Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

good things come in tiny packages...

like these sweet little newborn twin babies. Finally, a sneak peek for mom and dad. Hope they bring a smile through the holiday season.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

a bowl of baby goodness...

yawn...
a moment with daddy

the votes are in...

drumroll please...
for no. 11 Curly Haired Girl
This little cutie pie's mama has yet to look at the proofs so this should be a nice surprise to have a 11 x 14" print to order! Congrats to the T family and Miss M for winning the blog contest.

It was an amazingly close contest with the difference of one vote. Coming in a close 2nd was no.10 Freedom. Since it was so close I am going to give the 2nd place winner a 5 x 7" print from their recent session. Please contact me to claim your prizes.

And then my little assistant helped me draw a name for the $25 Starbucks card. The gift card goes to Kimberley West.

Thanks to all of you that took the time to send in your votes. Wishing you all happy holidays!

picture perfect baby G.

It was such a treat to take pictures of Baby G and his wonderful parents in their picture-perfect home. I loved their design aesthetic and wonderful modern furniture. And check out little G's nursery which is the cutest ever room I have seen. Don't you think??



At eight days old, little G didn't sleep a whole lot in the course of my stay but I still got some great pictures. Here is one of the sweet little angel when he did nap.
And a tender moment in daddy's safe arms.

Back in town from the midwest

I am back! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

First things first... For all the clients waiting on prints, I know you must all be anxious to get your orders back and I have been working on them as fast as I can. In fact, I spent a good deal of my vacation processing the orders so you can have them back in time for the holidays. The normal time for custom art prints is between 2-4 weeks and your orders should be ready by mid-December with the exception of some custom fine art pieces (canvases, storyboards, etc). I will email you as soon as your orders are ready!

Brrr... It is so good to be back to our "warmer" weather. In the midwest, we were ill-equiped with winter gear and I had to run and buy some clothes to make it through our week plus long stay. I don't take as many pictures of my boy anymore but we were sorta in the middle of nowhere (at my IL's) and I got him to do a few pictures for me on the run. The tall grass made a wonderful foreground/background in taking pictures.

and he was done...I love the look on his face here.
