I Get To Have Fun Every Day!

How many people do you know get to have fun every day?  Although I've been really busy these last few months and I'm beyond exhausted...I am really loving life and what I've been up to.  Tonight I was honored to photograph a Christmas party with a bunch of kids.  Many of them have special needs (they are a group of kids with Down Syndrome and their families), and they all had special little personalities!  I fell in love with each and every one of them and hope to see them all again. 

The night was filled with fun for them. They got to make dough-art ornaments and reigndeer candy canes. They each got a new Christmas headband and candycane bracelet. They played with toys and their friends and to top it all off, Santa came with a bag full of gifts! What a fun, fun night! And what a wonderful group of families!

Carl

Okay, so I had a cancellation tonight, that made it possible for me to squeeze in a very special client...who was named after ME!!! 

Okay, not really! Carl is his middle name and he was named after some other very special people in his family. But, when his mommy was pregnant, I told her that she should name him Carl...After Me so that is what I'll always call him! Anyway, his mommy and I have been very close since we were his age. We're cousins. So this was a lot of fun tonight.

It has been way to long since we've seen each other, especially since we were spending just about every day together a couple of years ago. I love when I get to play (take pictures) with such a special little man and my cuzzie! We had a blast!

By the way, if youy need to know anything about Star Wars...He could tell you!

Fashion Diva

Today I had a totally fun shoot. Now this girl is amazing!  She can pull off just about any look and she has absolutely no modeling experience. Wow!!! Ali is a hair stylist in town whom my Mama has been dying to take pictures of, but was too chicken to ask...So, I did. Anyway, I'm so happy she agreed. These are just some of the shots from the day.  We had so much fun!!!
