mama's, babies, and footballs.

this post is for some pretty amazing mama's that have been patient in waiting to see a sneak preview of their sessions. i did a few at once because i have been working like a good little elf in order to get these done for...
CHRISTMAS MAILERS!!!!!!!

i love me a good christmas mailer and i love saying christmas mailers instead of cards...it makes me want to say something like, " the mailers are done, now all i have to do is take them to the post!" a little bit of the little women for me to get me in the mood for christmas...not that i need any help in that department.

jeff and i decided to decorate early for christmas this year...maybe next week...just sayin'...the darwish's love them some holiday cheer!!!

first family is an old friend from school! it was so nice catching up and walking through old fields to find the perfect spot for the family photo the mama had envisioned in her mind last summer when she first asked me to these...

lydia was the perfect model and loved posing and having fun in front of my lens. she made my job a breeze!

next family was about rained out due to about 24 hours of non-stop rain. i had three shoots this day, we had
to cancel two, but we were determined to get just ONE good photo for christmas...what happened was pure
magic because i have about 100 photos i could post here. most of these were taken in the rain...mom was
holding an umbrella over her beautiful boys for the most of the shoot.

it was rainy, gray, gloomy...but these boys are amazing and made these images come alive. seriously, they
kinda make me want another boy.
