I spent the most delightful morning at their house a few weeks back. Her session was all things sweet and simple and easy and cuddly. In proofing her pictures, my gosh, she reminded me SO much of my daughter as a newborn (her room even has owls, too!). I'm very much looking forward to seeing how this little cutie grows up over the years.

While working on their holiday card design today, I realized I had promised a part 2 to this post. There were definitely too many fav images to tell their story in just one post. So here you go!!!

[Note: If you book a 2012 family photo session now, you can still qualify for a holiday mini session. But you should probably hurry because I only have a few openings left. Also, if you had a session with me this year and you wanted to order holiday cards, please contact me THIS week! I won't be able to process holiday card orders any later than that.] 

Sigh. This seems like forever ago. In a way, it kinda was. It was the this summer before she began her senior year in high school. I remember it was sooooooo hot that day and we were so relieved to have the chance to get into the water at the end of the session. She laid down in that grass for me and I can tell you, it wasn't comfortable in the slightest. She was a lovely girl and I feel so lucky to have gotten to capture this time for her. 

In a good way and I get to walk by it every day. I.love.this.image of my littles.

I told mom tonight that my face literally hurt when I was editing these pics...I couldn't stop smiling!!! These people make me happy. Their energy, enthusiasm, and zest for life is contagious, I swear. This has to be my favorite session with them to date, but it's hard to commit 100% (remember this? Of course, I can't for the life of me locate his newborn blog post, but that was a blast, too.) Doesn't matter.  What does matter is that they've got a fantastic family connection and a bazillion pictures to preserve those memories forever.

Speaking of, if you want to preserve your memories in 2012, there's a little bonus incentive to book your session NOW. Running out of spaces much faster than I thought...
