Whew… it feels like it’s been forever since I’ve blogged!  Don’t be mad… I’m just so ridiculously busy it’s insane!  I have been out of town EVERY WEEKEND this month and I’m going to be out of town AGAIN this weekend shooting another wedding.  I’m exhausted just thinking about all the traveling I’ve been doing!  The most exciting trip by far was the one we just got home from… a super quick hop over to Kansas to visit Ben’s sister Kate and her husband Jon.  They just had a brand new baby girl Charlotte, which means I’m an aunt!  I know I’m already a mom but there’s something totally different and exciting about being an aunt.  Maybe it’s the fact that I can play with and ooh and ah over how adorable she is, but the poopy diapers aren’t my responsibility

Since she was only a week and a half old when we visited I was able to take some awake shots AND some darling sleepy newborn shots of her.  I just love them!  Here are my favorites (although it was SO hard to pick, she’s the second cutest baby girl ever)

When I first started shooting she was so wide awake and curious. Don’t you just love her eyes?!

I love this look she’s giving her momma… sigh. She’s soooo cute!

After a little milk break she decided to get sleepy and I love these ones!

Kate and Jon CONGRATS! I couldn’t be happier, honestly! I love your little baby girl and I am so happy to finally have gotten a chance to meet her! Yay for baby cousins!

If you haven’t already guessed I have a bit of a weakness for twins (being the mom of twins myself) so I was beyond thrilled to get to take some 6 month portraits for little baby girl H and her brother little baby boy H. I can’t believe the eyes on little miss H, they really are amazing! Lots of unbelievable cuteness will be coming your way soon… here’s a sneak peek

Happy Holidays!! I have been meaning to post this for several days now when I left town for the holidays but things got a little bit hectic and I didn’t get a chance. In case you’ve emailed me in the last few days I want to apologize, I’ve been out of the office and out of town and I actually won’t be back until the new year. I hope that you all have been enjoying a safe and happy holiday season, I certainly have!

I also wanted to share a few quick updated photos of my favorite little ones, these guys turned 3 months yesterday, I can’t believe how time flies! They are both smiling up a storm which melts my heart and I can’t believe how big they are getting! The trick with twin portraits I’ve discovered is that I can never catch them smiling at exactly the same moment… maybe next time

Anyhow… without further ado here are my Christmas cuties… 3 months old and oh so big!
