“A brother is a friend provided by nature.”

~ Legouve Pere

It was wonderful to see this family again–can’t believe that it has been a year!  The brothers are still as handsome as ever and I couldn’t resist posting this shot of the two of them jumping.  They won for the highest jumps of the day!  Wow!!    It was great to see you again, M family!! Thanks so much!

“A happy family is but an earlier heaven.”

Wow.  This little redhead has grown up so much since I last saw her for her newborn session back in July.  She was a gorgeous newborn, and she is a gorgeous baby, too!  Check out those eyes!  I just love this family–so sweet and they adore their daughter.  I can’t wait until mama starts to sell some of the awesome kids clothes she makes!  Hint, hint girlie–get going!  He he!

Wow!  These two sisters and their mom were so fun!  They giggled and just had the best time with each other.  I adore the colors that they wore, too!  So bright and they totally made their photographs, don’t you think?  Their clothing choices really accented their eyes, too!

~Gail Lumet Buckley

…and so were the first two times I got to photograph this family!  I last saw this sweetheart when she was a mere four days old, and she is now an alert little six week old.  Time flies! To me, it is one of the best compliments to have returning clients.  Almost all of my mini session clients this time were ones I have had the pleasure of photographing before.  It was wonderful to see all of you again!  You all rock!  Hope you’re enjoying your new camera!

“Cousins are friends that will love you forever.”

How adorable are these three?!  I had the opportunity to photograph this little pumpkin when she was born, and now with her two cousins.  They adore their new cousin, and they are just so sweet with her.  Thanks for being my little models–boy did sister know how to pose!

When this family showed up dressed in these fabulous colors, I was so excited!  I love it when my clients dare to go bold with fun colors.  They are the perfect example of how families can coordinate with one another rather than match.  Awesome!  These sisters were so adorable and were naturals in front of the camera (their mom, Amy, owns Tote and Tee and they have been her models for some time now)!  Check out Amy’s website and the great tees that she has–I ordered one for Jackson for his third birthday with a big “3″ on it.  I am in love with the modern print that Amy used for the “3″.  Thanks for a fun session…I hope you enjoyed your “stay-cation” (I couldn’t resist, Dad!) in Scottsdale!

“A boy’s story is the best that is ever told.”
~ Charles Dickens

I had so much fun photographing this little sweetie!  What little boy doesn’t love to play with cars?  He was a natural in front of the camera–I mean, check out that pose! 

If you book a Holiday Mini Session, both packages come with 24 holiday cards–here is just one of your choices.  Way cute, right?  Heather from Peapod Announcements designed the template –I love her!  Before I started doing my own cards, I used her to create Jack’s birth announcement, his Christening announcement and his First Birthday invitation…yep, I love her a lot!  So, it was only natural that I use her fab-u templates for this year’s holiday card choices.  Oh, and FYI–she has the cutest Halloween cards!

Each card is press printed on your choice of pearl or linen paper and include a front and a back.   The pearl has a gorgeous sheen to it, and a more modern look, while the linen is beautifully textured and gives a classic feel to your cards.  Up to three revisions are included–I can change photographs, make them black and white, change the wording, etc.  People will be talking about your holiday cards for years to come!

Even if you are not doing a mini session, all past clients that have had a session with me can order holiday cards through me, too! Yay!

Stay tuned for more sneakie peekies of your holiday card choices!  You’ll love them!

Don’t forget–there are still some spots left for the Holiday Mini Sessions!  The first two people that book with me today will receive a Starbucks gift card…or find out how to enter to win below!!
