I’m feeling a little weepy after viewing this…

I’m so proud to be a Mom and a photographer and I’m lucky to be able to do both!

Happy new year to everyone! I’m just realizing how neglected my little blog has been. I’ve been a busy little elf over the past few weeks. Lots of cards, canvas’ and print orders have been sent out of my workshop for the holiday. I’m wrapping up 2009 orders now and then, as usual, will take a little break to recharge the creative battery!

I don’t get a chance to blog about every session but I wanted to back up the bus and blog about this session that I had in November. I was grateful to get some outside sessions done before the last of the leaves fell. I am in love with this family! They were so super cute and if I had a big brother I would pick this little guy! He was so good to his little brother! I hope everyone has a happy and healthy new year!!

I’ve been photographing lots of multiples lately so I feel like I’m seeing double! These identical twin girls couldn’t have been more darling! They are so beautiful and pure. I know how thankful this family is this thanksgiving as am I that I was able to work with them. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

Today is my baby boy’s 6^th birthday! He lost his first tooth last month and it was just another reminder that his babyhood is slipping away. Now more than ever I am appreciating my own photography. I was looking back at his sweet baby pictures. He was such a little cherub. It’s scary how you do forget what they looked like. When they’re babies you think that there is no way you could forget, but you do. The photographs bring it all back.

I’m so lucky to have this little guy. He’s funny, smart and kind (not always to his sister but you know how THAT goes). He is everything I could have hoped for in a child. My prayer is still the same for him today as it was the day he was born…please keep this child happy, healthy and safe and may he contribute something positive to this world. That’s all any mother can hope for.

This was my first time photographing this baby girl. The following week the family moved to Canada! Maybe I’ll see them again on one of their Cleveland vacations. I hope so! You just can’t help but smile when you look at these pictures. Admit it, you’re smiling!
