Happy New Year!!!

Yes, I am still here! I have just been taking a little time off for the holidays and enjoying this special time of year with my favorite people...my family!!

I just wanted to say a BIG "thank you" to all of you for making this year a great one for me. I truly appreciate all the support that you give to me. To those who trust me to capture your cherished memories and to those who leave me kind words of encouragement. I am so blessed to have been able to share this year with you and look forward to another great year ahead. I am so blessed to be able to share my obsession with photography with you! :)

I wish you all a wonderful 2010!! I hope it brings you happiness, health, charity and blessings beyond belief!!

I finish this year off with some more of my favorite images from a few of my holiday sessions. Lot's off fun stuff coming up...see you in 2010!!!

Much love,
Michelle.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and sweet holiday wishes from our family to yours!!

sometimes it's the small things...

that make me smile BIG!

A local find of an old favorite...


My little princess NOT leaving the store without these perfect princess shoes (and really I can't blame her)...


My sweet boy and his passion for trains and his inability to keep his hands off this one...


My very pink Christmas tree...


And the perfect pink-polka-dot ornaments...

The "A" family

Making their second appearance on my blog is the adorable "A" family. Mom and I go back to the days of Jr High where our friendship first started. We have so many memories together both happy, sad, good and bad and some we just won't talk about. :)

I am so excited that she choose me to help capture some of her own families memories. What a cute family she has! One spunky little guy who is always on the go and an awesome hubby who just adores her.

Thanks for a fun time once again guys! I love you to pieces!!

I had so many favs from this session, but I will save most for mom and dad. Here is just a little peek...

Always having fun!And my fav pic from the session...ok not really...man I really needed to slap some make-up on first!

holiday promo extended

I am extending my holiday promo through January. The truth is I just had a bit more requests for sessions than I could fit in before the holidays. :) I have opened up a few more slots for January so if you or someone you know was wanting one please let me know ASAP.

My next promo will be in the Spring for those of you who I know were wondering! :)

my two new crushes

Meet Morgan and Sam...aka, my two new crushes!! YES, they really are this stinkin cute!

You just want to squeeze them and touch that awesome hair of theirs, but you have to catch them first and that's no easy task let me tell you. :)

This shoot was a lot of fun and full of personality.

So Nikki here's your little sneak peek...I know you have been dying to see it. :)

Enjoy...

Two little dolls

...are coming up next!

One rocking family

Yep, I've said it before, but my clients really are good looking!! I think I may just have to have this family adopt me (OK Laura)so I can be cute by association...that works right? :)

We got rained out one day and wind blow the next, but despite the crazy weather this family still rocked it! Thanks for the fun guys, I had a blast and you rocked!!
xoxo

Beautiful Bella!It just shouldn't be legal to be this HOT of a couple!

looks who's back

Well if you follow my blog then you might recognize this next little cutie. It's sweet Leilani and her family of course. ;)

She's a little older and more mobile now, but still as cute as ever.

Thanks for a super fun shoot guys...love ya!!

xoxo

lookin' GOOD

Yep, it must be hard to be this darn good lookin' and sweet too!!! Ok, well they make it look pretty easy I must say!

Nicole(aka the skin fairy)and I used to work together and I was so thrilled (and a bit nervous I must admit) when she asked me to photograph her beautiful family. What an awesome time it was...thanks guys!!

Enjoy your peek and many more coming your way soon!
xoxo

So cute it hurts huh?

up next...

One good lookin' family!!!!

It's just not fair....

to be this darn cute!!!

Really, I do have the cutest clients ever I must say!!

I mean look at these outfits, colors, hats and smiles. Just perfect!

There is really no better compliment than having a client return to you again and again to capture their families memories. So thank you my friend...I'm honored.

I really had a hard time choosing just a few pics to post cause I had so many favorites. Here are just a few for mom and dad.

Enjoy...

And the sweet reward for being good...
