Santa gave to us: 33 hours of driving, 2,000 miles, 8 traveled-through states, 5 traffic jams, 6 road constructions, 2 tired parents, 2 relieved kiddos, 164 relatives, 194,857 Christmas presents, 3 much-needed gift receipts (wink), 1 spotty internet connection, 2 days of baking (and laughing uncontrollably) with the “girls”, 7-degree weather in Kentucky, 1 bout...

Okay… so I’m a bit late. But I have a very good reason…. I was finishing designing my Christmas cards. Which will most likely be mailed out to y’all from either Kentucky or North Carolina… or some random town in between here and there! I’ll be addressing from the road this year, so I’m warning...

I’m getting ready to ship out hundreds of my clients’ Christmas cards to them, which have arrived from my lab this week.

Dearest Coco,
Oh how I adore you. Thank you for being so sleepy and wonderful and squishy and bendy for our session. You were a treat to photograph, as were your beautiful parents. In your beautiful house.
Give your wonderful, adoring family a big HUG from me for being so well-prepared for our little session...

So many families of girls I’ve photographed recently! This shoot was 100% boy, however. Trains (both Thomas and the authentic variety), soccer in the backyard, crazy animal sounds, lots of snuggling with Mama and Daddy, and laughs by the barrel-full. See for yourself…
I think they were pretending to be tigers here. ;) LOVE that Mom...

My parents flew into town on Friday to visit us, and to see how much the kids have grown. Gosh, what a shock they got when they saw how monstrous Lila’s chunky thighs are, lol! Ahh, she’s such a good eater. :) Anyhow, we visited, laughed, played, loved, and cried. For three days. And Parker...

Hurray, it’s toy-catalog and toy-commercial season again!! Aren’t you so glad? ;) Is your mailbox threatening to tip over from the added weight of the bulk mail alone? The catalogs from companies you haven’t heard from since last Christmas? Have your children suddenly become little zombies who point and sputter “I want that!!!” after every...
