I cannot believe we have already hit September! That means we only have a little over 3 months to fit your holiday sessions in. Like last year, I will be taking a much needed break in early December and will be on vacation until March 1st.

That being said, my LAST session date for the 2011 season will be DECEMBER 11th. I will re-open in March for the Spring season. This does not apply to those who have an upcoming birth or newborn session or to those who are on a Baby Plan. We will still hold your sessions. :)

Starting next week, I will be taking only 1-2 sessions a week through December 11th. Plus, the earlier you hold your session, the bigger discount off your holiday session you will get. If you hold your session in September, you can take $20 off either session fee. If you hold your session in October, you can take $10 off either session fee. Pricing in November will be what you see in the specials below.

I am offering two Holiday sessions this year. The Holly and The Jolly. Session fee is due at time of booking to guarantee your desired time/date. Once you contact me with your session time, I will send you an invoice for the session fee.

Today it was like flash back city for me. This family is sporting 3 kids three and under with the youngest a newborn. So well do I remember those days. Well, I sort of remember them. Lol! Sleep deprivation will cloud the memories. I do know that there was a lot to be laughed about, although at the time, I was far from laughing.

I was a little nervous about how the session would go since Little {E} is over 3 weeks old. I have to say that he was an absolute dream, though! He slept for a good 45 minutes at the start of the session, letting me do whatever I wanted. Then, after his snack, he was content just hanging out. This was probably one of the quickest newborn sessions I have ever done. :)

I so enjoyed getting to hang out with Little {E} and play tickle monster with Big Brother and Sister. Totally made my morning. :)

Take a peek! Check out the head of hair on him! (he’s already gotten a hair cut)

I never do weddings. I just have never had the drive to try and do them. BUT… when I got the email requesting to do this one, I absolutely could not turn it down. I have followed this family, the mother a woman I used to teach with, over the past 14 months. A lot of you know their story and some of you don’t. Griffin has quite the army and his story has such a happy ending. I will share more about his story and the Love Story that unfolded a little later, but for now a small peek at the beauty and joy this family embarked on this past weekend. Holly, you were {are} beautiful!

The summer of babies continues on in full force. This sweet baby girl was so calm and peaceful. She was so content throughout the session. I fell in love with her right away when I walked in the door and saw her all swaddled and peaceful in the light of the front window. She is just perfect. Oh, and her little lips were plump, pink and absolutely to die for!

Take a peak!

We sure did have fun dressing this little doll up. She was such a stinker and wanted nothing to do with posing for me… that is until we put on her pretty little pink tutu and matching headband. The tutu was not the softest material, but go figure, as soon as she had it on, she went into a coma and got very upset with me when I took it off. Watch out, Dad! Only one week old and she already has style.

My absolute favorite part of the session was getting to feed and cuddle with her. You never know what you will walk into when starting a newborn session. My luck, she was ready to eat, so I jumped on the opportunity to feed, diaper and burp her. :)

Take a peak at little {A} and all of her sweetness. Such a cute family.

A tiny one at that! How cute is this bump? She insisted on meeting early on so that she would have pictures to share at the her shower. I have met Big brother before, but he was under a year old. Now he’s running, laughing and politely saying “no” when he doesn’t want to do something. My favorite part is when he ran up to his mom while we were trying to do bare belly shots and said “No” and proceeded to pull her shirt down. Lol! It worked out in my favor since every time he tried, it deceivingly made it look like he was being super sweet and saying hi to his baby sister. Hehe!

I cannot wait to meet this sweet little girl, even though I will be waiting a good 6-8 weeks to do so. This is definitely going to be a summer of babies!

I love the look on his face. Lol! Couldn’t resist putting up this outtake.

Definitely hippity, but not from the Easter Bunny. Nope, these kiddos were much more interested in the tree frog that mom caught and put into a water bottle for them. :) I met them Saturday morning on Little Brother’s 2nd birthday. Have I ever mentioned what it is like photographing kiddos between the age of 18 months – 2 years? It is definitely fun, challenging, but fun. They are certainly off in their own world and want nothing to do with the things you try and bribe them to do. So, instead I follow them around, stalking them if you must, and wait for the rare occasions they sit still for a few minutes. Lol! It is definitely the age that you will capture them at their true state of play. Happy birthday big guy!

There really is such a difference between boys and girls. I don’t care if you have a girl that is the biggest tomboy on this planet. Boys truly are their own species. There really is no other way to describe it. Lol! I got to hang out with this family a couple of weeks ago. Big brother would occasionally stop to pose with his brother and then go off running in circles. I asked him to give his mom a kiss on the cheek and he wanted nothing of it. I ask him to blow a raspberry on her cheek (to make it look like a kiss) and he’s all for spitting all over her face. Hahaha! I often find myself looking at my boys and wondering where in the heck they came from. They can do some of the most strangest things. Wouldn’t trade being a boy mom for the world! Glad to have another mom, like this one, join the club.

I already showed a quick peek of one of the girls from this session on my Facebook page, but really wanted to share some others of all the girls. Yes, girls. Three of them. A perfect compliment to my three boys. Lol! Don’t tell their dad. Again, I was in love with the light from this evening. I absolutely couldn’t get enough of it. :)

After finding out that all my wildflowers were dead and gone, I had to come up with a last minute spot to meet a few other mom’s for some Spring sessions. It turned out being a great location, one I have frequented, but I couldn’t have asked for better lighting on this specific evening. I was in love! Plus I got to play around with this little cutie! We even looked for whales in the small pond that we walked around. Who knew something so big could fit into something so small. It apparently was something that she truly enjoyed because she had to share the news to her dad. Luckily she didn’t spill the beans about meeting to take pictures since these are a birthday surprise for him.
