Santa Mini-Sessions 2011 Kaylee & Connor | Southern Tennessee Child Photographer

Next up is two of my favorite kiddos.  Kaylee and Connor.

Connor had grown so much since his 6-month session this summer.  You never know about this age, but he wasn't frightened at all by Santa.

In fact, he was very curious.  Yes, it is real!

This was one of my favorites of the day.

Kaylee wasn't too sure about Santa in the beginning.  She did tell him that she would like for him to bring her a cash register.  She told him the most important thing of all.  That her mommy would like some jewelry!  I never thought about trying that!

Before she left she came back to give Santa a big hug.

Kaylee, I hope you get that cash register you're hoping for.  I bet Santa remembers your mommy, too!

Next to visit Santa were Molly and Stewart's classmates and friends, Jackie and Nathan. 

Jackie was so pretty in her new dress. She was surprised when Santa called her by name!

Nathan asked Santa if he was the "real" Santa.  A tug on his beard was proof enough I do believe.

Just a few without Santa.

Saying good-bye.

I'm so glad I got to share in their visit with Santa this year.  Hope you two get everything on your list!

Santa Mini-Sessions 2011 Charli Ann & Josi | Middle Tennessee Child Photographer

Oh what fun Santa mini-sessions were! I am so glad I decided to do these this year!  What a treat it was to get to see all the little ones visit Santa with their lists.  They were all so precious.  I have several to share, so I am planning to post one per day.

Charli Ann and Josi were the first to visit Santa at the barn this year.

I just love these girls.  They are simply precious.  

Charli Ann giving Santa a big hug.  Love it!

I just love this one of Josi whispering in Santa's ear. 

Their mom had asked if it would be ok to bring their dog, Molly.  I said of course!  Santa brings goodies to puppies, too!

After the girls had spent plenty of time with Santa, we did a few of just them.

And just a candid one of the girls playing with Molly.

Oh what fun we had that day.  This was just the beginning!  Check back tomorrow for another Santa session.

The Dixon Family - Fall Mini-sessions | Southern Middle Tennessee Family Photographer

Another one of my favorite familes.  We have become great friends over the past few years. 

 We probably first met with our children being involved int he same activities.  Plus the children's consignment sale I host with a friend twice each year. I've taken their photos many times. 

Alex and Andrew.  I just love these little guys.  They both have a special spot in my heart. 

It's funny that Dawn and I went to school together (she was a year or two behind me), but we didn't even know each other then.  Dawn and I started running together this year as she was training for her first half marathon.  We try to run together three times a week.  I'm so thankful for her to hold me accountable! 

I haven't talked much about, Russ, but he's a pretty good guy, too. :-)

In case you were wondering about this new spot I used for fall  mini-sessions, it is literally the side of my yard.  These huge rocks are ones that were moved when we had the basement dug for our house.  This was the perfect spot for fall photos.  I don't know why I had never realized that before!
