It’s finally time to introduce the class of 2011!

. . .my children agree to allow me to photograph them.

As fast as she is adorable!

Possibly my final Class of 2010 senior. What a great year it has been!

I belong to a wonderful organization called Operation Love Reunited that provides portraits for the families of deployed military members. Recently, I was thrilled to be able to shoot maternity  portraits for Ashley while her husband served in Iraq. When their sweet baby girl was born, Daddy got to come home for a few weeks to see her and I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing him as well.

It’s Christmas eve. The presents are actually wrapped before midnight this year. Soon we will light candles and begin our celebrations. But I wanted to share some recent family sessions before I go. I had the pleasure of photographing many families this year for their holiday cards. Each one was unique and each one was a delight. Here are some of my favorite images.

Taylor is one of my senior reps and I shot her senior portrait  session(s) a while ago and have been dragging my feet on blogging about it. Not because I didn’t want too. But because I loved her session so much I couldn’t decide which images to showcase. I finally gave up and decided to create a slideshow of all of her images. There is a link to the slideshow at the end of this post.

Taylor is a talented dancer, singer, and actress. She had so many fun ideas for her session and it felt like a true calaboration. She has a very joyful personality that is absolutely contagious and it has been great working with her.

A couple of my favorites. . .

Going on the record to say I did nothing to enhance her eyes. They really are this blue!You can view a slideshow of Taylor by clicking here
