I've figured out that the crazy factor of my week is directly proportional to how disgusting my vehicle is.  There might be crushed goldfish in the carpet, clothes scattered throughout (as though the car is also our primary residence), and various fast food bags and cups in my car right now.  It's pretty gross.  I'm just putting it out there.  I'm not really a car person, so when things get crazy, the car cleanliness is the first to go.

And this week has just been crazy.  I'm so glad I had the forethought to not schedule any sessions this week.  So, what is it exactly that is turning my world upside down? (OK, I'm being a little dramatic.)  It's cheer try-out week.  AHHH!  I feel completely ridiculous at how nervous I am for Natalee.  She is starting Jr. High next year and this is our first try-out experience.  I feel like puking.  Her?  She's as cool as a cucumber.  So, after Friday I will be able to finally relax and return to the real (normal) adult world.  Whether she makes it or nor, I'm proud of her for trying, and my car will be clean again.

OK - on to the pictures!  How cute is the cuddly little guy?  He was 10 POUNDS when he was born!   Am I the only one that just read that and squeezed my knees together a little?  He was perfect and sweet.  He didn't really care about the whole "go to sleep so I can take your picture" bit, but we ended up with some great images!

I just love this 20x20 storyboard canvas we did combing their maternity and newborn session.  It's going to be so gorgeous in their home!

 And contact me if you are interested in my new Baby Plan!  It's a great savings, includes some beautiful boutique products, and Baby Plan clients get to secure their sessions!

Wow - seriously?  It's MARCH!?  It seems like I was just making well intentioned resolutions to lead a healthier lifestyle and become more organized while ringing in the new year.  So, at this point our resolutions are long forgotten and I don't know about you - but I'm dying to bust out some flip flops!

I've always loved Spring.  It seems so fresh and promising.  And those dang Reese's eggs sure don't hurt either.  The ratio of peanut butter to chocolate on those suckers are perfection.

And this family session from the Fall is just perfect with all of this talk of Spring.  I remember joking with this seriously adorable red head when I stuck her in a patch of green that she was just like a cute bunny hiding in the grass!  Check it out and see for yourself - cute overload!

Wow - this week has flown by!  I love getting to finally blog some of my sessions from the past Fall season.  Fall is the very busiest time of year for photographers.  It's like the cheese aisle of the grocery store before the Super Bowl, or the chocolate aisle before Valentines.  My point - you really can't book your family sessions early enough.  Every year I have to turn clients away and it makes me so sad!

Also, I've just implemented a new payment plan for clients spending over a certain amount on their orders.  Pretty cool huh?  And did I mention it's interest free?  Yeah - that's right!  Now, let's take a look at this beautiful family session shall we?

I'm going back to the Fall so I can begin showcasing some of my beautiful clients and their families that I was so privileged to work with this past year!  I loved this session!  The colors were so whimsical - and what personalities these two had.

And their Christmas card....it was seriously jaw-dropping gorgeous!
