First Birthdays

In December I got to photograph two very special little boys and their families during their first birthday parties. This first little boy belongs to one of my best friends, Kelli and her wonderful husband, Matt. He was a ham on his 1st birthday and I swear there were like 30 people at his party. It looked like Toys R' US threw up in their living room. :)

 This next little sweetness is my adorable nephew Benjamin on his first birthday with his big sister Sarah. These two are my life and although I don't get to see them as often as I'd like due to my crazy work schedule, I love them more than words can describe. Watching Ben grow up is so interesting because he is VERY different from his big sister. Pretty soon Ben is going to be sticking up for himself so that should make things pretty different at my brother's house. In the meantime, Ben is so sweet and I'm sure he loves his big sister although he gives her some of the meanest looks ever. Sarah definitely picks on Ben and she is quite the handful sometimes. Some say that is just the difference between a boy & a girl. I love them regardless. :)

Ansley 7-1/2 months

I don't know how time slips away so quickly! Its almost February and although I'm great about editing client photos and updating facebook, I'm the worst about keeping up with my blog! Maybe one day for this baby arrives I'll get caught up! ...maybe...

Back in November we had a little visit from our goddaughter Ansley. Her mom is my childhood friend Megan. Kevin & Megan are one of the sweetest, most thoughtful couples I know so I know Ansley will grow up to be the same. I adore Ansley's expressions and she looks a lot like Megan and Megan's dad! Its crazy.

Ruckart Family

Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE repeat customers? Well, I do! I love seeing families months, even a year or more after I photograph them. I love seeing how much the kids have grown and knowing that I've helped capture these milestones. In the spring, I photographed Perri, her husband and the two boys. For Christmas, they decided to do an extended family photo so Perri's sister-in-law, Rachel, set up an extended family session for Christmas. Including two of the grandmothers and the cousins. I adore extended family sessions. Its probably because I've never had any of my own since our extended family is across the northeast. I just think these photos are priceless.

Farnsworth Family

I took these photos of the Farnsworth families during a very chilly saturday in November. It was one of the first cold snaps we had here in Ga and WOW have we had several since. Since we are currently snowed in, I thought I would use this time to try to get caught up on my blog (as well as several other semi-productive things). Isn't this family gorgeous? I hope you enjoy! :)
