Sleep in heavenly peace...

Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets emotional every time that Pampers commercial comes on. But really, nothing exemplifies Christmas like a sleeping little one, right. There's just something so innocent and peaceful that is sure to put anyone in the holiday spirit. I wanted to share a few of the newborns I have had the pleasure to cuddle this month. I'll do a longer post for each of them also. Just a little sneak here. I hope each of my readers has a very Merry Christmas!

Little Jack-




Sweet Lucia (isn't that the coolest christmas baby name?)-




And precious Avery-




Oh, and Tiffany. Don't let these put you into labor. Get through Christmas.

Because mama's worried :)

You know that anxiety you feel as you refresh my blog or website waiting to see if your family pictures have posted yet? Well. Multiply it by 12 and add a few digits and you might then understand how it feels when you're a photographer waiting on images of your own family. It's torture. TORTURE. You know in your head that surely the other photographer got *something*, but then you kill yourself thinking of all the things that you should have done differently, because you know how you're "supposed" to act, but in spite of it you felt the red heat of embarrasment as your own little angels didn't comply 100% with what the photographer asked, and you had to just find a happy place several times out of panic. Yeah.
Recently, my pal Teresa ofWild Sugar Photography in St. Petersburg met up to capture some images of our own families. She amazed me with what she got of mine, and had them done with super speed. I have not been so speedy, but I am finally wrapping up for the season, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have a lot to share, but everyone else has already seen their entire galleries so they won't be so much sneak peeks as a share of favorites. Teresa has been so patient, but she recently admitted she's freaking out a little so I wanted to give her a few to hold her over!

This little cutie McCuterson, oh she has grown! You may recognize her as the suitcase baby...


and look who's all growed up!


Big brother is a model. No, not really, but I'm thinking he would have a good career.


And I love this image of big sister and dad. Before too long, another guy will be kissing those cheeks. Hold on to it while you can, dad.


Quick...guess who's the middle child! ;)


Mom and dad haven't had any pictures together since their wedding. Which is the downside of always being behind the camera.








Hope you like them, Teresa. The rest are on the way!

Oh my my my....

These two little beauties, what can I say? I don't think I need to say much, really. Aren't they the cutest?







We even got to do a little ballet at our session :)

plugging along

Just popping on to share a few images from the "D" family's mini session. I truly am lucky to see so many kids grow up through the years, and "I" is no exception. He and his family have been coming to see me since he was almost 2, and I can't believe how big he's getting. Keep checking back, I still have lots to share in the next week!

Little miss sunshine

"P" is another sweetie I have watched grow up before my eyes, and she is just sunshine in a can. She always has hugs and kisses to share with me, and I am honored to watch her grow. She recently turned 2, and so mama and daddy met me for a session. It was the coldest.morning.ever. Ok, well, not really. It was like 48*, but bear with me people, this is florida. We're not used to that kind of frigid air! P was a trooper though, and we just had to leave her jacket on a little more than planned. :)

Don't blink

I can't believe how fast these two little monkeys are growing up!!! Little man will be one in just a few short weeks, and miss "C" is the sassiest little 3 year old cutie I know. Mama is Kori, of Paper and Pigtails. If you haven't checked out her party printables yet, you should. The cuteness is off the chain, folks. For more off the chain cuteness, check out Georgia Grace Designs, Jordan at Georgia Grace made C's dress and trench coat (which I want to steal) and H's tie! Her products are striaght up quality, and her shop is another reason I question why I was not blessed with a girl. Or maybe I don't. We'd be broke.
I loved spending the morning with you and your family, my friend, and I hope you like your sneak peek.

The faces of C...






Don't you love his hair!?!?










And I just love this shot of Kori and her hubby. He had her cracking up!

Peanut

This little peanut just turned 1! She was such a happy little lady at our session, and one year olds are notoriously difficult, so that was a treat! I am short on words tonight because I am trying to keep caught up with the holiday rush, so more proofing calls! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek "L" family!

Barrel of monkeys boys

What a fun family! 4 boys. One set of twins. A teen. A pre-teen. 2 pre-schoolers. One busy mom and dad! I am going to keep the rambling short as it's just crazy busy times over here, thankfully I have an amazing hubby who doesn't mind when I glue myself to the computer on Sunday morning.

I always love it when brothers hug. Sisters will do dainty little cute hugs, but brothers always go all out.






I fell in love with the older 2 boys! What gentlemen! If my boys are half as good as these two 10 years from now I will consider myself blessed.
