So I know this post has very little to do with Merlin the dog - but this dog deserves the title post.  When you see his photo you'll understand!  When Carol contacted me for photos I was super excited - but also a little intimidated - there were 2 adults, 3 kids, and 2 1/2 dogs (there I go with Merlin again!)  The results couldn't have been better - and it was so hard to narrow down to these images for the teaser!

I could not wait to get home today to start editing a sneak peak from this session!  Today's session was one that I have waited for since I began shooting newborns.  I've always admired other newborn photographers who seem to be able to get the babies to do so many cute things - they sleep, they smile, and most of all they don't cry!  Although I've been pretty fortunate in the crying part - I've had less luck in the posing.  Little K was such a good girl today.  She fell asleep almost instantly and was out like a light and let us do pretty much anything we could think of with her.   K's mom Mary Louise was the winner of my newborn package from the Birth Choices Baby Shower.  I didn't know it at first but we actually have a close mutual friend.  I am so glad I got the chance to shoot for them today - its gave me a greater appreciation for these types of shoots!

When Shelly contacted me back in November for some snow photos I was really excited.  I knew Shelly from back in high school and I knew that she had a beautiful little girl Maia. After having to reschedule 2 times due to weather we finally got together this afternoon before the storm moved it.  I believe it was well worth the wait!  Maia was a natural - she defiantly stole the show!  I loved Shelly's idea of starting in the library before we ventured outside to get some snow shots.  I had such a great time working with the three of them today and I can't wait to get back to editing the rest of their session - but I just had to leave a few images here for them to see!

We'll here we are - the day we call Christmas Eve.  What a wonderful year 2008 has been.  I have alot to be thankful for - wonderful friends, a beautiful family, and being blessed with finding my true passion - photography.  It is not without all of your kind works and inspiration that this has all happened.  I would like to take this time to wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.  I am taking a bit of a break from Christmas day until the end of January to get caught up on some much needed rest and business paperwork.  Stay tuned - I will still be updating the blog with some sessions I have yet to post - and have a lot in store for 2009.  Stay tuned before the end of the year for an amazing contest announcement that could win you or someone dear to you a great gift!  See you all in 2009. Leslie I know I've previously posted this image - but to me it really represents Christmas - so I had to post it again!  

Okay last session before Christmas I promise!  LOL! I had a great time this morning with this little princess - she was so good to us - and allowed us to do some really great things with her.  I hope you enjoy these as much as i enjoyed shooting them!
