happy birthday...

to me....
another year.  i can't believe it.
this past year was a good one....
i finished two half marathons and one full marathon.
i raised a whole bunch of money for team in training.
my brother is healthy after treatment for hodgkins lymphoma.
my business has grown. plus, i manage to have the best clients.
my kids are growing up to be such sweet people (at least i think so!).
my husband is still willing to put up with my craziness!
i have amazing friends and a wonderful family.

so, i am having a very happy birthday.  i am on vacation with my family.
this is one happy girl.

a sneak peek for the aronson family...

tucker family

i absolutely adore this family.  what more can i say?  i always enjoy time with the tuckers and mrs. tucker is one of my favorite friends.  maybe they should have another kid because the first three are awfully cute!  

another mini session

here are a few of my favorite photos from a recent mini-session.  isn't this little one adorable?

winslow family

once in a while i am asked if my job is repetitive.  it may appear as though i am doing the same thing over and over again by meeting families for holiday portraits but i have to say that each time is different. each family is unique and although i have my favorite spots for photos, i do enjoy each photo session because each family brings something different to the table.  different ages, different personalities.  plus, the change of seasons, different weather and different light makes each session unique as well. i enjoy it all.  i really do.

i know i have said this before but i am always so happy when a family returns for another year of photos.  there are so many talented photographers around so i am flattered when a family comes back to me.  here are a few photos from my photo session with the winslow kids. oh, so cute!

mini session
