I hope you all had a Valentine’s Day full of kisses and snuggles!  This is the card Xander gave to his friends.  I wrote the names on the envelopes and Xander picked the flavor of lollipop he thought each friend would like best.  It was fun to work together.  🙂

Thanks to the awesome Ariana Falerni (she also has a son named Jasper!) for the cute card template.

Adorable! I LOVE his expression on the top card. Fits with the “will you be mine” line! Hahaha! Too cute!

He’s just so handsome!!!

I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to do the photography for this season’s Under The Nile catalog, since Jasper was due right around the same time the samples were going to be ready.  Fortunately, we were able to make it happen!  They got the outfits here from Egypt super fast, my wonderful friend Christie offered to let me use her beautiful studio, and about 13 families generously offered their time at the last minute to be a pat of the shoot.  Thanks to everyone for helping me get this done at 38 weeks pregnant and with bronchitis!  The morning I was in labor, one of the last things I did before heading to the hospital was to e-mail the pictures to Under The Nile!

When we have these model shoots, I like to take a few pictures of the models (and their families) in their own clothes, as a thank you.  Here are a few of this season’s models.  More to come in the next few days!

Adorable! Can’t wait to see pics of the new little guy as he’s growing up. He is so sweet!

I love your work! My husband and I thinking of maybe in the spring if we can get everyone together to have a family photo done! We have no baby’s we are an extended family ranging from 27 to 15. Looking forward to talking with you!

I know, I know…I still haven’t blogged about my tiny new Valentine, Jasper!  Blog post and pictures coming soon.  I am having the best time with him and love every little thing about him.  Being at home with him and having more time with Paul and Xander – I am so lucky and happy and am completely treasuring this time.

I didn’t think I’d be up for a client session until a month or so after his birth, but I was feeling great and very excited to meet baby Nate, who was born nine days after Jasper.  This is another one of those families that I really enjoy spending time with, and every session with them is so special, as their family continues to grow.  Be sure to check out their previous sessions here, here and here!

Baby Nate is adorable! I think this one’s gonna look like an Apergis! : )
LOVE + Blessings!

Since it’s been nearly two weeks a month since the end of the contest, I guess it’s about time to announce our winners!  🙂

I’m very happy to report that this mama and her twin girls, whom I photographed for their first Birthday, second Birthday, third Birthday, fourth Birthday, and fifth Birthday, are getting their sixth Birthday session and CD for free!  Thank you to everyone who voted for them and thank you to their mom for all these years of support!

The picture with the second highest number of votes belongs to this family, the winners of a 50% discount on a 2012 full session and collection, or 50% discount on a 2012 mini session!!!

Third place goes to these three sweet sisters.  I would love to see their family again this year and their prize is 50% off of a 2012 mini session!


I started this post two weeks (or longer) ago, and was considering putting a couple more winners, but if I wait until I come up with those, who knows how long we’ll be waiting.  So these are our three winners, and stay tuned for some random giveaways and specials on my Facebook page over the next few months!!!

Thank you to all my contestants and voters for your awesome participation!!!
