The big decorating debate — Are you a ‘We can eat turkey by the light of the twinkling lights’ type of person or a ‘Not a stitch of Christmas can exist until Thanksgiving ends’ type of person?

Me? I decorate while the kids are still saying “Trick-or-Treat” 🎃

It’s too much work to just enjoy for a single month 🤭

BUT……I’m also a ‘The day after Christmas it all gets put away’ type of person 🎄

Harlow & Laney love the Christmas lights and they know what presents are and what to do with them. It’s like watching little kids opening gifts at my house 🎁

I just needed to see the comparison of all three babies 💕

This little angel baby was such a sweet girl for her newborn session that I could have photographed her for days! Look at that pretty face ❤️

She came with her parents, grandma & her auntie (her auntie is my daughter's BFF), and I think they all had a lot of fun watching her & I play dress-up ☺️

We did so many adorable setups and poses; I can't wait to share more!

Another awesome year with the most amazing family. This year, there were no weather-related reschedules, no illness, and no injuries! The number of images we can get in under an hour is amazing but not shocking when everyone is this well-behaved ❤️

Howdy, little cowboy - you are so handsome!

Elaine is baby number three in this family, and initially, I wasn't sure she looked as similar to her big brother & sister as they did to each other, but by the time I wrapped her up for this setup, I saw it - she is definitely one of theirs LOL That little face is a clone of her siblings 💕

Big brother has this pose in a moon bowl. Big sister has this pose in a heart bowl, and now baby Elaine has the same pose in this little circle bowl. I think I may have to do a side-by-side of all 3 together 💕

Everyone is smitten with their new baby sister.....I cannot wait to edit the sibling images!

This sweet family also had to move to the studio after their outdoor session was rained out. I am so thankful to have that option because we all know how hard it is to coordinate a date for everyone in the family to be available for photos.

The outfits, while perfectly planned for outdoor photos, fit in just as well in the studio!

Everyone looked so great; I cannot wait to edit more!

The day of this session ended up with rain, and we could not reschedule because there was family from out of state. I had never had this many people in the studio for group photos, and I was pretty nervous about fitting everyone in. With a little furniture rearranging, I freed up the entire wall, and everyone fit perfectly.

The entire session was completed in record-setting time, everyone stayed dry, and everyone looked great! It was so nice to meet all of you!!

I'm giggling because no one but mom, dad & I will understand how much of a miracle this absolutely perfect image is ** giggle **
