Gracielle & Jason are expecting their first child - a little girl! - in December. I wanted to post a couple for them to see, before I get their gallery ready, so that hopefully, Gracielle will see how gorgeous she is! She was a bit concerned about stretch marks and all the other pregnancy “stuff” that goes along with it, so I hope these will put her mind at ease.

I’ll try to post one looking up, once I get to those!

Yes, it will be here before you know it.  Only a few appointment slots are still available for Christmas photos - book you appointment now!  Remember, we also offer Christmas cards. See this post:

Here are a few Christmas memories from last year:

I posted Halle’s first photos about a week ago, when she was less than thrilled with having her portraits done!  Her mom and dad came back for “Round 2″ this week and we got a lot more accomplished.  She still didn’t want to sleep, but she wasn’t crying, so that was good.  She actually did really great, even fell asleep near the end and smiled!

Mom REALLY wanted the “bow on the butt” shot, but Ms. Halle did NOT want to lay on her belly!  So we improvised.  I think it came out really sweet:

Jack’s mom tried to get him here as a newborn, but as you can see, that didn’t happen!  He is almost 3 months old and full of baby rolls - which I LOVE!  He started out happy:

Then, he got sleepy - which is good.  But Jack did NOT want to be unwrapped!.  He liked to be swaddled.  So, we started with him all wrapped up in a blanket and slowly peeled the layers away.  Here he is down to his diaper and I thought his butt sticking up in the air was so cute!  After this one, we were able to get rid of the diaper and do some bare bottom shots, as well.  I can’t wait to see Jack at 6 months!

This is Miss Dawson.  She has the best 6 month old “rolls”, I just wanted to squeeze her the whole time she was here!  And she has absolutely GORGEOUS eyes and eyelashes - lucky girl!

Meet Jake, my newest baby plan member!  He has the biggest brown eyes and the most joyous smile I believe I’ve seen on a 6 month old.  He smiles with his entire body!!  He had ME laughing!  So, without further ado, here’s Jake…

I met Sam’s parents when I did his mom’s maternity photos over a year ago.  And now, it seems so quickly, he is already one year old!  Here are some of his newborn session.

We had alot of fun with him during this session - dressing him in his turtle costume and letting him eat some cake.  Well, he didn’t EAT much of it, but it was cute, anyway.

This one just makes me smile!
