First session of the new year! And it is soooo refreshing to be caught up and already proofing and blogging this one. End of last year I was just. so. behind.

Little Miss P was born last January-this was her debut:

And 3 sessions later…here she is-1 YEAR OLD. Miss P loooooves her mommy. She did not want to be seperated for one second. Luckily-I had some wooden blocks and they were a hit!



It always amazes me how fast the time goes. One minute, it’s maternity images and super excited/nervous new parents-the next minute, a toddler running around. And we are looking at each other, like-didn’t we JUST do the newborn session? I love watching these babies grow up.

Have a wonderful weekend!

What to do with this crazy, black dog.  We got him almost 6 months ago-some days it feels like 6 years!  The chewed on crocs, my driver’s license with holes in it (I forsee a trip to the DMV!), children running in all directions as he comes bounding down the hall. But when he has a quiet moment-like in these pictures here-I realize that we really do love this dog.  Like war veterans, we have all been through so much together.  We watch American Idol on our bed while he lays all over us and snores.  The girls take turns feeding and brushing him;  in fact, they fight over it.  Just like toddlers-he won’t be little forever.  In 5 years he will laze around the house and we will miss our insane, active dog.  So I am trying to just enjoy it!  Here’s what I captured during a few brief, quiet minutes with Buddy.

OK I have been on facebook for some time now…tracking down my best friends from junior high, laughing at horrible pictures.  But let’s face it-everyone is on facebook, including my clients-so why not have a fan page.  You can check it out (and become a fan, come on, you know you want to) by clicking here!


This week: We Are Family

I ♥ Faces has weekly photo challenges to help boost your creativity, plus tons of helpful tips and tricks. You can check them out here!

Here’s my entry. This session occurred last summer–a Mom called me and wanted me to photograph her family (2 kids) and also her brother, his wife and their 2 kids, and then grandma and grandpa. She was surprising everyone when they all got together for a visit. It was so much fun seeing these guys together. You can tell how much the grandparents adore those grandchildren…and they are hoping to move to Colorado soon to be closer to everyone! In this image we have 3 generations–grandmother, mother and daughter. One of my favorites from the session.

I just checked it this morning, really.  I am alive!  I completely checked out and took a much-needed break, but now I am back and ready for 2010.  And since I am so behind on blogging-I figured why not summarize the whole year in a nifty little slideshow.  I used Animoto and boy was it easy.  Just upload your images and they do it all for you!  Totally worth it, in my book.  So here it is….2009 in review.
