Ellie

One of my favorite parts of Christmas this year was spending time with Ellie, my cousin's daughter. She is so stinking adorable and is just the happiest little thing! We got to take some 4 month pictures of her. I wish I could photograph her every month! She is growing too quickly. The pictures with the red hat are some of my favorites. I can't wait to see her again. She is such a joy. I love her!

Vivian

I think it is safe to say that this family is over the moon with their new little girl, Vivian! Even the big brothers glow when they hold her! I was totally having fun with the girly accessories she had - so so cute!! I am so glad I got to meet this family and that they let me capture their new bundle of pink! She is gorgeous and was a photographer's dream! I hope they treasure these pictures for years to come.

Emma Paige's 2nd Annual Sugar Plum Gala

What a blessing to celebrate brave little Emma for 2 years in a row!! This little trooper deserves more than we could offer in just this one night, but it sure was a good time! No doubt about it - she is very much loved! Lots of people came out for the special event and to support their friend. The pictures taken at the event are online! Enjoy reminiscing by browsing through the online gallery. Details to purchase images are at the end of the gallery. Happy Holidays! Online Gallery: http://jalbum.net/a/1096043/

Dawsyn - a little Christmas Cutie

Well those darn teeth sure gave us a good fight for the smiles! Poor baby girl was not feeling too hot due to the teeth - hints the sucking on her lips! haha However, I think these came out beautiful!! She is such a little doll and she was dressed so adorable - smiles or no smiles - she is cute! Maybe by her 1 year pictures, she'll be showing off those hard earned teeth!

My best friend is getting married!!

My best friend, Adriane, and I decided we would go out with Josh and Craig to get Christmas pictures taken of each other just like we did last year. Well Craig had a little plan of his own. He approached me about a month ago and told me that he wanted to propose in the middle of our Christmas picture session and let me capture it all on camera! What a genius idea!! How was I going to keep this huge secret from my best friend for weeks!? I avoided her like the plague! I was so excited and nervous - even having dreams about the proposal! We walked around downtown just having a fun, usual time. Craig and I had planned out the spot and even the "code word". As they walked to the 'spot' for a 'picture' he got down on one knee! Her reaction was everything I hoped it would be! She was so surprised and beyond thrilled! Everything worked out so beautifully - the ring, the weather, the emotions, the pictures... everything was just perfect! These are some of my favorite pictures ever! Ever girl wants pictures of the proposal, but how many actually get the REAL thing? This was no reenactment. They can treasure these pictures and this moment forever. What a gift to give my best friend. But it was a blessing for me to get to share that happy day with her. I'm still on cloud 9 just thinking about yesterday. Way to go Craig! You never fail to make my girl happy. I love you both!
