Sweet Family of 4

...and that's including the puppy!

I had a lot of fun doing this session. Mr C is 2 and quite the little character. Definately a little cutie for sure! Here are a few of my favorite images.

A Related Holiday Session

The other of my Sunday sessions was for my sister and nephew.

And of course it wouldn't be complete without a little more fun & games of the non-agenda keeping 5 year old...

"You want WHAT for Christmas?"

A -Cowboy- Family

One of my sessions this past weekend was for a cute little cowboy family. Here are a few of my favorite images from their session. Little Miss T, being 2 is all about being the boss and Mr C well, at 7 months, he is just cute as can be, and interested in everything.

Boys will be Boys...part 2

So...yesterday I took some holiday portraits for my sister and my nephew. Yet again he proves that 5 year olds have their own seperate agenda...it doesn't really consist of photographs or listening, but smelling feet is always great fun!

If these were for halloween my caption would have been,
"Trick or Treat, smell my feet....been there done that"

And so...todays post is just to bring smiles. Check back later for a few more from this session as well as 2 other family sessions.

A few more...

I finished Anna's portraits this morning...here are a couple of my favorites. Although, I may be seeing them with my "mommy goggles".

She's not always impossible!

Some outtakes ~Lil' Angel Anna~

Yesterday, while decorating for Chirstmas, I decided that it would be a good time to do the first round of our family holiday portraits. I had this idea floating in my head to use a tutu I had made and a little angel headband I bought last year.... well as you can see in the first photo, exactly how the angel idea went over (notice the halo in the bottom corner).
I'm pretty certain that the thought going through the Lil' Miss' head at this time is: "I'm only going to give you my cheezey smile...cause I have my own agenda today, and this isn't included!"

This is probably one of my favorites from the day....all her real smiles are generated when Daddy is near by. He was a wonderful assistant :-)

~the Fur Kid~

Meet Jake. Jake is my dad & step-mom's Fur Kid. Jake was our entertainer for Thanksgiving...well at least he kept the kiddos occupied for a while.

These are the morning after Thanksgiving, before my nephew woke up.

He was just so cute, I couldn't resist.

~Happy Thanksgiving~

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. I sit here this evening thinking about the things that I am thankful for.
My family & friends, especially my husband, who works incredibly long hours so that I can stay home with our daughter and pursue my Photography business. He is my rock & best friend. I don't know where I'd be, or what I'd be doing right now if it weren't for him. He's always there for me and supports me 100%. My daughter, whom keeps me going and on my toes everyday. Watching her grow and change is such a wonderful blessing. She is the light of my life. My unborn baby, who's growing and getting bigger daily. Although being pregnant is tiresome and stressful at times, I am so blessed to have the wonderful miracle of life in me.
Thankful for everything that God is providing for my family. Although we've been through some rough times and currently still having some difficulty, God is always there, providing for us when and where we least expect. It is amazing the love and warmth He provides us with. When there seems to be no way, God always shows us that there is a way.
I'm thankful for my customers, who have given me the opportunity to shoot them. You all have been wonderful.
On this day where we reflect on the things that we are thankful for, I just want to thank you all for being a part of my life.

**God's Blessings**
