I just wanted to thank everyone who may read this for your support this year, I feel so blessed to have the honor of photographing your loved ones. Thank you for sharing your family and memories with me. With my fall season fully booked and added craziness of the holidays my blog sadly takes a back seat, I plan to catch ya up these coming weeks with all the fun that was going on 
I wish you a very happy holiday season and an amazing 2010!
My baby girl is growing up. It KILLS me that she is turning four this year! But as much as I loved her baby rolls, her soft pudgy feet, watching her miraculously balance on those chunky legs and take her first steps, I have to admit that I’m enjoying this stage too. She never fails to amaze me… the things that come out of her mouth!!! The “mini mommy” attitude she tries to pull on her little brother, the way she has become so very convincing when she wants to stay up at night “just 3 more seconds”- I so enjoy our time together as I feel like my role in her life is changing as much as she is. She doesn’t need me like she used to, not for diaper changes and feedings, but more for assurance and guidance. I realized my influence on her when I picked her up from school this week and as usual she did not want to go home yet, and what was her reply when I asked her where she’d like to go?? ”Target”!!! She knows my weakness- how can I say “no” to that!! and the funny thing is that I think she likes walking the aisle looking at all the stuff and chatting with her mommy even more than the stickers she gets to go home with.
I hope everyone has a very happy Valentine’s day! and I’ll leave with this little piece of wisdom from the mouth of a 3 year old…
as Avery and I were in the car driving home one night, she spotted a house with Christmas lights up… yes… this happened this month. She of course is “Look mommy!!!! They still have their Christmas lights up!!!” then she thinks for a minute and says “they must not have gotten their presents yet.” So Santa… PLEASE bring those poor people their presents already so they can take down their lights 
So what happened to December? Is it just me or has this month just flown by!! I truly didn’t mean to take a month off of blogging… but it happened. Why does time go by so fast now that I’m older? Don’t you remember being in school feeling like a moment would never come- summer took forever to get here!! Now I blink and another year is gone… my baby girl will turn FOUR in 2009… FOUR!! how did this happen!! Anyways, back on track… I really just wanted to say Merry Christmas to my three readers I hope that everyone has a magical holiday season. Coming soon will be a TON of images that I have to catch you up on… some of my favorites ever!! So I’m off to wait for Santa to bring to presents to my kiddos… talk about magical. Merry Christmas!!!
Lousiana that is… I’m getting ready to leave tomorrow on a trip with these amazing photographers:
They were kind enough to invite me to tag along for a work week in the life of Maura and Bruce… I’m so excited to learn from such amazing artists. I will admit I’m a tad bit anxious about leaving my kids for a week… it’s not that I’m nervous about their well-being because Patrick is an amazing Dad. Is there such thing as separation anxiety for moms ?!?
So I’m not sure what my access to internet will be- so this may be it until next week… when I’ll have a tonof images to catch you up on!
So this has been my absolute favorite fall session thus far… sorry… it’s my own kids- they trump all other images in my eyes because they are my own
So we started out on the playground… I loved the light behind Weston on the slide
my sweet smiling daughter Avery
this may be my most favorite picture of Weston ever
and then we went on a hike where Avery made a huge collection of yellow leaves
See ya when I get back!
