a special Promise for Christmas.

For the Christmas and New Year holidays we have been traveling to visit family and friends. It has been going by fast and we're really enjoying getting to see everyone. One of our stops was to welcome my BF's newest addition, meet Chloe Promise. She was suuuuch a sleepy baby at only 9 days old. She's got her days & nights a little turned around so far, great for me photographing her...not so great for her Mommy at night.











the beautiful knits were from various sources:

other hats bought to benefit the HAP project: http://rectangle6x9.org/Home%20Page.htm

Winter Wonderland

It just did not stop snowing all day!! My baby would point out the windows non-stop telling us all about how beautiful it was...at least I'm pretty sure that is what she was saying =) I was standing just inside my patio doors when I took this shot but tomorrow I plan to get brave and actually get outside for some photos.

Miracles.

I've already posted some of their images (the sweet sleeping Dylan & Tanner) but I wanted to show their beautiful Momma too that worked so hard nurturing and growing them for nearly 9 months =) Pregnancy is such a beautiful miracle, I never felt more beautiful than when I was pregnant!

the spark of the soul

Our routine: find a fun spot, de-jacket, think warm thoughts, click-click, re-jacket =) Good times with this beautiful family on a chilly day at the beach. Sweet story: I've started getting balloons for toddlers when I meet them to photograph, it brightens their countenance if we need a little re-charging during the session. Well these little ones were nothing but bubbly & bright and I didn't remember the balloons in my car till we were all done. So I give them to them and not minutes later Stewey (the little brother) looses his to the clouds...Sherrie his littler big sister offers her balloon a when that doesn't cheer him up off goes her balloon to the clouds too..... was that not the most caring gesture that a 5 year old can make for her little brother?! Way to go Sherrie =)

2 Snoozy Babes

They had everything going for them: boys, born early, sippin' on formula...several checks for a sleepy snoozy baby! Here are some shots of sweet Dylan & Tanner and their proud parents too =)

10 pounds of precious

Meet Emily & Alex, twins born with a combined weight of barely 10 pounds! They were really smitten with my arrival at their home to photograph them, so much so they wanted to stay awake and visit with me the entire time....we still managed to get just a couple snoozy images =)

More of Sosi & Zora

I put a sample of these little sweeties in a previous blog but thought they deserved a blog all to their own =) They were a treat to work with so full of life and sunshine. Here is the link to their mommy's Facebook, she creates artistic baby & toddler wear:
