I cannot believe that little *E* is ONE already!

He is one of the miracle babies we prayed for and I just adore his little face!

The best Christmas present EVER!

The day after our session – Melanie and her little family said goodbye to their puppy Oakley. I’m so happy we were able to get some pictures with her!

LOVE THOSE ONES!

Santa BABY!

*E* – I know you are too little to remember her much – but Oakley LOVED you! I can’t wait to see you with your new puppy in a few months!

Sweetest boy!

My favorite shots of the day!

*E* – I just love you so much and am so happy you are here! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET ONE!

I went to high school and college with Casey!

I’ve been praying for her and her hubbie to be blessed with a sweet one. She was WELL worth the wait!

What a PRECIOUS bundle of Christmas joy!

Look at that sweet smile!

Hannah – you are loved!

Casey & Dan – thanks SO much for asking me to photograph your miracle!

Cody & Missy have become great friends of ours! Their little guy *A* was the first of 5 babies (to be born) that we prayed for last year!

I can’t believe he is ONE already!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

OH SWEET BOY!

We love you guys SO MUCH!

Adrianne and I were great friends in high school – we’ve stayed in touch through FACEBOOK and I took her engagement pictures two years ago – September 3rd to be exact! It was the day I found out I was pregnant with Fitzy!

She and her hubbie have a little sweetie of their own now!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE those pictures!

OH MY WORD!

I cannot even deal with the cuteness in those photos!

Adrianne – I had such a great time with you guys! Can’t wait to watch AJ grow! She is SO cute!

As I write this – Fitzy is 20 months! CRAZINESS!

I took these the week after thanksgiving to mark his 19th month!

I am so happy to call you mine – while God lends you to me!

This family holds a special place in my heart! I’ve known them since little *E * was in his momma’s belly! I’ve photographed them at least once every 6 months since then (usually every 3 months) and it’s gonna start all over again with a new baby on the way!

Dustin is serving our country and won’t be home for Christmas – so they celebrated over Thanksgiving.

I am so BLESSED to be capturing this year for you while Dustin is serving! It’s bittersweet for sure – but I’m glad you’ll be in front of my lens so often!

Over Thanksgiving I held mini-session openings at my parents. While the mini-sessions were a giant flop – ONE beautiful family got some great photos!

OH MY GOODNESS!

That picture of little *C* is one of my favorite shots EVER!

We brought little *L* inside for some quick shots!

BEAUTIFUL!

Thank you guys SO much for coming out in the snow and cold! Can’t wait to see you again!

I LOVE this family! I’ve been photographing them since Lauren was pregnant with little *L*!

GORGEOUS!

He reminds me SO much of Fitzy – except for those amazing blue eyes!

Thanks SO much for asking me to capture your memories!

We spent the week with my parents for Thanksgiving and since my parents are visiting my brother for Christmas – we opened our gifts then!

He LOVES his ornament from Samm!

He loves this puzzle too! We put it together at least 10 times a day!

He is such a little chef! We call him Remy!

I got these ornaments for my brother-in-law – Xavier. When he was little his parents told him that the mice were helpers for Santa. He would stare at them for hours – willing them to come to life. It’s one of his fondest memories! He was so excited to see them again!

I made this Simba for my nephew Judah – I LOVE IT!

I made this nesting doll for my niece Rowyn!

And a rooster for Fitzy!

This owl for my friend Stephanie and her new baby boy was the inspiration for all the little sewing projects!

I am so thankful for our amazing families! I’ll post later about our Christmas with Jared’s parents!

Fitzy has beautiful blonde hair – curly hair! Unfortunately it’s a hot mess most of the time!

Samm cut it over Thanksgiving for me – just a teeny trim!

LOOK AT THOSE FRIZZY CURLS!

I kept one little strand!

He does indeed cry – I assure you. He loves getting a bath but HATES having his hair washed!

He looks like such a little man now!
