Tis' the Season

to wish every one a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...
and for all the lights and pretty things to come out of storage to help us celebrate this special time of year...we found something new under our tree this year and thought I might share it :)





some how Santa's boots got under our tree!!!





we put our tree up and i realized that I have some new ornaments that really say it all for this time of year





"peace"





"jolly"





and of course the snowflake...really sums up the season for me :)





we have a tree every year but this year Shane let me pick out my Christmas present early and I got a new tree...I love it!!!
then we had some fun with the dogs this year and dressed them up in Christmas sweaters and took photos of them in front of the tree...
Bailey and Dexter :)











Bailey had had enough but Dexter is a ham...














We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Christmas!!!

Ella

I always love it when I get the chance to take photos of little ones...they usually don't sit still for very long and it takes awhile for them to warm up to you but that is half the fun. I love capturing them when they are just running around and being themselves.
There is nothing like watching a child warm up to you...all the smiles come out and then they can't get enough of the camera.
Ella was just like that...she didn't want anything to do with me at first and then after a bit she was all smiles and running around!!
We started in the living room at her Tia's house...in the cutest outfit to go with the cutest letters her Tia had made for this shoot.






Meet Ella and her mom Jade :)











once Ella warmed up to me then she was off and in the curtains playing peek-a-boo!!


























time for an outfit change and to another part of the room...but we always ended up back at the piano and the curtains :)





I got of lot of this cause she was so quick...LOL!!!





her Tia played the piano with her and I love how I captured this one shot...so precious








time for another outfit change and we braved the outside for a few of these shots








Jade and Ella thank you for the time I had to get to know you and Jane(Ella's Tia) for asking me to capture some fleeting moments for you :)

under the old bridge...I love this location














this is my favorite time of night to capture photos...the sun is just gorgeous and it makes such an artistic photo :)










Thanks Garrett for the smiles and for the fun :)
