little miss is one! she was on the go, adorable, and eager to smile.

the things we (including myself) do to our children for a pic……. the girls were such troopers it was FREEZING cold outside, they took turns running inside to warm up, and they still managed to look adorable. great job!

can you believe these eyes? he is going to be a major heartbreaker.

i was looking back through shoots and realized i had a few at the end of year i had yet to post, so here you go.
the Jacksons were so fun to photograph, quite the jokers.

i can’t believe my baby boy is two! he will always be my baby but my friends have informed my that he is officially a toddler, much to my dismay. this little guy is the light of my life. i never thought i could be so in love. we had a great morning just him and i, after dropping his sisters off for school we had a couple of hours to play before we picked hailey up from preschool so we went to the alley to take some pics and were very excited to see huge trucks to touch and admire. we then ventured to the place where the “big tires” are and the library to pick out some new books. after naps we went to the park with some friends to chow down some zucchini muffins and sing, “happy birthday”. the last pic shows what a fab mom i am, the dessert i planned didn’t really work out so thanks to jello pudding cups we still enjoyed yet another round of “happy birthday” with the family.

this pair of cousins adore each other, it was really fun to watch them interact during a holiday shoot.

one of my new year’s resolutions is to take more pics of my own kids, i know i have mentioned it before but i am horrible at photographing my own little guys, yes its sad, but when things are busy and i’m doing shoots i don’t think of coming home and picking up the camera again, but my friend kim has inspired me, she has taken fab pictures of her boys in everyday situations. so here i go this year will be the year that my family is documented in everyday life, the true grahams. i am going to shoot us being us, ourselves, jammies and all.

here you go the first installment – sat am chris found a new guitar to play, worth rockin out to.
does anyone care about hailey and ty making pancakes? this ones for the grandmas. they love to stand on their learning tower and help cook.

check out this adorable babe, don’t you just want to eat him up?

it was FREEZING cold the day we did this shoot, they were well prepared with hot cocoa, and hand warmers but yikes, freezing. thanks for being so tough! you look fab in the snow! i love the pics of miss e with her parents just having a good time.

JoAnn received a gift certificate for her birthday for an extended family session, she was so excited to have a picture with all of the grandchildren. I have photographed this family a couple of times before and have fallen in love them, they are so sweet.
