11 months!

I can't believe it but in under a month Evan will be turning ONE!!!! Where has the year gone?

Here are some photos we had taken over Christmas time while we were in Illinois visiting my family. We loved them so much we used them for his birthday invites. Stay tuned for birthday party photos towards the end of the month.

Again it's been quite some time since I've blogged so I thought I would catch up while the little guy is taking a nap! :)

Andrew & Family

We met back up with baby Andrew in November for a family/holiday shoot. We used the greenbelt near my house again.

Adam, Bailey, Quix & Cleo

My friend (and fellow photog) Bailey decided to swap photography services for a holiday shoot. We met at a green belt near our house which has provided to be a great backdrop. I took photos of Bailey, her (very tall) husband Adam and their beautiful Greyhounds. It's great to have met such good friends right down the road from us.

Samia - 18 months

When I caught up with Samia in late October for her 18 month shoot, I was floored.....WHERE DID THIS BLONDE HAIR COME FROM??!?!? I can't believe how much she grew in the 6 months that passed. I loved watching her explore anything and everything. My favorite part was watching her pay attention to her shadow.

Baby Andrew - 4 months

In October, I got to meet little baby Andrew. On top of capturing his sweet personality, his parents wanted to get a few shots of him in his Halloween costume. What a cute little monkey!

Baby Jake - 3 months

In September, I got to photograph little Jake again. He's such a sweetheart! I can't wait until our boys are a bit older. I can already picture us all at the park together for a playdate. For now, Jake may be a little scared of Evan. :)

My favorite!

Jake's Dad is a police officer

His mom sure knows how to style him. She's so crafty too! In fact, she made Jake's tie-onesie.

Check out her blog at http://thesugarbeebungalow.blogspot.com/ There will be more photos of Elisa's work on my blog in under a month as I've hired her to decorate Evan's 1st birthday party. I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeves!

Connie & Jeff - Pinedale, AZ

Mid-July we drove up to Pinedale for Connie & Jeff's wedding. The weather was perfect and we had the opportunity to take photos at the only covered bridge in Arizona. You may recognize some of these people because Connie is my sister-in-law. We had a great time and wish the new couple the best of luck for their life abroad.

My nephew Michael gave his mom away

Our sweet niece Lexi

My nephew Brenden was sad because he wasn't allowed to cut the cake.

Remember Jeff, "happy wife = happy life" Don't say I didn't warn you before you smashed the cake in Connie's face. :)

Congrats!
