97 Days 'til Christmas
Friday, September 19, 2008 at 01:26PM Like you needed that reminder now. It's not even Fall yet but somehow 97 days doesn't seem like that far away when you say it out loud. I've always loved the anticipation of the holidays. As I've gotten older I've grown to love more the time up until Christmas more than Christmas day. 'Cause once the presents are open and we've eaten our fill, the buzz is over. The prettiness comes down and we have to wait a whole year again. But I actually LOVE Halloween. Not for the candy but more for the dressing up, the decorating, the excitement that the girls get waiting until dark.
If you are thinking about a session, I have some weekeday spots available and 1 Saturday available in Nov. That's it until after Christmas. I may do a few December sessions but they will NOT be ready before Christmas. So email me now.
I've mentioned before that I've been getting most of my clients through referrals. These next lovelies are friends of my friend Jen. I actually went to high school with Mom but she and Jen graduated a couple of years ahead of me. Yvette was home visiting from England and wanted pictures before she went back. Thank you again, Yvette. I had so much fun, you can't even imagine.
This is big sister Megan. She was a dream. I can't tell you how much fun I had with her because she was workin' it for me. And don't you love the hat? I think she and I could have kept going for hours.
This is little sister Emily. She was typical of most 20 month olds. I had to follow her around quite a bit. But she hammed it up a bit, too.
And I think this is one of my faves ever. Grandma came to help out behind the scenes and didn't want to have her picture taken. But check her! Megan helped style her up with her hat. She's workin' it, too!
And one more because I can't resist a picture of sisters together.
