara’s mommy is working to be ordained as a priest (not easy for a woman-I admire her dedication!), so we incorporated the church into her portraits.

At the end she slipped out of her gown and into something a little more casual (don’t you want to just pinch that little button nose?)

(and in the words of her parents…”Isn’t she just too ‘tam’ cute?”)

Still here…

November 15, 2006 – 6:31 pm

sort of.

The holiday season is definitely on top of us, and we are just swamped with editing, placing orders, packaging, and most of all….holiday cards!

By this I definitely do NOT mean my own (what’s that saying about cobbler’s children?).

I’m also behind in sharing recent sessions…so forgive me, and hang in there with me…we’re almost through the hardest part of the year!

I do, however, want to take a minute to share a very important piece of information. Feel free to share this with anyone you know that is pregnant…it could save a life!

A photographer friend was pregnant earlier in the year (after years of infertility treatments), and on the morning of her scheduled c-section it was discovered that her baby boy, James, had passed just hours before.

It was tragic, in every sense of the word. But James’ mommy is working hard to turn his story into one that will help save other babies…by educating mommies about kick counts and how important they are.

Click on the images below to read her story, and feel free to pass the information along.

The proof is in the pudding…

or in the picture.

I’m editing a session tonight and keep thinking “This little guy has really grown up since our session last year.”

I dug back into my archives and am loving the comparisons from last year to this year.

This is why photography is so important:

This makes me want to grab my camera and my kids and just play tomorrow! Will, you’re making me nostalgic!
