A Very Merry Christmas...

I'm sitting in my home, surrounded by people I love the most (except we're missing Uncle Trent and Aunt Amber) and counting the many blessings that we have. I am smelling my sweet husband's incredible turkey (that would rival anything Gordon Ramsey's could create), looking at an embarassingly large mound of crumpled wrapping paper and boxes, and listening to the best sound in the world, which is the sound of my babies laughing...

Among my blessings I'm counting, also, is the fact that I get the honor of having the career that I have. Getting to know remarkable people and playing a small part in your lifes by helping you preserve memories is one of the greatest joys I know. Thank you to each family who has allowed me to be a part of your life this year - I hope that I have helped to capture a moment in time that you'll never get back but will always treasure.

One of the families who has most touched me this year you will meet below -- aside from spending time with my own family, I couldn't think of a better family to share Christmas Eve with than this family. These guys came from opposite sides of the country to spend Christmas here with their parents and I was touched so much by being able to do this generational photo session. I laughed so hard at their humorous and fun-loving nature, and got choked up at the thought of their sweetness. This is a session I will not forget...

Enjoy meeting them and seeing some behind the scenes images from their session. Merry Christmas to everyone who will read this...
