I expected the holiday season to slow down for me as a photographer. I couldn't have been more wrong! So far this month I have been ridiculously busy with real estate photography and I am very thankful for that! However, the really fun stuff is portraits! I ran my very first "Holiday Special" and did a couple of mini sessions that day. I had so much fun working with these families!

The Hatton family was an absolute joy.

These three boys were busy, but cooperative and very well behaved.

The next mini session consisted of my Aunt and Uncle and their clan of kids and grandkids. What fun! It's always a treat to see the Garners and this day was no exception.

These girls LOVE their Grandma and Granddad!

Savannah is very skilled at pulling Granddad's hair.

Yesterday I got to take photos of some more super adorable kids! Meet Emory and Brodie Goodpastor!

It started out with the challenge of getting them both to look at the camera AND smile at the same time.

But once they warmed up a little, things got really fun!

Near the end of the shoot, Emory was pretty tired of me telling her what to do and started "calling the shots" herself. Here are a few of her chosen poses....

I want to thank all of these families for trusting me to preserve your precious memories. I had so much fun and I hope we can do it again soon!
