This cute little crew came in from out of town to celebrate the holidays with their extended family, and we were lucky enough to get a (beautiful) afternoon to help commemorate it! We thank them so much for their patience with this sneak peek, as well :-).

Hope your holidays were wonderful and we wish all eight of you a happy and healthy new year.

This family is always the MOST spontaneous and joyful, and this session was no exception. I loved the little pop of red in mom's shirt, which perfectly complemented the greenery in our surroundings; I love ANYTHING involving tossing kids around; and I love the awe kids exhibit when experiencing nature. So good. Thanks for hanging out with me as always, M fam :-).

It was actually, literally freezing during this shoot - in fact it even started snowing in the middle of it! Brrrr. But these friends of ours (mom and I are colleagues from more than 15 years ago) were total troopers and we even managed to have some fun throwing leaves around in the process :-). So great to see you guys!

This cute little nugget is named Graham, and he was a perfect little baby model. He was joined by his mom, dad, and big brother (who you have seen before and may recall is one of the best smilers ever). I loved getting to experience the outdoors with him for the first time ever :-). So nice to meet you, Graham!

I can always rely on the Lommens to bring the most joyful vibes no matter the season, and they did not disappoint this year! It was so much fun documenting some cookie decorating (and they even graciously gave me a batch to take home for my own kids to decorate - so sweet, pun intended ;-)), and we just generally had a blast. Happy Holidays, Lommens!
