Christmas mini-sessions - Porter.

Sorry that I am running a little behind in my posting! This is the last of my Christmas mini-sessions.  Porter lives in Nashville and was celebrating his birthday the Saturday my mini-session were schedule.  He and his mom were in town the next Saturday for our town's Christmas festival, so we met that morning for a mini-session.

He was such a good sport and had so much fun exploring the farm.  LIke most 2-year-olds he is busy, busy, busy! 

But a candy cane managed to get him to sit for a few shots.

I was glad that we were able to get this shot.  It's always a favorite of mine.

Anna Lindsay, thanks for making the drive down. I'm so glad we finally got to meet!  Thanks again!

Christmas Mini-sessions - Bryan.

Bryan was my last mini-session of the day.  He told me as we were walking to the barn that his dad has polished his boots for it. :-)

This was one of the very first shots and I think it is my very favorite. We used it for the Christmas card.

I like this one, too.

Bryan is a 3rd grader and is a football player. He plays center for his team.

Bryan's best friend, Sawyer, had been there earlier in the day with his brother and sister for their card session.  Sawyer came back with Bryan, and I took a few shots of the these best friends together. Reminds me of my best friend and I at this age. This will be one to treasure in a few years.

Bryan and I had a good time and I had a lot of help from Sawyer getting  to smile!

Christmas Mini-sessions - Jasmine and Caden.

Some more of my favorite kiddos. I first met Jasmine and Caden this summer when we had a family session. I was so glad that they came back for a Christmas session!

Jasmine is such a sweetheart.  I can tell she is a great big sister.  She is so sweet with Caden.

Caden really liked my wheelbarrow.  This is one of my favorites of him.

And another favorite of Jasmine and Caden together.

Their cards are really cute, too.  How I wish I could share them!  I may have to have a card post after Christmas to share everyone's cards. Thanks for coming out, guys!

Rachel, Caleb & Kate - Christmas Mini-session.

Meet Rachel, Caleb and Kate.  

Their mom, Becca, and I went to school together from Elementary through high school.  I was so excited when Becca schedule a Christmas mini-session. I knew she would have adorable coordinating outfits for her trio.

I think this is my favorite of Miss Rachel.

Caleb.  Can't you just see the mischievousness in his eyes?! ;-)

 And Miss Kate.  Oh such a cutie!  Thos big blue eyes!

And I just love this one.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way Kate has her mouth open while Caleb is taking a bite.  Sooooo cute!

Rachel helped me out on the card design and I so wish I could share it with you, but I know Becca is working on getting their cards in the mail.  I certainly don't want to ruin the surprise! ;-)

Spreading Holiday Cheer.

I was in the office before 5:30 this morning.  So much to get done today.  Yesterday UPS delivered three big boxes full of prints and Christmas cards! Today I am busy sorting and packaging up orders to go out. 

Yesterday I picked up my new bags! I can't wait to deliver all the goodies to my clients in these! My buddies at NDesigns did an awesome job on them!

Here's a little peak at a little extra gift for my Christmas mini-session clients. Something to make their holidays packages a little more personal.

And a little peak at one of the many cards I have designed this year.  My clients are originals and so are their cards! All my cards are created especially for them.  No two are the same! 

So now I've got to get busy! After a run for more ribbon and a print cartridge I have a lot more holiday cheer to spread!

Christmas Mini-Sessions - Ben, Holt & Amelia Kate

If it seems I am posting a lot of Christmas sessions all at once it is because I am! LOL! I have been so busy editing and designing Christmas cards this past week that I have not taken the time to update my blog.  I am happy to say that I have all my Christmas mini-sessions edited, cards designed and even ordered with the exception of one that I am waiting final approval on. Woohoo!  I do still have several more regular sessions to get edited, but the ones that included Christmas card pachkages for Christmas are done. 

So let's get on to the photos! That's what you're all here to see anyway! :-)

You might also remember this trio from my mini-sessions last Christmas. If not, let me introduce Ben, Holt and Amelia Kate.

Handsome Ben. 

Cutie Pie Holt. (I bet he doesn't like me calling him that but he is!)

Sweet Amelia Kate. 

Don't let Amelia Kate's sweet looks fool you.  She is an awesome athlete.  She had played soccer earlier that morning and scored several goals for her team!  All the while wearing her trademark bow.  You will never see this girl without her bow! Love it!

These three are true siblings.  They were giving each other a hard time the entire time! Especially the boys!

I have a feeling Amelia Kate can hold her own. :-)

They were on the way to their Little cousin's birthday party.  You will meet Porter in a later post. I'm glad they were able to squeeze a session in their busy day! Thanks guys for being good sports!

Christmas Mini-Sessions - The F Family.

You might remember this family from earlier this summer. I am so glad they chose to schedule a Christmas mini-session. 

I was so happy to get to see my buddy Will again.  He kills me with his "Cheese and Crackers!".  :-)

You can tell that he absolutely adores his big sister Emma.  She is such a natural beauty.

I love this sweet moment between the two of them.

 Another favorite family shot.

 And the card not chosen.... That just means the one they did pick is even better!

Thanks for coming out guys! It's always fun getting together with y'all!

Christmas Mini-Sessions - Sawyer, Kennedy & Jacob.

Some more of my favorite kiddos.  If you've seen much of my work in the past you probably remember this trio. :-)

So I thought the candycanes would be a lot of fun. 

Sawyer with his heart...

Kennedy with her heart...

 

And Jacob with his... Well, Jacob had other plans for his candy cane!

Oh how I wish I could share their Christmas card with you! It is so cute! I will tell you that it uses the previous three photos.  Maybe I can share it after the hoolidays.  :-)

This was their mom's favorite.

And in the end we got mom in a few shots.

Shannon is such a sweetheart.  We didn't have the whole family there for a family portrait, but I am so glad we got these of Shannon with the kids.  As a mom myself, I love these.  Every mom needs photos of herself with her kids.  Both she and her children will treasure these in the years  to come.

Thanks for making the drive to see me! It was so good to see you! Miss you!

Christmas Mini-sessions - Brooklyn and Bailey.

 I think my mouth dropped open when Brooklyn and Bailey arrived.  I love these girls (and their mom and dad). They are long-time friends. The girls were absolutely beautiful.    

I

They had just returned home from Walt Disney World and couple days before and poor Bailey had picked up a nasty bug. Poor baby was running a fever, but you would never know it from her pictures. She was a trooper.

 And Brooklyn... Well what can I say?

I honestly do not think I have ever seen two sisters loooks less alike but look more like their parents. Brooklyn looks just like her mom and Bailey looks just like their dad. It is amazing. Even Chris said it when he walked in my office while I was editing these.

 I knew Brooklyn and Bailey were the only girl-only session I was going to have for the day so I bought these pink suckers especially for them.  Love them! 

I just love these with the lollipops!

I can't wait to design their card!! 

Christmas Mini-sessions - Brody.

My second session of the morning was Mr. Brody.  Brody is 2-years-old. For a photographer that is all you need to know! LOL! 2-year-olds (especially boys) may be the most difficult of all subjects. They may also be the most precious. I don't usually start out with a candy cane, but sometimes you just do what you gotta do.

What I have learned about 2-year-olds is that it is much better to just let them do what they want to do. Sometimes you'll be lucky enough to get something like this.

This is a favorite.

And so is this. Brody was pretty much done with us at this point, but it is one of my favorites. Just look at those eyes!

 We had to get a few with mom. So sweet!

For a boy who was busy checking out everything on the farm, I think we managed to get some pretty good ones. ;-) 

Christmas Mini-Session - The D Family.

I am finally getting to edit my Christmas mini-session from a couple weeks ago.  It was such a fun day! Gorgeous weather! 

Dawn had scheduled a family session for a week or so before, but something came up and she had to cancel.  Since we weren't able to work out another time, we decided to some non-holiday shots.

 

For a second year in a row the kids' soccer tournament threw me for a loop.  It was originally scheduled for the weekend before, but was changed at the last minute. That meant a little bit of shuffling for some of my families. Dawn and I had been waiting all week to find out when Andrew was going to play and of course his game was scheduled at the same time as their mini-session.  So we just moved them to first thing in the morning, and it all worked out fine.  Plus the boys weren't tired out from being at the soccer field.

Andrew always turns on the smile.  Alex not so much. :-)

We did get a little smile out of him when we moved over to the barn for some holiday shots.

 And I just don't know what it is, but I love this one of Alex.

And if you think they look familiar it is probably because you remember them from their rockin' slideshow from last year. I love this family!

Thanks guys for working with me on such a hectic day!
