Happy Birthday Little Fella!!!

This is little J. He just turned a year old. I can't believe it's been a whole year, it seems like it wasn't that long ago that we were doing his newborn pictures. He's such a handsome little man - and a VERY good sport! After having a big day and enjoying his birthday party, he got all spiffed up and came out for pictures. He's such a little man now - and so stinkin' cute!!

And now for a little walk down memory lane.... this was close to this time last year:

Happy birthday little buddy!

Family Time

I always have a great time with this family. You've seen this little lady on the blog before and now she's about to be a big sister! I hope you guys enjoy your previews....and congratulations in advance on the new baby!

Happy Holidays!

I can't believe the time has passed by so quickly! It feels like I just blinked and here we are in the next holiday season. It seems like I notice it more now that I have a kid....there's this little growing, changing, person in your life that marks new milestones with each year that passes. It makes me more reflective and I like to think I have a greater appreciation for time these days. Anyway, since we have hit the holidays again, I took some time to get my little guy out for his holiday pictures. Yes, I did use this as an opportunity to play dress up with him (the clothes don't really make the man, I know, but they sure do look cute!).... and I'm not sure how many years of this we have left before he won't let us do it anymore.

Little D

This is little D. He was such a great sport for his pictures - flashing me big smiles and showing off his tough little faux hawk. What a cute little guy!

What a Sweetheart!

If you are a regular blog reader, you've seen this sweet little girl a few times before! It took her a few minutes to warm up to me today, but once she did, she was full of smiles and giggles! I just love photographing her - she's such a sweetheart, and I just adore her little curls! I hope you guys like your previews!

Schedule & A New Special

Thanks to everyone who has booked a session with me this month! I wanted to provide a quick schedule update. I am completely booked through the end of November and have only a few openings in December. If you would like a December session, please let me know ASAP. Otherwise, I am running a special for those of you who can wait until after the holidays. Book a session in January or February 2010 and receive 25% off of your print purchase.

In the meantime, I'll share some pictures with you from my most recent trip. I spent most of this week in Chicago (I really love Chicago!) and here are some of the sites:

Sweet Girl

This sweet girl and her parents met me for a morning session. It was so much fun and she is SO super smart and cute! She was cracking me up - everytime I snapped a picture or aimed the camera at her, she made clicking sounds to imitate the sound of the camera. What a cutie! Thanks so much for a great session!

A Year Later...

I really enjoy photographing this family - they are so laid back and comfortable in front of the camera. Plus, the kids are adorable and hilarious. And is there really a better combination than adorable and hilarious?? Thanks for the session!

Sunday Sessions #1

November started with three sessions in a row on Sunday - that was a busy day! This lovely family had the first session of the day. Little J is adorable and he was ready to go go go! It was so fun to see him enamored with the squirrels...he might have chased one or two ;). It was the perfect start to my day - thanks so much for the session!

Previews from the other sessions to come throughout this week!
