This Thanksgiving I will be taking a bit of a break to spend the day with my own family.  We'll cook and relax and just enjoy the day!  I'm soooo looking forward to it!  But don't worry, if you are waiting on proofs or have placed an order, I will be spending the rest of the weekend catching up.  I will be sending lots of emails with news of proofs posted, prints delivered and cards to preview.

Now, on to the pictures...I love clients that have a sense of humor (you'll know what I'm talking about at the bottom of this post, ha!)

 

 

 

It was very overcast on this day, even threatening to rain, but the sun showed up at just the right time.  I love the yummy light!

A few out-takes that I just couldn't resist including...pls don't hate me Tarrah! (You've gotta love a 3yo!!!)

 

This one is for all of the Mom's out there...we've all been there!

This is the third birth that I've gotten to photograph...and each one is so amazing...so emotional...and such a miracle.  Days like this remind me of how great God really is!  What a blessing!

You would think that four little kids in one shot would be hard, but these guys made it look easy!  The Moms were well prepared and that made all the difference!
