Christmas is coming!

It’s crazy to think that the crazy holiday season is sneaking up on us!  I know most people probably haven’t even started thinking about it yet!  If you’re interested in doing a session for Christmas cards or gifts the deadline for the session is November 3rd.  The deadline for orders (Christmas cards or prints for gifts) for Christmas is December 5th (book orders will need to be in by Thanksgiving).  If you’re interested in gifts for another holiday please contact me.

And because no post is complete without a picture, here are a couple of shots of my cousin’s cute kids!

Ramirez Family

I got to meet up with the Ramirez family at Hermann Park not too long ago and photograph a couple of darling little boys!  “E” here is 5 months and soooo chubby.   Love it!

Big brother “A” had to warm up to the idea of taking pictures, but he sure didn’t complain when we started a round of swinging!  He has the most adorable smile!

See?  Isn’t he adorable?  And those curls…oh how I love dark curls.

Happy Birthday Cade!

The boy who made me an aunt 10 years ago hit the double digits today!  I have so many memories of this guy.  The first time I ever felt him kick (in-utero, of course), my sister leaned over me while we were sharing a bed and he kicked me in the bum!  When he was born I went around telling all my friends in high school that I was an aunt.  I couldn’t have been happier and he couldn’t have been more perfect.  I even vividly remember taking care of him overnight when he was around 6 months old; I woke up frequently to make sure he was still sleeping on his back and breathing!

Cade, I can’t believe you’re growing up so fast.  You’re the coolest 10-year-old I know (and the sweetest, best at sports, and most definitely the most handsome).  Happy Birthday!!!

L Family

I photographed my oldest sister’s family back in October in Minnesota and not even the rest of my family ever saw these pics!  Here ya go, family.

We got this little stool for this shoot and I’m so glad we did!  Max thought he couldn’t get off it since his feet didn’t touch the ground, so it was the only way to get pictures of him by himself.

At the time, this Buzz Lightyear doll was his favorite thing in the world.

Swords are his other favorite thing (and don’t even get him started on basketball).

Ty is getting so big.  I’m going to be in complete denial when he starts dating (which will hopefully be when he’s 25 as he’s totally oblivious to girls at the moment).  I wish I had pictures of him as a baby online, but that was back when I shot all film!

Doesn’t Tessa look sweet?  Don’t let her fool you ;).

Dang, the kids in my family have some blue eyes!!

I got to spend Christmas in Minnesota building snow tunnels and it looked a bit different than it did in October :).  I officially love Minnesota and can’t wait to go back!
