In so many ways, big.

These big brown beautiful eyes…

and this great big smile…

a whole lotta big lovin’ goin’ on…

and one great big attitude from this little canine…

big on style…

a big daddy. yes, this girl is gonna be tall…

And big time. I’m not going to tell you who this is [any Vikings fans out there?]. Because I like for my clients to enjoy a certain degree of privacy [linebacker, first round draft pick] and anonymity [Iowa Hawkeyes alum]. So I certainly wouldn’t want to leak any names [#52].

Just one last photo…

Thanks so much [G] family! I had a blast hanging out with you at your beautiful home!

So it’s Saturday night (well, technically Sunday morning - 2am!) and I’ve been lying in bed for almost two hours, wide awake. I’m totally jazzed, because I just signed up today for learnfest ‘09 - a workshop put on by four most amazing, talented photographers. Audrey Woulard, Tamara Lackey, Laura Novak and Lena Hyde. It takes place in April, at Château Élan Winery & Resort - just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Three days and three nights. No kids. At a winery. And surrounded by people who are every bit as passionate about photography as myself.

sigh.

I’m on cloud nine.

Ok, can this little girl be any cuter? Seriously. She was ever so receptive to my bribes for photos. Smarties work wonders, you know. The black ones. And the pink ones too. Oh wait, there are no black Smarties? Well, don’t tell her!

And look at this momma and her beautiful bump. They’re expecting number two in a couple weeks. She absolutely glowed. Gorgeous. I met them at their beautiful house in Minneapolis to take photos - I can’t wait to come back and meet their new little babe in a few weeks!

Everyone have a good Halloween? We sure did. Elliott is our little Halloween baby - he turned one yesterday! Happy birthday little man! The kids came home with some serious candy last night. I’m talking major poundage. And we didn’t even go that far - up two blocks and then back down. I guess people were being overly generous since there seemed to be a lack of trick-or-treaters. The worst part? I can’t even pilfer their candy, since chocolate is a no-no for me. Migraines. Tragic.

So, on to business…

If you would like to order holiday cards or photos intended for holiday gifts, the deadline is November 30th. Anything ordered before November 30th will be delivered by December 21st. Any orders placed after November 30th will be delivered after January 1st, unless a 50% rush charge is applied.

If you would like to schedule a session in time for the holidays, please contact me asap, as I only have a couple openings left.

Here’s the birthday boy…
