Welcome Baby Lennea

Welcome to the world sweet baby Lennea! You are already so loved! Congratulations Christy, Perry & PJ!

Sweet little newborn...

This is my precious little neighbor. While she's not the youngest baby I've photographed, she is the smallest. She's now a month old, but just a little over 7lbs. I just had to share how adorable she is!!

New Orleans...as a tourist

My friend's daughter has been begging me to take her down to the french quarter to get some New Orleans style photography. I'm really glad that we went today! It's kind of fun to be a tourist in your own town. I guess that's kind of like what being stationed at all these cool places really is...just an extended vacation.

Anyhow...I hope you enjoy the photos :)

Marine Corps Band - Toys for Tots, New Orleans

I almost forgot to blog about this :-O These photos are from Simon's concert with the Marine Forces Reserve Band New Orleans. It was truly a wonderful performance filled with awesome music! The kids loved the show, too! Don't miss this next year!!

Oh...first let me show you our little tree. Not big...we have a tiny living room...but I still love it :).

Before we left for the concert, I made the kids pose for some photos because they were dressed so cute! I can't believe Andrew actually went along with the matching shirts. I doubt I'll get away with this next year so I had to have the photos for proof :). He did protest smiling because all his friends at the park were watching him!

This is my favorite shot....it's SO them!

Now onto the show...

They had some really cool lighting...

How fun is this shot...

Here's Simon. I love seeing the motion in his sticks!

This was part of the drum special...

Love this!

Ohh...another one of my favorite shots from the night!

Okay...love this one, too :)

Here comes Santa!!

A friend of ours in action...

Catching up...

Edited to add: The staff photo from the preschool.

Wow...Has December been busy, and I just thought I would take a break this month. :)! I'll definitely need some down time after Christmas ;-).

I'm pretty far behind on keeping the blog updated. So this may be a little overload, but I wanted to make sure and share anyways.

The first set is from a quick session that I shot this afternoon at a neighbor's house.
Look at this huge grin!!

My favorite...i think :)

Mom's favorite...

Remember these twins? Aren't they just adorable!!

I love how fun this shot is!!

Another Christmas card shoot...

Seriously...can it get any cuter? :)

These are from my first Santa photos.

And here he is...

Any readers out there who would like me to blog your Santa photo so that you can share online? I'll blog the first 3 request I get. Just add a comment here.

Okay...I feel better now that I've got everything online :) Merry Christmas!! Don't forget to take time to slow down and enjoy it!

Snow in Belle Chasse?!!

Wow...I can hardly believe it, but it's actually snowing outside right now! How crazy is that?! Hannah got all dressed up and had to slide down the slide a few times :).

Enjoy the snow!

Just wanted to let you guys know that I have some awesome new music on my site! I'm super excited about it so go check it out :)

Think you've heard it before? You have. Turn on TLC and you'll be sure to see the commercials that advertise their family night with John & Kate Plus 8. I can't believe that I'm able to use it, and I'm so excited!! Hope you all love it, too!

Good friends...

It's time again to say goodbye to some of our great neighbors and friends. I first met Nikki last year when her husband was deployed. It was nice getting to spend so many days with her and watch the kids play together. I got to watch her little boy grow from a little baby to a curious toddler. Hannah is going to miss Destiny so much. They have a friendship that reminds me of sisters....sometimes they play really well & other times they fuss :). Anyhow...as sad as it is to say bye, I know they have some great times to look forward to at their new duty station. We wish you all the best! Much love :)
