I can’t believe I haven’t shared these with you!  I had planned to take the month of December off.  HA!  I didn’t shoot any sessions, but I have still been busy wrapping up client orders, designing Christmas cards, answering inquiries, updating my print collections for 2013, etc.  All on top of trying to squeeze in lots of Christmas activities with my children, get together’s with family and friends, and more than a few meetings making decisions about our future home.  So, my blog and Facebook page have taken a back burner for awhile.  Last night, I had a notification on my Facebook page that I hadn’t posted there in seven days.  I guess it is bad when even Facebook is wondering where on earth you went!  But, it is time to catch up here and share with you some of my favorite sessions from the year.  I still haven’t shared the images of my own kids that I took for our Christmas card, so I’ll do that later this week, too.

This little guy was the sweetest.  He wasn’t sure he wanted to sleep for the first hour of the session, but I didn’t mind much because that meant that I got to spend some time holding and rocking him; I’ll never complain about that!  Once he was finally out, he was such an easy baby to work with.  It was so much fun getting to spend some time with his family, too, including his big sister Ava.  We will be spending lots of time in the future because we have many sessions planned throughout his first year.  I’m looking forward to them!
