Long ago I was the nanny for Valerie and Julian’s family and we’ve remained very close through the years.  It’s hard to believe that the 5 month old baby girl I started with will be 10 in January!  Valerie called and asked if I would do the family Christmas card photo this year so I headed over on Friday evening for a quick shoot.  When I got out of the car, two real live cowboys greeted me, guns a blazing!

These guys make me so excited about having a boy of my own!

Val is big on themed cards – can you tell? ;o)  Here are a couple of options – which one do you like best?

Dave, Carrie, and their little man just recently made the move from California to the Nashville area for Dave to play with the Tennessee Titans.  We had a great time shooting their family session the other day at Edwin Warner Park!  They have such a relaxed manner to them and their little family is just precious to watch.  Welcome to Nashville guys!  We hope you enjoy this little sneak peek! :o)

I’m downloading everything from Claire and James’ most fabulous wedding right now and I can’t wait to get started on it!  There’s just so much to get out the door before the little man arrives!  In the meantime, we are due up for some new images up on the blog so I wanted to share a few of my favorite girls with you.  Two of my very best friends came over a couple of weekends ago so that we could commemorate the milestone ages of their little ones. 

You remember Georgia.  She’s 6 months old!  Don’t you love those cheeks??

Evie is 1 year old and she is quite the sassy little thing.  :)

Lauren will be 4 in November so her spotlight shoot will be coming up soon.  In the meantime, we had to catch some of this great cheesin’ on film (do you still say that now that we’re in the world of digital??).

It’s so much fun to see what kids will do. :)  Thanks for looking!
