SOMETHING’S A LITTLE DIFFERENT…

Yah, it’s a little different around here. Bigger, brighter, bolder, and much more…me.

There are still a few spots left for the Joy/Peace/Wonder sessions on 9.6.08 and 9.20.08 — $100 for 15 holiday cards, a 25-minute mini-session, and a personalized proofing session!  Come on, people, you know the malls are gonna start decorating for the holidays after Labor Day hits…

The cuteness…

These two make me feel old…Bryce is one of the first kiddos I remember photographing…and now he’s got a 1-year-old baby brother!  I love how much love is in that first photo, and how very stylin’ Mr. Austin is all by his lonesome!

Boy. Awesome. Miles.

I tickled Miles until he accidentally pooted.  That’s what I love about little boys.  The end.

Oh, they’re so stinkin’ sweet!

Twins! Such sleepy babies…

These two were an absolute dream to photograph…sleepy, snuggly little bugaboos.  And so tiny — right around 5 pounds each…I could have just held them all day.

pretty much the best session ever.

These two — Gabby and James — are too stinkin’ cute for words.  The eyes (and eyelashes!) on these two are simply incredible.  We had a little playdate in my backyard, and the images are full of awesomeness and radtasticalism.  Yup, really.  Radtasticalism. 

Oh, and kudos to mom and dad for choosing to have a blind date!  That means they let ME choose the location, and they get $100 print credit toward their order for giving me that freedom.  HOORAY!

more energy than a pack of pop-rocks.

I love Pop-Rocks.  And I love Jordan.  He can’t sit still for more than 20 seconds, which is why we jumped, we went up steps, down steps, we picked flowers, and he got thrown around and upside down by Mom and Dad.  Soon enough, he’ll be too tall for upside-down-ing.

there is nothing better than baby fat. nothing.

And the trophy for chubbiest baby ever goes to…Tyson.  He got dirt in unspeakable places, and I think all seven months of him for that.

and then I dropped awesome sauce everywhere.

Been playing with new Design Aglow templates…and these are so *utterly* my style, that I’m ordering canvases of Matt and I to put everywhere.  I recommend these for canvas size 12×12 to 40×60.  Yup, 40×60.
