Let's start with a picture that makes you not only smile, but laugh as well!
Look closely and see if you notice what the oldest is holding in her hand...a reason for every kiss!

#2

Somber, but beautiful!

#3

I love that the kids are holding their most beloved "friends"...Teddy and Dolly.

...and that look of love towards their brother....ah, just melts my heart!

#4

I love when the personalities are captured in a moment!

#5

Five kids, and personality in each!

I think the little one is learning from her older brother...uh oh! :)

#6

Pure JOY, especially in those big blue eyes!

#7

So cold, but so FUN!

#8

Huge smiles! This is a keeper! Frame it, Mom!

#9

Cold winter wind!

They were SO happy for quilts (homemade by my husband and I's grandmothers)!

#10

Everything about this makes me smile...

the gigantic tutu, the pink lip gloss, the pearls, and those eyelashes!
100% princess!

#11

My precious baby boy!

(not really...my best friend from childhood's baby boy...so he counts as mine, right??)

#12

Santa and Mrs. Claus on campus...

you're smiling at this too!

#13

A few senior sessions to throw in!!

#14

Obsessed with the patterns and his expression!

#15

Again, personalities, even at six months of age!

And the drool...

I LOVE IT!

#16

This girl = perfection!

#17

I think I have to be honest and say this is one of my favorites of all time.

At the end of a session, the kids are always running low on smiles...

#18

...but isn't it just perfect timing for a moment like this????

#19

Happy Holidays!

Nothing says it better than love wrapped with Christmas lights!

#20

The stripes...adorable!

But with all of the energy in this session, those stripes were quite a blur in most shots! :)

#21

I have no words for this, other than "perfect."

I loved how much these children came up with SO many ideas for shots!

#22

Beautiful...

#23

And ornery! 

#24

My mommy and daddy...

I want to be JUST like them when I grow up!

He makes her laugh EVERY day!

#25

Two of my favorite people in life! My brother and his love.

#26

Beautiful family, inside and out.

And even better, BOTH dogs are looking!

#27

Everything about this session cracked me up!

My abs were sore from all of the laughing...

#28

Six years of marriage and they are still SO much in love!

#29

Sisters in pink! I love this moment!

#30

Priceless, down to baby brother and the dog!

#31

The contrast of white with warm colors is great,

not to even mention the love in this family.

#32
A gift for Momsie and PopPop (I love how he spelled her name!)...

#33

K-State pride!

#34

Just when you think a session should be canceled due to rain, 

you chance it and get a picture like this!

#35

I love that they wanted a baseball theme,

and a baseball theme is what they get! 

#36

A father's love. Priceless.

#37

I don't think she will be that much shorter than you for long! Watch out!

#38

A cold wintry day on the lake.

#39

 Ornery siblings. :)

#40

Words from a wise uncle.

#38

And finally, I must end with where I began.

Love, in every way imaginable.

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

I will see you very soon in 2012!

Chalkboard Christmas Card

This year, my husband and I are sending out our first Christmas cards

as a married couple! Since my big "thing" this year was starting a photography

business, I wanted to base our card around a picture of the two of us.
(Yes, I did have to use the self-time and run back and forth!)

But I am my mother's daughter, and everything has to be based around a story.

So I combined the two, and put a story into the picture.

Of course we couldn't fit everything from the year of 2011 onto

a small chalkboard, but we chose some favorites that separate this year

from others. I then edited the picture and added a few things in photoshop,
and WALLAH!

So much more than anything I could find on Shutterfly.

A local print shop was able to print them for under $20!

Cheap and cute! I love our 2011 Christmas cards!

White Family

I don't believe that I have ever known any brother and sister so kind to one another!

I'm sure their mom would disagree with me sometimes, 

but they truly were a blessing to work with!

I mean I might be a little biased towards 4th graders, 

but aren't all teenagers sweet as this as freshmen?
