Such an awesome session last night!  I had the chance to meet 6-year old twin sisters…who were so spunky and fun!  What a great chance it was for me to capture their personalities!  And considering there were about a dozen photographers out between the two locations we shot at, we certainly had our work cut out for us!  I loved their outfits, their smiles, and how they interacted with each other.

Two years ago next week, Tate was my very first newborn client.  His sweet aunt (who I’ve known forever) arranged for me to take his pictures shortly after he arrived home from the hospital.  Now…he’s back, and at almost two, is super active and was a real trooper for braving the crazy cold morning!  It was so fun to see him in action…and those baby blues are just about to die for!

Another new babyplanner!! Can you believe it, two amazingly gorgeous mamas to be this week?!!?  I am so excited to find out if this little one is a boy or a girl…so far I have a lot of new boy babyplanners so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a little girl!  Mom and dad were up for anything last night…and the wind, while a bit crazy, totally worked in our favor!  Take care, and I can’t wait to hear pink or blue soon!

I have had the pleasure of watching Jaime’s belly grow over the last 9 months…as I’ve been meeting her monthly to get a single shot of her belly for an awesome storyboard we are working on…as soon as her little one gets here and the board is complete I’ll be sharing it here! We finally got to meet for her full maternity session this week with her husband after being weather delayed a couple of weeks ago…it was a gorgeous night!! I am so excited that her daughter will be one of my newest babyplanners!

The holiday minis have been going great…I still have a handful to complete before the seas0n is over, but I wanted to share a sampling of some of the families I have seen this month.  And a special thanks to my friend Sarah for letting us have use of your loft…it is an awesome space!
