The Sweet Life

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!)

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?”)

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!
