I've done 6 newborns in the last 3 weeks. I've never seen a tiny back this fuzzy.

If their mom isn't going to enter them in a "cutest kid" contest, then I will....

My brothers little boy.

Couldn't resist posting one...only, because he is the rolliest, cutest, and happiest 6 month old around!

recent favorites

We spent part of last week and the weekend in California....visiting THE Mickey and Minnie, and of course the princesses. My girls were beside themselves.
This is the only shot we got with all of us.

Do you get nervous asking a stranger to grab your camera from you, Awkward, then having them taking a picture of you???? Half the time it's completely out of focus. "thank you sir," with a big smile.

In case you were wondering, I am yet to get a picture for our Christmas card. Running out of time aren't we :( We had a second attempt at the beach photos while we were there this time. Nope. Not even close to working out. It was way too windy and freezing cold, plus the light was horrible. Booo! I just loaded our pictures from the trip. We got a good laugh out of this. Ava in the hotel on her birthday. She got a new dress, and some " real high heels," (little 1/2" wedges that she's begged for the last 3 months)....let me add, she's only 5. Look at her thinking she is IT - tuckin her hair, crossin her legs, calling/dialing out like she knows exactly who she's looking up, and out of that bible. Can't get enough of that girl!

We had some good times. I'll be glad to share more (from our trip and of your pretty people), when I get my head above water :))

Craziness. A few thoughts

So I've decided my blog will probably be pushed aside for the next little while. My time will be in trying to get all my galleries up and time editing (I'll try to throw a few on here and there). Please know that ALL YOUR SELECTIONS NEED TO BE IN BY THE 30TH, if you want your discs and prints before Christmas =)

Next year I am seriously planning a few "mini sessions" for people, ahead of time because I was really trying/wanting to work out a time to fit it in this year but, lame, I've got nothing.... I don't have a single Saturday either, for the rest of the year. It would help us all out I think. Plan on it for next year, it will be a lot less in cost, but you'll only get a couple of edits on the disc. Yeah!? And I think I'll attempt my own Christmas card designs, I'm excited! Sorry I'm lame and didn't get it together this year. Here I talk ambitiously a year in advance, this way there will be no excuses to not do it I guess!

I'm looking forward to seeing all you. One tip, DON'T stress! That's for my clients but mostly myself.

October boy

This here is my new little nephew, Eli. This was probably the second time I've ever heard him cry (I guess he's only been here 9 days ;) Isn't he cute!? All the others he's peacefully sleeping and letting us nicely fidget and move him all around. This one might be my favorite though.

Look at these brown eyes! My husband has that deep brown in his eyes too (this is his sister). She's lucky to be so beautiful, and make such beautiful babes.

It's good we got some good pumpkin ones before my dog came and ate the pumpkin. Seriously, what on earth makes me love those animals? It's retarded! She took a bite out of the kids pumpkin, and chewed a few other things that she knows better than. I got a little fumed up, and Ava had to pretty much tell me I really didn't need to be so rude. To heck I did. I'm pretty sure she was mad at me because I locked her up when I was doing pictures this morning, and then straight after ran errands. So she was ignored most of the day, I guess. Wa wa.


HOPE YOUR HALLOWEEN IS A GOOD ONE!

Meet Lola.

I love her name. I also lover her cute tiny tongue sticking out in so many of them. Adorable....and man, she's got a beautiful momma (I guess it makes sense that these girls are stunning).
...and her welcoming big sister. They are sweet as they come
