Phoenix has a million adorable faces.  He giggled and laughed.  Such a happy, gorgeous baby boy.  Those deep chocolate eyes and perfect lips.  And the dimples…just added sweetness.  Such a love.

Megan will capture your love in moments. Her deep eyes, delightful self, beautiful (and so verrrrrry long) lashes.  Sweet, sweet baby girl.  She was born Christmas Eve – and just now tipping 7 lbs.  Dainty, feminine fingers and cuddling, curling toes.  I could’ve spent the whole day with her. Little angel.

Our wonderful friends, Matt & Natalie Metzger of Fotobet and Matt & Nat Photography, had their little angel.  Weston Michael came to see me just six days old.  Sweet perfection.  Could not be happier for them.  He is such a love and his big sister, Adelaide, is so cute with him.  She was beyond helpful and taking cue from both Natalie and I in the studio.  Darling family.  Congratulations!  Love you all! xo

I hope everyone is enjoying the new year and starting new – new year, new goals, new adventures.  I am working on sprucing up the studio to offer new props and looks to repeat clients as well as new.  Super excited for whats to come.  I have a great feeling about 2012.  : )

This will be my last personal post from the holidays.  I apologize in advance to doting on my kids and for poor shots that I have to share because I adore them.

I took the full month of December off due to my surgery and then my step-son was in town for break.  Although our Christmas was wonderful, I’m excited to get back to work.  Back to a schedule.  I start back with clients this week – fun!

So on the morning of St. Nick’s day – Santa left half his cookie for Finn, knowing he had a really hard time leaving it for Santa the night before.  Miles was up first – thought he’d have a bite, or two, or three.  :)

This cool nutcracker was gifted to me from my dear friend, Angela, whose husband was stationed overseas – and she shipped this to me from Germany.  I adore it.  Love it. It has a safe and special place I put it – where the kids can’t reach.  :)

Frosty is another favorite.  From my childhood.  And our advent calendar – filled with tiny ornaments that the kids then decorate this small tree day by day.

This particular evening we all sat outside, anxiously waiting as we heard the sirens getting closer.  Santa comes on our city’s fire truck!  He brings one gift for each kid as a little preview to the big day.  :)  Finn was SO excited.

Finn had a small Christmas concert at his school.  Shane and I were the only who went because we honestly did not think he’d even stay on stage.  Finn is our so-shy guy.  He’s fine at home, but quickly shuts down when around a lot of other people.  I was SO proud of him for standing there.  : )

I LOVE getting Christmas cards.  One of the few times of the year I’m excited to walk to the mailbox.  The best is when clients send me cards displaying what they did with their photos.  I love to see their creativity and also to know they’re enjoying them.  Thank you!!

This is the full stack of all the cards we received.  I am humbled and feel so blessed to have so many amazing people in our lives.  Thank you for taking the time to share your words and photos with us. We cherish them!

After Christmas is past, I cut the photo cards and display your sweet faces here on our living room ceiling so we can glance at them all year.  I did, however, keep the client cards uncut so I can keep them for samples.  Please don’t be bummed if you don’t see your cute faces – I still have them!

Christmas morning.  This first one is my favorite.  Finn so excited, yet waiting so patiently for us to get everything ready.  I love the peace on his face.

 

I hope this holiday season was filled with joy and happiness for each of you.  Thanks for stopping by to see what we’ve been up to.  Happy New Year!
