McAllister Family

my final christmas session (that i can publish right now) is the mcallister family. they get the award for the coldest session. the high was in the high 30s and it was windy! we had planned to do most of the session outside... that didn't last too long! we finished up by their christmas tree :0)
christi found me through stroller strides... a great work out for mom and baby :) i am partnering with them and offering special discounts for any stroller strides moms!! let me know if you are interested ;) (i added a page on my website for them!!)
carson is almost exactly the same age as madeline... and so cute!
thanks guys! it was so great to meet you!!

Denny family

the next part of the session was for the whole denny family. debbie (the momma) was my mentor when i first became a mom. i just love her!! her family is really close and i wanted to know how to make my family just as close! what do you know... now i have 3 girls, so why not learn from someone who has been there before!! unfortunately we don't get to see each other as much any more :(
i was really excited to get to see everyone ;) thanks for getting in touch with me!!

merry christmas!

i like this group one... with all of the families separated but still together ;)

we finished up just as they were turning on the christmas tree! so beautiful! merry christmas!

Stanmire family

i did another joint session for the stanmire and denny families. i knew both families from our old church. they are both wonderful families that i hadn't seen in a while. i was excited when they contacted me to do a session and was very excited to see them!
first up is the stanmire family. we met downtown for the session. lots of great background choices :)
jennifer and i have been friends from a while, her oldest daughter is just about the same age as mine :) thanks jennifer! it was great to see you!

Eddy Family

i met the eddy family at the beach in early december to do their christmas pictures. their session took place on one of the coldest days so far this winter (although i did do one colder session... more on that to come). but once we got out there it wasn't too bad ;) the kids were troopers and did an excelent job!

anna lost her first baby tooth the next day. pretty impressive timing!!christian was sooo laid back :)
this is the only smile he cracked the whole time!
sibling love :)

thanks guys!! it was great to hang out with you! see you at church!
