Madison's Christmas Portraits

Isn't she a doll?

For some reason, this dress and this photo makes me think of Gone with Wind. I think it is two things. Her riding side saddle on the rocking horse and the deep emerald green dress.

Madison is almost two. Her birthday was about a week after the images. I have photographed Madison several times since she was born. It is so amazing how much they change!

Skyler and her brother, Cayden

I just love, love photos of children in their Christmas attire. When my two children (my son and daughter) were young, I loved dressing them (and us, their parents) in coordinating holiday themed or just the same colors for Christmas Portrait and cards and for attending church. Now I love photographing other people's children. (But I still get to dress Natalie in pretty holidays clothes too. NATALIE'S HOLIDAY ATTIRE )

She was quite easy to amuse.

She, too, loved my rocking horse!

And her big brother did too!

Okay, I am almost through posting holiday images. By for now that's it.

I just love babies and Christmas...

CAN YOU STAND ANOTHER TUTU CUTE BABY? I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS KIND OF STUFF. I AM SO LOVING TUTUS. I AM SO GLAD MY FIRST GRANDCHILD WAS GIRL. {SHE'S WANTS BALLERINA STUFF FOR CHRISTMAS...SO SWEET!}

This is Landry. Isn't she a doll...

Can you believe it is almost Christmas? Is it sneaking up on all of you like it has me?

IS YOUR CHILD ON THE "NICE" LIST?

http://family.go.com/santas-list/video/56358-mimi2natalie/

Check out this video. This is one of the cutest little videos I have seen. I received this email from DisneyFamily.com about this. After you join this website or whatever you call it, all you have to do is upload a photo of your child. Couldn't be any easier!

I can't wait to watch Natalie view. Brittany had already watched it when I talked to her earlier today. If Natalie has even half the excitement that her Aunt Cari had, then Randy suggestion was right on. He suggested that Natalie not see it the first time until we can see her watching it...which should be tomorrow or the next day. I did feel compelled to show it to you, my blog readers, since all you may not view NATALIE' WORLD (my first blog), I wanted to include it here too so that you can have an opportunity to do this with the special little one in your life this holiday season.

Have fun making memories with the Little Ones this Wonderful Time of the Year!

NOT AN EASY SIBLING PORTRAIT TO PHOTOGRAPH what a handsome little boy...

Two-year olds aren't to easy to photography either...

Little Miss Marlie Blair...

The rocking horse was a big hit this year.

A few more Christmas images.

Gotta get back to work so that I can finally do some shopping for my family.

CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT PACKAGES ARE IN & IMAGES OF NATALIE

I bet your expecting images of my little sweetheart, Natalie. This is another Natalie and she is also three years old and just as adorable as she can be. I am sure she IS someone's sweetheart. With a face and a smile like that you gotta be... These are a few images from the first Christmas Promo.

I did not have back-to-back sessions at this point. So we did two outfits. And I had to capture some images of her just playing...I couldn't resist.

She looked so precious in the Santa hat. I think this is the one her mommy chose for their Christmas cards.

CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT PACKAGES:

• My husband is being a sweetheart as I write this. He is taking them to Dianne's Frames so that you can pick them up at your convenience.
• Since it is the end of the day and he will probably get them there just before closing, you can pick them up tomorrow (12.17.08).
• I think the Frame and Gift shop opens at 10:00, but feel free to call and see before you go by there.
  

PRETTY IN PINK...I MEAN...HANDSOME IN PINK

WIL AND HAYDEN

sweet, huh?

(even if did only get a few of those--moms love these--I know I doo)

Have you seen any more handsome boys in pink?
Wil

Hayden
I am still trying to catch up. I plan to get a lot of word done the next few days since I have schedule "work" days this week...not sessions. I just wanted to post a few more images from the recent Christmas promotion (I say recent...these are from the first one).

I had posted last week that the Christmas Packages would be available pick up at Dianne's Frames on Friday. Well for some reason they were delayed through UPS shipping. I do expect to receive those today, but it may be late in the day. So stay tuned as to which day they will be available to pick up.

Okay, I just wanted to post something. I still have a lot of more ordering to do and the older sessions to get finished before I can begin my holiday shopping and planning. I have several sets of images ready that I have recently ordered so I just wanted to pause a few and give you something new to view.

So back to all the other work for me.

Reagan and Colton more blue with Red for Christmas

SOME OF MY FAVS FROM THE WINTERWONDERLAND PROMO OF REAGAN AND HER BABY BROTHER, COLTON...

SANTA SOLDERS SNAPSHOT AND CHRISTMAS PORTRAITS ARE IN

LEFT TO RIGHT (above): Cari, Brittany, Emma (in front of B), me, a solder, and Natalie

Left to right backrow: Mark Porter (from the radio station...I think) and Santa
Left to right front: Tanya (my big helper last Christmas Season), Cari, Brittany, Emma (in front of Brittany), me, Solder volunteer, and Natalie.

SNAPSHOT FIRST...

These two photos were taken last year at Dairy Queen. Each year my gift to you is no session fee for Holiday Portrait Session. Your gift and mine to need children in our area is the toy that you bring to save money on your Christmas Portrait Package. Each year the radio station hosts a toy drive for Santa Solders at Dairy Queen. Well, this year today is the day (12.12.08). After I pick Cari up from school, we will delivery "our" toys to Dairy Queen. These photos were taken last year with my "new" snapshot camera at the time. It's not such a great photo, but just a snapshot...so yes, sometimes photographers have images that are just snapshots. We aren't happy with them, but they are much better than nothing!

TODAY BEFORE I TAKE THE TOYS TO DAIRY QUEEN, I WILL BE DELIVERING YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS AND CHRISTMAS PORTRAITS TO DIANNE'S FRAMES (NEXT DOOR TO DAIRY QUEEN)

WHAT TIME?

4:00ish

Okay, that's it for now...I have to finish getting the packages ready.

I missed one...

I mean two. After I hit preview, I realized that I missed this simple collage of these two that I forgot to include and then I saw the one of Ava too. Yes, I had the one of Maddox and this one of Ava included as an individual image, but I also wanted to show how they nice they looked in ths simple collage.

Aren't they just adorabe?

Ava and Maddox Christmas Portraits

These are some of my favs from Ava and Maddox's "Winter Wonderland" Promotion. I finally have all these are their way back here from the lab...so I think I will share some of these with you.

TUTU CUTE TODDLER!

BAYLEE IS "tutu" cute!

Okay, I didn't get a baby to do my tutu cute portraits with my Christmas tutus, but I got a beautiful toddler. Actually, I knew I had this toddler coming while she and her parents were in town for Thanksgiving. I had more this tiny tutu for infants and I have a new larger one too. But Baylee is built like my little Natalie and I knew she could pull this off, probably better than the larger size. And as you can see....and I will say it againg--"TUTU CUTE"!

Baylee doesn't get the whole "dress-up" thing yet and she wasn't too fond of the tutu at first, but I am so glad that we got her mind of it so we could capture these.

Well, it's not even Thanksgiving, but the Christmas Portrait season has definitely been underway for a while now. I will be having a LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT PROMOTION, December 6, 2008. I will try to post more about this before I leave for Thanksgiving...if I don't get around to it...and you know you are interested, please email me @ japhotography@bellsouth.net so that I can send you an email with more information.

HAPPY THANKGIVING!

(just in case I don't get to post again)
