this has been an amazing year…i don’t know where the time has gone.  as i look back, i have so many wonderful memories in 2009.  i am incredibly blessed with my own sweet family, the most wonderful friends and the best job i could ever ask for.  it is all of the wonderful families i have worked with that make my work so fulfilling.  i truly love my job and it is the sweet little faces i get to see in my own house and at your homes that constantly keep me smiling.  thank you to all of my clients for giving me the opportunity to come into your homes and take photos for you.  i am honored to capture memories you will hold onto for a lifetime.  i hope you all have a blessed holiday with your families and i look so forward to seeing all of you and meeting many more wonderful new families in 2010.  

happy birthday to you.  happy birthday to you…happy birthday dear, kellen…happy birthday to you!  i cannot believe you are already one!  carrie and matt so nice to see you and sweet kellen!  :)

beautiful julia (10 days) is a sweet little angel.  we thought she might have a little tummy ache the day we took photos, but she still posed beautifully for us and put up with me moving her all around.  sweet baby girl…i loved meeting her mom and dad and enjoyed chatting so much.  :)  katie and adam, thank you so much.  julia is precious.

sweet babies claire and benjamin were 7 weeks during their photos.  as i always say, parents of twins AMAZE me. once we got these two sleeping at the same time, my camera was on a mission.  and, as you will see in the last photo, i think little claire was even having fun!  ha!  :)  oh, and one hilarious memory from my shoot…grandpa was overseeing the picture taking and he had left the room for a minute.  when he came back in, we had switched babies and i was putting a bow on claire’s  head.  i looked over at him and he had the funniest look on his face.  later, he confessed that he thought it was ben that was still being photographed and he was a little confused as to why i was putting a bow in his grandson’s hair!  i love it!  :)  it was so fun to meet you all and i am excited to watch these two grow!
