{ Rest in peace. }

You may remember my post about Judy- HERE. I am sad to write today Judy has lost her courageous battle with cancer yesterday morning at 7 a.m. I am grateful her family got to spend one final Thanksgiving with her, and I also know if my heart she is now at peace. God bless this family. Grand-daughter Addison has a special angel watching her now.

{Special. }

Like promised- here is a Black Friday special offer for you- I am extending it through the weekend (Nov. 30th), unless it fills before then. Because once spots are gone- they are gone!!

 Here is the offer:

The first person to email/ call will receive a FREE session!!!

The 2nd-6th people will receive $40 off the regular session fee!!!

The 7th-10th people to email/ call will receive $20 off the regular session fee!!!

All ten people will also be extended our 2008 pricing for these sessions! I will be on vacation until December 1st, however, my email system and phone system records days/ times. Therefore I will be able to tell who called/ emailed first, etc. I will then make a list and notify the first 10. You must then book your session or I will go on to other people. (Again- these are for Jan./ Feb. sessions only- no switching of months)

{ More pink! }

Newborn Ella made THREE sweet baby girls in less than 24 hrs for me. I was in heaven! Just under 2 weeks old- she was alert, sleepy, and beautiful. She joins a wonderful family who is already totally in love with her. Happy belated birthday, Miss Ella!

{ Beginnings. }

I love families that come in with first babies- heck, I love ALL newborns, but that first baby is so special. This sweet couple came in last week with new daughter Nola, and the love was so apparent in their faces. She was so adorable! Here are just a few to share. Congratulations, you two!! And YAY for coming in during those first few weeks- you will be so happy you did!

{ Baby girl. }

Sweet baby Marissa- long awaited and welcomed with such joy! I was thrilled when I heard baby had arrived, and I was right when I thought it would be a girl. :) A perfect addition to this wonderful family- big brother Matthew loves her so much already. It is so sweet to watch. It was a long road for you guys, but I am so happy for you! Congratulations, and welcome to the world sweet baby girl!

{ Cousins. }

This good looking group of cousins came in to get a portrait done for Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas. I love the bright colors of their outfits! I'm a little late blogging this session- it is that time of year again where things take a few more days. So without any more waiting- here are a few sneak peaks for the moms, and your gallery will be posted today!! Enjoy!!

{White, wet, Christmas. }

Our 2 day White Christmas Limited Edition was a really fun event with adorable kiddos dressed in holiday outfits, pajamas, etc. What made it wet? Well, the fact my washer overflowed seconds before a session and the wonderful Berg family (THANK YOU!!) helped mop up the mess with me. Man, I never knew how much water could come out of a washer! Despite the unexpected, we got amazing shots, and I just loved how they all turned out. Here are just  a few from Friday. I will try to post some more soon.

{ Mine. }

Despite the craziness of this time of year, I made it a goal to get a good shot of all three of my OWN kiddos together. With the girls on the move, it made quite the challenge I tell you, but I want to share the one I fell in love with. The gentle smile of big brother Noah in the middle, arms around his sisters. (I like to think in a protective kind of way! :) ) The sweet smiles from my babies- ok, not so much babies anymore, showing me glimpses of the little girls they are growing into every day...

This just arrived in a 24x30 canvas for our entryway, and I just LOVE it! Now I might not attempt another group shot until they are in their teens- lol, but at least I got one NOW. And that is what my goal was- to capture now, today, this moment. So here are my sweet, adorable, can-drive-me-nuts-at-times children, whom I am so proud to call MINE.
