This poor blog. It's been so neglected lately. I've had so many sessions recently and so little time to share them with you all! So today, I am attempting to catch you up somewhat with some recent client sessions, plus a little of my everyday life-stuff. In no particular order!!
First up, meet Tyler. His daddy called me wanting a session that captured WHO Tyler was, not just what he looked like in this sweet little toddler phase. Ahh, music to my ears.....
We headed to one of my favorite parks to play. (You'll see this park in a lot of my upcoming posts too... it has been a very popular location request lately!)
One of my favorites... Daddy is learning to play guitar, and he might just have a little protege on his hands! ;)
I was even able to sit down with a few of the kids and have some quickie-shoots. My favorite part of the day!! Take a peek....
And lastly, my own disco babies! :) My husband brought our kids so they could enjoy the festivities too! Parker had a blast, as you can see below.... and Lila, well, Lila was a little sleepy (aka needing her Mama). And since Mama had to work, we compromised. I can't tell you how much I adore 
Parents, your slideshow gallery of the day will be posted to my site in just a couple of days. Those of you who provided your email address will receive an alert from me when the gallery goes live.... the rest of the parents in attendance, just check the blog here in a couple of days for your link. For now, enjoy the preview!
I have always loved the soft light in her room. It makes for such dramatic black and whites... right up my alley, you know!!! ;)
Such a fun way to end the day. Although their Baby Plan has ended, I hope I get to photograph this little gal and her adoring parents for years to come.
Intern, really, since I'm not paying her. She's a little bossy and demanding for her first few days on the job, but I think she'll work out just fine. ;) I've already got her answering emails for me, and I'll be teaching her all about Photoshop tomorrow.
She takes several lunch breaks, too many potty breaks (both of which require help from her, ahem, manager, of course), and even falls asleep on the job. Good thing she's cute, otherwise I may have already had to fire her. :)
Lila has actually been sick for the past few days. (Which is why she's been at my desk with me! Sick babies need their Mamas, don't they?) I believe she's got a tooth (or three) getting ready to burst through. Love her heart, she's miserable! Fever, tears, swollen gums and no interest in food -- that last one was my first red flag, LOL! (This girl loves to eat, as you can tell from these images.) So, anyhow, Lila has been either on my hip, in the sling, or my lap for the past 36+ consecutive hours. All the while crying and whimpering and burying her sweet little head into my shoulder. All I know is, thank goodness for Tylenol and teething tablets. And those frozen foods and numerous cold things to chew on! 
So my apologies if you've received a strange email from me (or, um, my rogue assistant) or received an email from me in lieu of a phone call. Chances are, my child was screaming in the background and I was trying to spare you the trauma. ;) I've got a few galleries that are set to go up in the next couple of days, so I had better get back to finishing those up. Before my assistant tries to pull the midnight shift with me again. LOL!
Anyhow. WELCOME to the Florida portion of the 
I just noticed that all the Sesame Street characters seem to be mooning us. That silly Parker. Not a one is facing out! LOL!
All stages of his four little years here on this Earth so far, including the many phases boys go through: Sesame Street (this phase was way too long for my taste and tolerance, I might add), trains (which was way too short for the amount of money I spent on Thomas and Friends), Charlie Brown (a constant favorite!), all kinds of cars and fire trucks, and the Florida Gators. (Since he was actually born here in Florida, he insists that he is an "Alligator Fan". Chomp.) Even Darth Vader is represented on this tree in all his Christmas cheer. ;)
And yeah, I know, you've probably already seen these shots of our main tree (MY TREE, the one that has to be "pretty"), but I like it... so you're going to see it again! :D
I'm in love with mercury glass this year! Love it.
Our New and Unmatching stocking this year. Poor Lila. I had to make it especially girly for her, it was the least I could do. :) The rest of our stockings are cream wool, with jingle bells and our names embroidered on them. Maybe next year we'll be a matching set again!
They're handbag hooks, similar to 
Can you just see the Visions of Sugarplums dancing over his little sleepy head? :) Oh, I turn into mush looking at my sleeping babies..... especially when they're wearing Monster Jammies.
Okay... that's it for now, but I'll be back tomorrow with more photos and more hall-decking! Hope you enjoyed your tour!
