Merry Christmas!

This will most likely be my last post of the year. I just wanted to take the time to thank all of my customers and loyal blog readers for a great year. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.
p.s. I have plans for some new and wonderful things in 2009. This first thing will be a post on this blog directing you to a new and improved blog website. I can't wait.

The last session of the year... Christmas Baby

I hope these previews will hold Mom and Dad over until after Christmas. Look at this little peanut, how sweet!

Last baby plan session of the year

All of "my" babies have been growing strong this year. I love having them back every few months and seeing thier progress. This little guy was on the move! His one year session should be a blast! I am keeping my baby plan as it is for 2009, so if anyone is interested in signing up give me a call. I will be adding a new plan that will go beyond the first year. The details will be announced in 2009.

Wrapping up 2008

Here are a few from one of the last sessions I have had this year. Two more to get done in 08... previews for those coming shortly.

Got My Toes

One of the "milestones" that parents get excited about is when their child discovers their feet. At about 6 months this is usually happening. Parents get so excited about this milestone and both the parents and I love to capture it during our portrait sessions. This little guy is by far the best toe eater I have had, he literally had both feet in his mouth at times. We got a big photo series of this as he was just having a good old time chewing on his toes.





Here are some other adorable shots that we got.

Some more friends

We had some more friends come in for a family portrait.
This is Kyndal's little friend Emma. We love you Emma!


And with her Mommy and Daddy...

Another newborn - Smyrna TN

This little guy had such an expressive face. We got so many different expressions, this one makes me laugh!

Newborn Session Chattanooga

This session was from a while ago in Chattanooga. We did a combo of studio type shots as well as some environmental. I thought I would share some nursery images of this little one, I loved her ladybug nursery.



Daddy is a police officer and this little one had quite a collection started of pig stuffed animals, someone has a sense of humor!

Kyndal's Friends

Some of my Mom's Group friends booked fall sessions with me as a part of my Operation Smile event. I shared their images in an earlier post, but I thought Kyndal's little friends deserved a post all their own. I got a few individual pictures of each child during my fall mini sessions.

So here they are...

Lively Lola

Lovely Lilly Kate

Kindhearted Katie

Joyful Jonah
Kyndal loves all of her friends very much and I do too, thanks guys!

Serious Girls

These two gals came to me for some Holiday pictures. I did get smiles from each of them, most of which did not occur while sitting in my set. I however love the serious looks that they gave me.

Happy Boys

I have been super busy and I haven't been posting previews, so here are a few showcases of images. The first one is a couple of Happy Boys!

You will remember J from a few posts back. He came back to do some studio pictures since the park was a little cold on the day we chose. We did get some awesome serious shots in the park that day, but he saved the smiles for the studio day!



Baby W is a new addition to my Baby Club. I saw him last as a newborn. He was certainly a happy boy this day too.


I know you can't see is face in thise one, but I am in love with this image.

Holiday Open House - Tonight!!!

Just a reminder about the Holiday Open House tonight from 6-9 at the Smyrna Church of the Nazarene. I will have some samples of my Jewelry & Gifts line there for you to take a look at in person. I will be also having a drawing if you stop by my booth, as well as some incentives if you book a studio session with me in January or February at the open house. See the previous blog post to see all of the businesses that will be there.

Operation Smile - Total

Thanks to everyone for supporting my very first charity event! It is great to be able to give back in this way. All small business owners should try to give where they can, actually everyone should! With YOUR Help, I have raised $474.90 for Operation Smile! I am making this an even $500! This pays for 2 surgeries for children born with facial deformities to give them a smile. That should make all of you smile, I know it makes me smile.

I sold 15 Smile Collages to help get to this amount. Yes I am still working on many of those, so bear with me please. Thanks for making this a success!

The cutest little Bee...

I saw many adorable kids at our Trunk Or Treat event at our church. Thanks to everyone that came out to see us! However, isn't this the cutest Bee EVER! I am sure you know who she is by now.

Trunk or Treat

Are you looking for a safe alternative to Trick Or Treating this year?

We are having a Trunk-or-treat event at my church where you trick-or-treat from trunk to truck each one decorated with a different theme. There will be lots of other stuff (see below) and we are decorating and handing out candy from our trunk too.

Also as a last minute decision I will have a set-up there for the kids to have their pictures taken in their Halloween costumes!

Gorgeous Families

My fall mini sessions were a success! I am happy to announce that I have earned enough money to pay for at least one smile for a child for the Operation Smile charity event. I will have a total soon! There is still time to order a Smile collage, but only a few more days! The offer expires on October 31st.

So here are some pictures of the Gorgeous Families that came to get their fall family portraits done. Although we did not have very much fall color, we did have some great locations to work with regardless.

Enjoy!
