Rachel, Caleb & Kate - Christmas Mini-session.

Meet Rachel, Caleb and Kate.  

Their mom, Becca, and I went to school together from Elementary through high school.  I was so excited when Becca schedule a Christmas mini-session. I knew she would have adorable coordinating outfits for her trio.

I think this is my favorite of Miss Rachel.

Caleb.  Can't you just see the mischievousness in his eyes?! ;-)

 And Miss Kate.  Oh such a cutie!  Thos big blue eyes!

And I just love this one.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way Kate has her mouth open while Caleb is taking a bite.  Sooooo cute!

Rachel helped me out on the card design and I so wish I could share it with you, but I know Becca is working on getting their cards in the mail.  I certainly don't want to ruin the surprise! ;-)

Spreading Holiday Cheer.

I was in the office before 5:30 this morning.  So much to get done today.  Yesterday UPS delivered three big boxes full of prints and Christmas cards! Today I am busy sorting and packaging up orders to go out. 

Yesterday I picked up my new bags! I can't wait to deliver all the goodies to my clients in these! My buddies at NDesigns did an awesome job on them!

Here's a little peak at a little extra gift for my Christmas mini-session clients. Something to make their holidays packages a little more personal.

And a little peak at one of the many cards I have designed this year.  My clients are originals and so are their cards! All my cards are created especially for them.  No two are the same! 

So now I've got to get busy! After a run for more ribbon and a print cartridge I have a lot more holiday cheer to spread!

Christmas Mini-Sessions - Ben, Holt & Amelia Kate

If it seems I am posting a lot of Christmas sessions all at once it is because I am! LOL! I have been so busy editing and designing Christmas cards this past week that I have not taken the time to update my blog.  I am happy to say that I have all my Christmas mini-sessions edited, cards designed and even ordered with the exception of one that I am waiting final approval on. Woohoo!  I do still have several more regular sessions to get edited, but the ones that included Christmas card pachkages for Christmas are done. 

So let's get on to the photos! That's what you're all here to see anyway! :-)

You might also remember this trio from my mini-sessions last Christmas. If not, let me introduce Ben, Holt and Amelia Kate.

Handsome Ben. 

Cutie Pie Holt. (I bet he doesn't like me calling him that but he is!)

Sweet Amelia Kate. 

Don't let Amelia Kate's sweet looks fool you.  She is an awesome athlete.  She had played soccer earlier that morning and scored several goals for her team!  All the while wearing her trademark bow.  You will never see this girl without her bow! Love it!

These three are true siblings.  They were giving each other a hard time the entire time! Especially the boys!

I have a feeling Amelia Kate can hold her own. :-)

They were on the way to their Little cousin's birthday party.  You will meet Porter in a later post. I'm glad they were able to squeeze a session in their busy day! Thanks guys for being good sports!

Christmas Mini-Sessions - The F Family.

You might remember this family from earlier this summer. I am so glad they chose to schedule a Christmas mini-session. 

I was so happy to get to see my buddy Will again.  He kills me with his "Cheese and Crackers!".  :-)

You can tell that he absolutely adores his big sister Emma.  She is such a natural beauty.

I love this sweet moment between the two of them.

 Another favorite family shot.

 And the card not chosen.... That just means the one they did pick is even better!

Thanks for coming out guys! It's always fun getting together with y'all!

Christmas Mini-Sessions - Sawyer, Kennedy & Jacob.

Some more of my favorite kiddos.  If you've seen much of my work in the past you probably remember this trio. :-)

So I thought the candycanes would be a lot of fun. 

Sawyer with his heart...

Kennedy with her heart...

 

And Jacob with his... Well, Jacob had other plans for his candy cane!

Oh how I wish I could share their Christmas card with you! It is so cute! I will tell you that it uses the previous three photos.  Maybe I can share it after the hoolidays.  :-)

This was their mom's favorite.

And in the end we got mom in a few shots.

Shannon is such a sweetheart.  We didn't have the whole family there for a family portrait, but I am so glad we got these of Shannon with the kids.  As a mom myself, I love these.  Every mom needs photos of herself with her kids.  Both she and her children will treasure these in the years  to come.

Thanks for making the drive to see me! It was so good to see you! Miss you!
