{ Winter wonderland....}

The Christmas spirit has decended up the studio and we are gearing up for
our annual children's Christmas special.....this year is a woodland theme.

Picture it, greenery, woodland creatures and a roaring campfire...well maybe not roaring,
we are photographing small children and it's safety first!


Pretty cute...for a squirrel.



It's not to late to sign up for our Annual Children's Christmas Special!

Your little ones will love to share the wonder of the season and play with our woodland friends! We have a few spots left and they are first come first serve, so call the studio ASAP to make sure you get scheduled! Our Winter Wonderland is set to blow into the studio this Saturday, November 1st (aka Elizabeth's birthday ~ I will be 31 and I am not afraid to say it.."31" Stop in on Saturday to share some hugs, laughs and cake!) The day will be a smashing good time!


This special always makes the cutest, cuddliest most fabulous Christmas Cards ever. That's right, you read it right....the most fabulous ever!!! And don't forget the deadline for one of a kind custom cards is November 20th, after that you will need to pick from one of my pre-designed cards, equally adorable but not custom :(

{ Reveal yourself....}

marlisa11....



Everytime we post new images in our client gallery, you are "johnny on the spot" at viewing them! Don't get me wrong, we don't mind a bit...in fact it is flattering that you enjoy viewing the images...but we are dying to know who you are!!! So marlisa11....if you tell us who you are we will plan a lunch date for the three of us (or 4 if our lovely assistant Sarah is in that day) and next time you have a session we will give you an 8x8 collage, we have questions for you....and would love to get to know you better!

{ Do you think I forgot...}

about our Christmas Card drawing? Well, I didn't...I have just been swamped desinging Christmas cards. It's that time of year again already! So anyway, back to the drawing. I used the number generator from our friends at random.org and the lucky number was.....

2
Katie Craft you have won 25 of the cutest Christmas cards this side of the Mississippi! Congrats!
P.S.....funny thing, truth be told number 2 was not the first number the random generator picked. The first number was #1. This was funny to me because 1. Kimberly was the first to leave a message and sorry my friend, but you can't win and 2. I received an e-mail from a client/friend saying they didn't want to be first because number 1 never gets picked! Ha!

{ two times the joy....}

two times the dirty diapers.... Look at these babies! I would change two times the dirty diapers if I got twice the hugs, kisses, grins and giggles from these little ones!

Oh, could you just squish, hug, kiss and snuggle these two all day?


I am working on a birth announcement for these two and just had to share a few with you. I would be selfish to keep these all to myself (and their mommy agreed, everyone needs to see her babies!)




Since I am in a sharing kind of a mood....share a story, thought or little diddy for a time when your little (or not so little one) brought joy into your life.


Let me share an example....in my family we sing....ALOT...the other day on my way to work Tate and I were in the car (side note, I was feeling a little down in the dumps that day and not really paying much attention to Tate, I was into my own thoughts) the Crosby Stills and Nash song "Teach your Children Well" came on the radio. For some reason Tate loves that song and from the backseat I hear Tate say,"Sing it Mama...you sing so good!" Ok, I don't sing well at all, but I sang my heart out with Tate in the background singing "teach your children, teach your children" over and over. I remember thinking, he is so perfect for me and how could I ask for any more? It's amazing that God knows our hearts desires and sends us just what we need. Tate is just what my husband and I need. He would probably drive others mad with his constant singing and talking and silliness, but he is perfect for us.


So there is a little tidbit about Tater. Share a story about your little one (or not so little one) and we will share something with you.....
