MORE CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT IMAGES as promised

Lydia

Probably my youngest baby this year for Christmas Portraits. I think I had another scheduled that was younger, but her mommy cancelled when the weather turned out yucky. I have photographed Lydia's big sister since she was just a few weeks old. Well, now she has just turned three and we all now how 2 and 3 years old can be...
BABY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS
But after much bribing and begging we did get some with both girls:
LYDIA AND LAUREL

Hallie


Hallie and her mommy & daddy
Yes, I do photograph grown-ups too.

Maddie & McKenzie

Baby sister wasn't in a smiling mood, but I still had some favorites of these girls that weren't all cheese and smiles...

The ornaments on the trees were brought by their mommy. Their personal touch to their Christmas Portraits.

Allie, Caleb and Anna

I love the fact their their mom chose to go pastel for their holiday portrait. I have done a holiday greeting card for my children since my first child was two. So I have often tried to think of different color and ideas so that each year isn't red and green. I love, love this idea and I even had the bright-pastel ornament that I bought because I had bought the outfits for Emma and Natalie that had some of these colors as well.

Ashlee & Austin
There's another one of them...though I think this one was the best and the only one that Ashlee really gave us a sweet smile. The other image is listed below. I am not so good at this blog stuff that I can move images as I want them to be post if I don't get it correct when I post it the first time...unless I delete the whole thing...which I didn't want to do. Obviously, I meant to have both images of these children posted together.

Jenae' and Jeffrey

We obviously hit the baby's good mood for the day. He was a happy fellow and we were lucky to have a smiling big sister too. Often, when we are worried that the baby won't be cooperative, it turns out the older siblings doesn't. Thanks, Jenae' and Jeffrey for doing such a good job.
The baby boys always want to throw them!
Ashlee and Austin again..the other one I mentioned. Even without a smile Ashlee is such an adorable child with her handsome big brother.

Chloe and Clayton CHRISTMAS IMAGES...

CHLOE AND CLAYTON:

These two cuties are almost one and almost two, but they are about they same size. What cuties they are! They did so good for their Christmas Portraits. The Mimi liked the more serious expression of Chloe and I have to agree. She is so pretty and this expression has a nice baby doll look for her...don't you agree?

I HAVE MORE CHRISTMAS IMAGES TO POST, BUT FOR NOW I AM JUST POSTING THESE OF CHLOE AND CLAYTON BECAUSE THEIR GRANDMOTHER HAS ASKED ABOUT THEM. I THINK SHE WANTS THEIR MOMMY AND OTHER GRANDMOTHER TO SEE HOW GOOD THEY DID FOR THEIR CHRISTMAS PORTRAITS.

Hatch Extended Family's Portrait Session

THE HATCH FAMILY:

I met Katie this past spring when I photographed Julia's Newborn Portrait Session. Yes, many people think I only photograph babies or newborns. I guess babies are my speciality. I have always loved babies and baby stuff...how could they not be.

As you can see below, I do photograph families too. This is portrait is the formal portrait from the session. Katie and her husband are on the left side of the image, her parents in the middle, and her sister and her husband on the right. The babies dressed in red are Julia and Jack. The first grandson and granddaughter for these grandparents.

SNEAK PREVIEW 2007 CHRISTMAS PORTRAITS

Braxton & Colby

I got a chance to work on some of the images from the last two days. I haven't finished editing, but I thought I would post a few. I think these are just precious. I think I had more boys so far this year...today may be more girls...we'll see...

Caleb

Reagan

Baxton Houston

Our little Natalie...and, of course, she was the most un-cooperative child of the day. I had two others dresses that I wanted to photograph her in, but she had to go out of town with her parents and other grandparents. So maybe...I mean hopefully, I will find an opportunity to do the others here in the studio, but I really wanted this look for her in those too. Oh well....I am sure I can come up with something. (LOL)

Natalie and Emma

Emma

That's all I have ready for now. I was pleased with the look for this year. I will try to post more later. I hope you enjoy your sneak preview for now.
