the definition of childhood…..  blonde hair, blue eyes, dirty fingernails and freckles.

this is my little niece from Mississippi.  I loved getting to photograph her even if it was only for a few minutes. She was much too busy playing to give me more time.  ;)

here is a tiny sneak peek….. first thing that comes to mind when I look at this pic is “pretty little family” even though a family of 5 is not normally classified as “little”.  can you say “cool”. these kids were COOL! with a capital C.   (mom & dad too!! hee hee) so add that to extremely good looks and that equals = A PRETTY LITTLE FAMILY!!! wait til you get to see the images we created at the end of the session of baby girl. woo hoo! cute stuff.

I will post more soon, trying to stay focused on Christmas production. I just wanted to show an image or two when I can real quick. couple more weeks and we should be able to see the light of day. eek. My words to everyone will be “wake me when it’s 2010!” :0

night night.
