All is Calm, All is Bright!

 I was so struck with how calm and relaxed this family of five was.  With a brand new baby, whose unique arrival would have been stressful for even the most relaxed person, this home was so peaceful....complete with a snowman in the front yard, strings of fruit loop garland, christmas crafts and handcut snowflakes in the windows.  Mom seemed to have everything in perfect order and appeared to already be all set for Christmas.  In fact, she had just been out shopping for Christmas decorations the day before and had two perfectly decorated trees all set up.  I did feel like she was a kindred spirit because she obviously shared my love for Christmas as well!  Thanks for a great morning!  I loved the chance to spend some time with a whole group of girls!!!  I'm so used to being outnumbered by boys at my house!  The calm was lovely also!!

Baby "H"

 Baby "H" is....perfect.  She was such an easy baby to photograph and I never heard a single cry.  I'm convinced she doesn't cry...at all.  Her sweet little face, her beautiful little Christmas outfit, her cute smile were all....perfect.  Her parents were so relaxed and took everything in stride.  The whole morning was a pleasure.  Your beautiful little girl is a treasure.  Congratulations!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

As soon as the "G" family arrived for their photos, I immediately thought Christmas!  I had actually just put up my tree the night before and then seeing their color combination made me want to turn on the Christmas carols.  I refrained...it may be just a bit too early!  It was certainly not too early for some family Christmas pictures.  It was great to see you again, enjoy your sneak peek!

Save the Snow!!!!

 This session was all about snow....and saving it!  As we headed out to the "G" family's back yard we were all given instructions to walk righ along the perimeter of the yard so we would, "save the snow", and leave the freshly fallen white goodness untouched.  I know that as soon as we finished these pictures the boys were going to head out and make the most of winter.  Well, they didn't wait to be finished the pictures and dove right into enjoying it....at my expense.  I think this was the first photo session were I needed to take a little break because my camera was covered with snow and as a result my lens was fogging up!  Also the first time, I got a face full of snow at a session.  It okay....I'm already planning my revenge!!  Although many people were not happy about the dump of snow we recevied this weekend, I was actually quite ready for it.  It really provides such a great backdrop and the wintery look of these photos isn't something you can get just anywhere!  Yeah, Winterpeg!!!
