That’s what they call her–“Bug”… Isn’t it a cute nickname? And she had a ladybug outfit to go with the name.

Miss K is 9 months old and her mommy almost had me teary-eyed realizing how fast this first year is going. It seems like yesterday that I was meeting her for the first time with her little lamby lovie.

Here is her official sneak peek since I couldn’t stay long earlier…

Look at her standing so tall… She loved my red chair–she actually liked all my new stuff!

The family!

‘Why, yes, I am standing!’

There’s that lamb!

This is her little rocker… Which she LOVED! She’d only been in it once before…

Gotta show off the baby blues…

Another close-up… Fun story–Maddie had a very similar pic when she was just a little older than this–blue smocked/cord dress sitting in a chair. I should share the pic sometime!

Little cupcake!

Isn’t she precious?!

Thank you S family! I’m glad we got so much good stuff… Tell Miss K to not stay up too late tomorrow night ringing in the New Year!

Okay, when I saw this one on my screen, I knew I had to blog it…

I’m just posting one for now–I’m supposed to be picking somewhere to eat tonight since the kiddos are with my parents…

Love this face!

I just want to eat her up! Okay, I better go–I promise I’ll be back with more so be sure to check later (tomorrow probably)!

Then we will celebrate the ‘ReaSON for the season’! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas… A time for celebration, love, family… A time to just slow-down.

I’ll leave you with our Christmas card–for those of you that didn’t get to see it yet…

I had it printed on Pearl paper and it was so pretty.

Many blessings to you all… Thank you for a great 2009! I can’t wait to see what 2010 brings…

I’m sure you’ll recognize this family from several weeks ago… We did a holiday session for their cards and then this past weekend we did their maternity session. Little man will be here in less than 6 weeks! Cannot wait to get my hands on a newborn again… It feels like forever since I’ve had one!

Big sister was under the weather, but we still got some cute stuff…

I’m sure daddy has big plans for this little guy…



Lovin’ the boots!

There’s that big sister and that smile we all love!

Where’s the baby?

Reading to baby brother.

Won’t be long…

Thank you C family… I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Yesterday, I got the pleasure of meeting with Miss C again. She turned 4 months old on her mommy’s birthday! She was just precious–we would think she was getting sleepy, so we’d get everything set up in case she did go to sleep and then she’d be all smiles, so we’d change to an awake setting. She had us going, but finally… We got her to sleep and made mommy happy on her birthday!

See for yourself…
But before that we got to play dress-up with cute little outfits and big fluffy bows!

The perfect Christmas basket…


Every time she’d smile, she’d start to roll the other direction… It was so cute!

Where’s the baby?


Her little pouty lips were perfect on her serious face too…


Santa Baby!

Love this little giggle!

So serious… She was getting sleepy here…

And voila! Christmas Angel…

Thank you C family! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your birthday momma and hopefully Miss C took a good nap for you…

Maybe this is what I should give out… LOL! I have yet to really get started on my holiday shopping!

Today, I am on the ball… LOL! Just got back from my session and sneak peek is ready to go… I love doing sneak peeks, so I love to get them ready as soon as I can.

This is Miss G… You will probably remember her little face–she has the most precious lips! She is 3 months old now… She did fantastic at her session today, but boy did we wear her out! LOL!

The best present anyone could get…

Isn’t she sweet?

Hard to see on here, but her hat says, Baby’s 1st Christmas.

My favs!

So peaceful…

Love all her faces!

Her Aunt C got this outfit…

And you can’t do a baby girl session without the tutu!

Mommy’s Little Deer!

Thank you G family! I’m glad we went ahead and did the session (I’ve been under the weather–darn sinuses). We got some cute stuff!

Well, I better get off here… We’re gonna take the kids to the parade.

I’m still in awe–my first official baby planner is ONE! There is no way he can be one already… It was just the other day that I was ordering a special red & white knitted hat for my first baby planner that just happened to be due in December. And how he is one–having his first birthday party this weekend!

But not before spending a little time with me to capture how BIG he is… I honestly wondered how different he could look and even act after just seeing him 3 months ago and let me tell you–he seemed so big–and I’m not even his mommy!

Check him out for yourself!

Just a couple of his favorite things… Lion and dump truck!

See, look at him go–so big!

I love this one… Especially his little fingers pushing the buttons–even if I forgot to check the batteries before coming and the buttons didn’t work–he still pushed them!

Sitting so tall–love his many faces!

The chair was quite funny–he wanted DOWN, but didn’t quite know how.

And you can’t have a one year session without a cake smash!

Thank you G family for having me come into your home and capture Mr. C his first year! I enjoyed watching him grow and can’t wait to continue to see him grow. I look forward to our many sessions to come!

Yep, I’m still here… Just busy, busy, busy! Pretty much finished up the last of the holiday cards and now we’re concentrating on the holiday prints from those same sessions. Add a little sinus infection on top of that and whew, been a little crazy!

Earlier this week, I got to go visit another baby planner. This time it was one of my girls–she is almost 7 months old! I really can’t believe how fast my babies are growing up. Hard to imagine that it was 6 months ago that we did her newborn session.

Here is a sampling of our session…

Santa Baby… She really didn’t like anything on her head, so it’s a miracle that I got this one!

Pretty in pink…


“Well, yes, I can sit quite well…”

Love her expression!


She was doing her best to tear into those candy canes…

A little close-up.

Pretty girl in her Christmas dress!

Thank you D family for having me out again… It seems like I was just there for her 3 month session. Tell Miss A to slow down!

My 21st shoot this month, that is… Wow! A big thank you for my clients–old and new. This has been a great month! I’m definitely blessed that so many of you have chosen me to be your family photographer this month–those of you that came back, those of you that are new and those of you that will continue to come back year after year.

Now, onto shoot number #21… A baby planner. Mr. C and his big sister.

Such a serious little guy…

Checking me out!

There’s a laugh!

So funny!

I’m loving the profile shots…

Baby toes–look how they’re almost ‘grabbing’ each other.

Big sister holding the baby.

Little elf…

Wanna guess what size he is wearing?? He’s a pretty big boy for 3 months old!

Santa hat.

Ahh, sweet kisses from sister!

She does love her baby brother!

Thank you J family… I’m glad we were able to capture some sweet moments for you! I hope baby C took a good nap for you once we left.
