This pretty mama LOVES having pics taken of her kids- my kind of girl! We just finished up with two Halloween shoots, when we did this holiday session!

I love the bright baby blue eyes on these kids- gorgeous!

I met this sweet girl at my Halloween mini session and was so glad that her family came back for some holiday photos. She is so smiley and cute!

Whew…there were times when I didn’t think I was going to make it through this holiday season! I was busier than I have ever been and I thank ALL of you who booked sessions with me.

As a result of barely keeping up with all of the work that was pouring in, I had to let certain things go, like this blog, for instance. But I am going to make an effort to get caught up on blogging some of these amazing sessions before the new year. Here goes!!

Thank you to all of you that shared all month long. I loved reading all of the different posts every day. Many were very touching and some were just funny! I am truly thankful for such great clients and I wish you could all win a free session!

As a final ‘thank you’ I am offering a free 8×10 from any future session to those that participated and commented at least once during the month. As a reminder, prices will be increasing in the new year, but if you book a 2012 session and pay your sitting fee before January 1st, you will have access to the current pricing!

Now to announce the winner!! (I used Random.org to make sure this was completely fair)

Comment #143: Sarah Dunleavy Thompson I am thankful for my sweet dogs. Since we have had our girls I feel like the dogs have been slightly neglected 😦 They are the sweetest, most patient dogs though. I love them!

Congratulations to Sarah!! Thanks to all of you for participating and Happy Holidays!

Sarah- please call me at your convenience to discuss your free session- 757-236-5532

What a beautiful evening on a beautiful beach, with a beautiful family! There is something about family photos in front a pier that I just love. I love the shadows and reflections on the water and all of the visual interest that the pier adds to beach shots. Also, check out the cutest little baby Converse shoes on this little guy that matched his big brother’s and dad’s. How cute!

Little Cody was here at the studio for his second appointment in the Baby Steps Program.  Can you believe this chunky monkey is only four months old? He will be overtaking his two year old sister by the time he is six months old!

This sweet girl came to the studio to celebrate her first birthday and while she was here we went ahead and did some Christmas photos as well. What a cutie! It makes me so happy when clients come back for a second appointment with me! Thanks!

***HALF OFF SESSION FEES TODAY ONLY*** In honor of Veteran’s Day and 11-11-11, I am offering half off of all session fees for SPRING sessions booked and PAID for today. As an added bonus, all sessions that are booked now will still be able to order from my current price list as prices are going up on January 1st!!

This handsome little guy has also been enrolled in my Baby Steps Program and I couldn’t be happier!  Although he did not want to sleep much during his session, we were able to capture some sweet photos of him nonetheless!

I am so lucky that this sweet baby has been enrolled in my Baby Steps Program and will be visiting me in the studio every four months. She was the perfect newborn model. She slept the entire session and let me put her in any position I wanted. She is absolutely perfect! I enjoyed seeing her older sister (not older by very much) and photographing the whole sweet family together!
