HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sigh......this is what it's going to look like around here for a while. We have a lot of snow this year, relatively speaking. (We've been spoiled by a few almost-snowless winters.) I don't know if it's entirely accurate, but I've heard that we got more snow in December than we had all last year. If that's not correct, it must be pretty close! We seem to have a storm every couple of days. In fact, there's a storm cranking up as I type this.

Snow is pretty, though, if you don't have to travel in it. By car, that is. I've got some snowshoes calling....

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Taking a walk with Santa - how cool is that?!??

That magical time of year is here again! I know the kids think it takes forever, but to me, it seems as if we just finished last year's holiday season. I have to admit, though, I still get excited about it every year, and there's no more fun than celebrating the holiday with a child.

I hope you and yours have the most wonderful holiday ever!

OH, SANTA....

You won't believe how good I've been this year!

Let's not forget our furry friends this year. They love us, no matter how bad we are (and WE still get presents!). They listen like we're the most fascinating conversationalist ever. They never disagree with us, and they're always up for a run. Or a nap. Whatever we decide. True friends....cherish them always!

FRIENDS

What a good time I had with this session! As I mentioned before, I love working with this age. They're young enough so they don't feel the weight of the world like older kids do, and they can choose their extracurricular activities based on what they like, rather than on what is going to look good on their college application. Here are couple of photographs from a session earlier this week:

And a more serious, wistful expression:

I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of them. Thanks, kids, for being such wonderful subjects!

PLANNING AHEAD

I know. It's not even Halloween yet. But I walked into the mall a couple of weeks ago, and found myself walking by displays with artificial fir trees, decorated with glitter and all the trappings of a season that's not even here yet. So I decided I'd better get on the ball and gear up for the inevitable. I am again offering holiday cards this year. With the purchase of cards, my clients will be entitled to a complimentary 5 x 7 of the image on the card.
Custom designed cards are unique and distinctive. These are the cards that recipients keep, instead of tossing them come the New Year. There are a number of designs available, some with more than one image (for those large families).
This is a great time of year to have that family portrait created, just in time to use it on a holiday card! You can contact me by email, or click on my website link at the right and check out the "What's New" page.
