Playing Outside

And I can't decide whether I like this last one better in color or b&w ... so I posted both ...

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!! What a special special time this is. Having Wyatt to celebrate with is just such a blessing and it has made this Christmas Season so much fun!! I thank God for all of my many blessings and I pray that He blesses you in the new year. Thank you to everyone who has invited me into their lives and given me the great opportunity to capture a special moment in time. My hope is that I can truly expand this passion of mine in wonderful ways in 2012.

I posted a short sneak peek of Wyatt's Christmas Portraits that I did but here I'm posting several more - along with a few other random shots.

What a face !!

Our First Santa Visit - It didn't go too well, as you can see

Our Second Santa Visit - Ahhh.....much better!

Love and Blessings,

Christmas Portraits at The Garden, Gastonia Children's Photographer

Here is a sneak peek at Hayden's Christmas Portraits! We had a great time exploring Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens today although it started to get very cold. I hope that I was able to capture her special spark because she truly is an amazing little girl.

Little Miss Hayden

I'm shooting Hayden's Christmas Portraits this coming weekend so stay tuned for those but for now here are a few pictures I took when Hayden came to play last week.

I mean, seriously, isn't she the cutest little girl you've ever seen  ...

A Visit to the Christmas Tree Farm

We took a spontaneous trip to the Blowing Rock/Boone area to a "Choose and Cut" Christmas Tree Farm where we found the perfect tree and established the perfect tradition! Here are just a couple of pictures of Wyatt at the farm. I'll post pics of the decorated tree soon.

And here's a little sneak peek at the quick and fun photo shoot I did of Wyatt for our Christmas Cards - I'll post more once our cards have been mailed out.

Happy 1 Year Birthday Collin!, Gastonia Children's Photographer, Gastonia Family Photographer

Here is Part 1 of Collin's One Year Portrait Session. I've been photographing him since he was 2 months old and I can't believe he will be celebrating his first birthday in less than a month. There will be more to come but for now I hope you enjoy taking a sneak peek at these beautiful blue eyes!

Emily Senior Portraits Part 3, Gastonia Senior Photographer, Belmont Senior Photographer

Okay ... 3 blog posts may be a little much but I always post my favorites as I edit and I've done some more editing in the last couple of nights and I had two more I just had to post :)

Oh yeah, that is a logo you now see on the pics!! Thanks to my wonderful husband for designing me a big girl logo - I guess I'm official now .... If only I could figure out how to make it work as my blog header. Does anyone know how to customize on blogger?? Leave a comment and let me know what you all think of the new logo!
