Sophie, Thomas, and Their Two Sons

Jason met Sophie and Thomas’s oldest son for his first birthday and photographed their family again when their son turned two.  With kids, time goes by quickly and he is now three years old and a big brother!  Little brother joined their family just a few days before Jason went to their house for a session.  He took some newborn pictures of little brother and three year pictures of big brother.  They ended the night with the boys joining Thomas on his Harley which I think is so cute!  Congratulations on your new baby boy Sophie, Thomas, and big brother!

Shelly and Chris’s Two Boys

Shelly and Chris’s oldest son has changed so much since Jason last saw him a year ago.  Last year he still looked like a baby but now he looked much older and bigger!  He is two years old and now a big brother!  Shelly and Chris have a second son who is 6 months old.  Jason was happy to meet him and see the whole family again.  It was a fun session and the boys are adorable!

A 9 Year Portrait Session with a Lego Maniac

His name may not be Zack, but he’s still a lego maniac!  Before those of you who are too young to get the 80′s pop culture reference ask about it and make me feel old, here’s the you tube link for the commercial.

Andrea and Eric’s oldest just turned nine!  He is growing up to be such a smart and creative kid, and a wonderful big brother too.  Jason photographed him at 6 years, 7 years, and 8 years and they went to the park for his 9 year session.  He brought a few of his favorite things with him and all of them were leg0 related!

We love all of Andrea and Eric’s kids, and Andrea and Eric aren’t too bad themselves:).  We are so happy to have them as friends and to see their kids grow as the years go on.

Merry Times this Christmas Season

Every year we have a Christmas party and invite all of our past and present clients as a thanks for allowing us to be part of your lives.  Every year we have so much fun and this year was no exception!  Thanks so much to everyone who joined us.  We enjoyed a yummy holiday dinner from Catering by the Family.  There were Christmas crafts and activities for the kids.  Santa even came by and took pictures with everyone!  Before he left he read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas and lead a sing-a-long of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  We had a terrific time and felt the Christmas spirit as we celebrated the season with everyone.  Merry Christmas!

The instructions on this tree say it can grow to be 40-80 feet tall!  We are going to try to plant it and see what happens:

We had elves helping the kids with coloring pages, letters to Santa, and other Christmas crafts such as picture frames and ornaments:

Every year the hot chocolate station is a huge hit!  We have whipped cream, marshmallows, and chocolate chips as toppings:

I didn’t do my Christmas baking yet but the desserts from the store were still yummy:

Balloon twisting and face painting!

Instead of reindeer and Christmas trees, the boys asked for lightsabers and swords:

Santa arrives!  The kids looked so amazed and excited:

Darth Maul meets Luke Skywalker:

As my friend Wendy said, nothing says Christmas like Darth Maul!

A pretty elf with her elf hat:

Yummy (and messy!) food:

The Darth Mauls and their lightsabers:

Pictures with Santa are always a blast!  Some kids are really happy to be with Santa, some are really NOT happy, and some could care less:)  Here are some smiles to start off with:

Just hanging with Santa:

And then the classic Santa crying pictures!  In this one, I love how she is checking him out and not liking what she sees:

Bet you can’t guess where her mom is standing:

1 out of 2 isn’t too bad!

Matching Santa hats:

More pictures with Santa:

Santa and Rudolph:

Santa isn’t just for kids!

Santa reading “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” to the kids:

When the story was done, this little girl walked up to Santa and asked him to read it to her again.  So sweet!

Thanks again to everyone who joined us, and Merry Christmas!

Andrea and Eric’s Youngest Turns Three!

Andrea and Eric have the most adorable kids!  We love that we get to be there as their kids grow and capture those memories year after year.  They are truly an amazing family!  Jason has photographed their youngest for her newborn session, 6 month session, one year session, and two year session.  She just turned three and she had her annual session with Jason.  Aren’t her big, happy smiles so precious?!  Happy Birthday to a terrific three year old!
