Merry Christmas Everyone!

I can't believe we are this close to Christmas. Am I ready? .....Not even close! Haven't even wrapped a gift yet. But it will get done. I know it will get done. Because I don't have a choice and it has to get done! I do wish I had another week to enjoy the holidays a little more though. The older I get the faster Christmas sneaks up on me. I absolutely LOVE this time of year, it's my favourite, and hate that it goes by so quickly. But I'm enjoying every minute of it. My plan is to put all little people to bed tomorrow night, grab myself a big mug of hot chocolate and wrap like a mad woman. Nothing like leaving things till the last minute, right?!?!

I hope all of you have as magical a Christmas as I know we'll have. I can't wait to see my four little faces light up when they see what Santa has left for them. Think of me at 5 am since this seems to be tradition that we're up at that insane hour on Christmas morning. Oh well.....there will be enough time to sleep someday. But now....there's memories to make. Sleep isn't as important as that!

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank all my amazing clients. I truly have the best clients. All of you make my job easy and enjoyable. I can't wait to see what 2010 brings!

And for those of you that didn't get our Christmas card this year here's my sweet faces I was talking about.

Cuddly

Here's a peek of my most recent newborn session. We kept things nice and toasty in the room ....and I mean toasty! for this little guy and after much perserverance, got him to sleep fairly soundly. Notice how I use the word 'fairly'. He did not want to leave warm arms. And I didn't want to put him down either. I would have gladly held him the entire afternoon but that wasn't what I was there for. A photographer just can't get those great images all while holding the newborn....although don't think I haven't tried! But see....persistence does pay off.
You will be seeing more of this little one over the next year. I am lucky enough to be photographing him every few months during his first year. I can't wait to compare this newborn shot to his images at a year old.
