{A Holiday Photo Shoot with Miss Madison}

Did everyone have a beautiful holiday??? Mine was great! BUSY but fun! My husband and I went to Texas for a few days to hang out with my family and headed back to Maryland on Christmas day to hang out with Tom's family. While we were in Texas, I managed to fit in a photo shoot with Madison and Megan.

Let me tell you something,... this girl might end up a model. She is 7 and a complete natural. She came up with poses I never thought she would! :)

Megan wanted to give Kyle pictures of his daughter for Christmas, so we scheduled this last minute shoot for the 23rd, headed over to Mimi's for breakfast while editing as many pictures as fast as possible. I believe Megan took the pictures for one hour developing and got them framed and wrapped just in time.

These turned out great, I hope Kyle loved them.

a cute little outtake :)

{Fabric Christmas Ornaments}

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! This year, for Christmas I made ornaments! I knew I wanted to do something a little different for most of my gifts, so I searched high and low for just the right handmade ornament. I found the tutorial over at the Knitty Gritty Thoughts blog.

This tutorial was really easy to follow and I think the outcome is a fabulous little artichoke looking Christmas ornament.

I sent some of these off to my friends in different parts of the country in their favorite colors, I gave some to my coworkers and I gave them to my family. I hope everyone loved them because I loved making them!

"Merry Christmas to all and to all, a good night"

{Little Miss Camryn}

I snapped some pictures of Miss Camryn while she played around the Inner Harbor. Isn't she adorable!?!? She had so much fun playing and I had fun catching it on film. Kids are my favorite subject for sure!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend!

{Little Miss Madison}

Madison was a wonderful subject for some sweet pictures. She was very smily and she loved to eat her adorable purple tutu!

{Cath Kidston in the USA?!?!?!?!}

CathKidstonUSA

I know I have been kinda MIA lately,... but I didn't fall off the planet!!! How did I not know Cath Kidston has new shipping to the US!?!?! I am sooooo happy right now! My cart is filling up as we speak,.... this could be bad,.... real bad. (Please don't tell my husband).

{Gummy Bear}

We're having a baby!!! (Which happens to look like a little gummy bear!)

{Locks Of Love}

It was time for a CHANGE!!!

My hair had not been cut since March (the last time I went to Texas) and it had grown all the way to my waist. I made my hair appointment when I knew I was going home and was SO ready for this big cut.

Believe it or not, my brother met me out for my hair appointment so he could take pictures for me!!! Thanks Matt!!!

This pony tail that I'm holding up is about 11 ish inches. I decided before I went that if I was planning on cutting off my hair, I was going to donate it, and I believe Locks of Love requirement is like 10 inches,.... so there you have it.

And,... ta da!!

I am loving my new shorter hair. The cut didn't really phase me much, I was just ready to get it CUT!!! My 11 inch pony tail will go out in the mail next week.

{Henry & Ruby Turn 2!!}

I had the pleasure of photographing sweet twins Henry & Ruby's 2nd birthday party at a pumpkin patch!! It was adorable! The weather was perfect and the kids were great!

Henry was SO excited about that Owl cupcake. He just loved the eyes,.... which were Junior Mints. Well,... he liked them until he chewed them, then I guess wasn't such a fan of the mint part. :)

Ruby & her sweet little pig tails.

Henry & his cupcake with the missing eyes.

These are a couple of the kids from the party.

I had a lot of fun in the beautiful weather this day. Thanks for letting me come to the party Henry & Ruby!
