Christmas mini's {Albuquerque family and kids photographer}

I hope everyone had a great Holiday! We sure did! We were able to spend time with family for 2 weeks!!  It was a lot of fun!  But, a lot of work when we got home (yes, I am ashamed to admit, when we go to Grandma's my workload is almost totally eliminated with all the willing help I get with the kids!)...unpacking...taking down all the Christmas stuff....unpacking....dejunking....unpacking, as well as trying to get everyone back into a rhythm.  The Hubby still has one more week off from school before it is back to the grind stone!  Only one more semester left!  Yippee!  The kids have loved having him around.  The other day S kept saying, "I just love having Dad at home!  He is so much fun to be with!"  I am really excited for some ideas I have floating around in my head for the business this year!  But, I figured before I get going on that I should probably get some of the photos from a mini session or two posted!  Enjoy!


I had the privileged of meeting this fun family last May just before their little girl turned 1.  It was so much fun to be able to photograph them again and see how much the little miss had changed over the last 6 months!  She really made me work to get a smile out of her.  It is amazing what a couple of pebbles does to start a friendship with a 1 year old! ;c)






















I wish every session could be as much fun as this one was with these two!  They are newly weds (almost had been married for a year) and they weren't afraid to show it ;cD  They kept me laughing the entire time...and even after when we met up with my family and went to dinner!  My kids absolutely loved Will, he is going to make a great Dad someday!







I shall not cannot, take credit for this posing!  Will saw the scarecrow and just felt a connection!  I don't know why this one didn't make the Christmas card....;c)









This next cute family you might remember from...well, a lot of places on my blog.  They were my VERY FIRST clients (that didn't know me already) and I have loved seeing them a few times a year and watching the kiddo's grow!  They are such a sweet family!  Oh, and not only are the kids SO well behaved, they are sooo nice to each other too!  HOW does Mom do that!?! ;cD





















Happy January everyone!
