Fit FOUR A Princess!

December 15, 2017 ·

Each year, until this current one, I’ve done a photo session for Kaitlyn’s birthday.  We managed to finally get in right at her “Half Birthday” and I’m thrilled with the results.  FOUR is such a transitional year!  Once Kaitlyn turned 4, she proclaimed she was a big girl, quit sucking her thumb on her own (hallelujah!), and started having just much more mature thoughts and conversations.  Still… she’s little.  Little enough to believe in magic and fairy godmothers.  Little enough that she delights in wearing princess gowns.  Little enough to sing at the top of her lungs and skips to the beat of her own drum without any hesitation.  I love this age.  I want to soak in every minute of it and remember it all so vividly.



Thank you Alicia P. Photography for capturing my little princess in her true spirit!

Family Photo Season!

October 30, 2017 ·

Tis the season…. that everyone is scrambling to get those precious family photos that will be cherished for years to come!  We all know that we “should” take more pics with our families, especially for the moms to be in front of the camera.  Over the years, we’ve seen holiday cards moving more and more into the photo cards, and I LOVE IT!  I save all our photo cards and file them away.  I even try to group them together by the same families, so we can flip through them once in awhile and see how our loved ones have grown and changed.  Especially in this digital, social-media age, some people never get around to even printing a picture besides a photo card.  So I say, bring it on!  Keep the holiday photos coming!

We just did our own holiday family photo session over the weekend, and I am already on pins and needles, so excited to see how they turned out.  In the meantime, I figured a trip down memory lane would hold me over during my anticipation.  Honestly, I’m always scared each year that I won’t love the photos as much as the year before, and last year’s was just my fave!

Do you take annual holiday photos?  What’s your favorite card-printer service?  I’d love to know!
