i had so much fun with this pretty little girl last weekend. she loved my pettiskirt!

i figured i should kick off the brand new blog with a brand newborn sneak peak. this gorgeous little girl melted my heart this week. she was so sweet, as was her big brother who blew me away with his communication skills and charm. the last time i saw him he was turning one and now he is such a big boy.

and i have just one word for this next picture! PERFECTION! i was a little nervous about getting a newborn and an under two year old together in a picture. (i have my finger’s crossed to get one exactly like it in june of jack and his new brother.  i have a spot above my fireplace just waiting for a huge canvas.)

thanks so much, cristy! you and justin make some really cute babies!

my best friend from high school and her husband drove in a snow storm from chicago to get maternity pictures taken by me last weekend! i think i will take that as a compliment. i only wish i could be the lucky one to do the newborn photos!

thanks sarah and brett! i can’t wait to meet the little one!

i have been wanting to get a few inside pictures of jack since i did his two-year pictures last fall. he doesn’t sit still for long, but i managed to snap a few when i had my backdrop set up last week.

and my personal favorite that my wonderful husband took:

i wanted to put this tiny little girl in my pocket and bring her home with me. she was absolutely perfect for her session! it was like she knew how to pose. i told mom she had better watch out for when she gets older! they are going to have to lock her up!

i think this smile is when i decided i wanted to keep her!

i love the attitude in this next one.

and i think i may tape this picture to my fridge after i have this baby in june. look at how awesome mom looks one week post partum.

cale couldn’t let his cousin janie show him up last week. everybody who loved how chubby she is will really love this smiley little guy!

and don’t worry, dad, he did not like the baby legs!

i can’t believe how fast time is flying by. it is almost the end of february and this little sweetheart is already 6 months old. i love getting to see my newborns again and again as they get bigger.

this tiny little peanut was only 4 days old for our session! she did a great job!

thanks “p” family for patiently waiting for your sneak peak! i hope you love them!

i am very appreciative for the amazing response to my contest! whether you did some referring or became a fan, thank you! you all rock!

after all of the sorting and counting, i put the names in a random (i pinky promise) name generator on random.org  and the winner is…

MOE COBB (i have a feeling he and wife, angela teamed up together). moe had35 referrals and angela had 175. wow! i think baby hayden is getting close to 6 months, so the timing is perfect!

because i am so nice, i also decided to draw one more name for a $100 print credit to be used with the purchase of a session in 2010 and that winner is:

NIKKI CARMOUCHE

thanks again everybody!

jack’s youngest cousin is 6 months old already. he loves baby janie and is constantly kissing her on the head when they are together.

don’t you want to just eat her up?
