I almost had the opportunity to shoot Greg and Heather’s birth, but baby girl Kate made an early appearance.  But that’s okay as 9 days later she visited me at the studio and had her fresh photos taken.  What a DOLL.  She is also the little sister to an older sister and two older brothers.  What a beautiful, beautiful family!

I thank them all for coming to the studio and for putting up with our very undone studio with our temporary backdrop. . . well, temporary everything.  Hopefully next time they visit me we’ll have sparkling new white walls. . . hoping it won’t even be recognizable! A reason to visit me, right Greg and Heather!?  Really, though, I hope you do visit me a lot.  I really enjoyed having you and your children.  And Greg, it was so great catching up with you!  Thank you so much and happy holidays to you and yours!!  <3 ~ Val

These sisters I hold close to my heart as they are the daughters of one of my dearest friends.  They are not just beautiful on the outside as you’ll see in their photos, but on the inside as well.  They each are clearly their own individual with amazing personalities that draw you in to them.  I love them each for different reasons…Kristin for her little girl innocence and head-strong personality, Alyssa for her love of animals and kind-loving soul, Marissa for her caring heart and quiet wisdom (I could learn a lot from that girl), Allison for her leadership capabilities and ability to be a good friend.  The list could go on and on.  I can say my friend has done a great job as a mother.  I only hope I can raise my own children as well-rounded and respectful as she has.  Not only are they individually spectacular little women, but they are together the strongest set of sisters.  Nothing will ever tear these girls apart, and you will see that bond in these pictures as well.  Thank you, L, for letting me shoot your girls.  Love you, love them.

It’s Christmas season which means for me, and probably for you, too, that there’s a to-do list piled high waiting to be done.  I’m happy to say my list is dwindling. (Yay!)  As we all are, I’m really looking forward to spending time with my family.  We started out the month of December with some major sicknesses and thankfully that’s dwindling off now, too.  (Yay again!)  Now onto cookies-making, letters to Santa and traditional movies like A Christmas Story   But before I get too into family stuff (oh!, like also doing my own Christmas cards; I got all my client Christmas cards done!) I wanted to share a few more sessions from the past few weeks.

Meet The Henkel Family.  A really neat family with the most a-dorable little boy named Jackson.  I learned a lot about him, like he loves deer and sticks!  He melted my heart every second of the shoot.  See for yourself…such a gorgeous family. Thanks again, guys!  Really looking forward to future shoots with you.    xo ~ Val
