Christmas #2

I love that Little Miss K. has her front tooth hanging by a thread - it's been this way all week but she refuses to pop it out! She's been on a liquid diet but has recently decided that avoiding food all together will help avoid the pain she has when she eats! Yes, you could call me and enabler - our fridge is stocked with items that can be eaten through a straw! The part of me that want's to make an apple her only option just isn't convincing enough so I'll baby her and encourage and support her as much as she needs and let nature take its course. I think she's trying to wait until Christmas Eve so the Tooth Fairy and Father Christmas can come on the same night!

It's Here!

Christmas is finally here and we're all very busy trying to make it perfect for our family. I'm trying this year to spend a lot of time with the kids and just enjoy these precious moments! I'd love to update my blog today, so check back to see more of "Christmas with the Patterson's"!

O.K. So I just can't help myself...

I loved working with this family so just had to show some more!

"The Kiss"...

Especially for Mrs. M...and the last one for tonight...but many more to come Mummy!

Just the Beginning...

For Mrs. M...Here's another great shot of the three (hair down). Stay tuned for more!

Christmas Cards...

Choices, choices, choices! Mrs. M let me know what you think, I love all of them!

A few returning customers!!

This family puts on a fantastic St. Patty's party! I can't believe they're growing up so fast.

Check out the future Abercrombie models!

Some old friends of mine, Master A and his little brother, Master L.

Another great family...

The End Is Near!!

I'm so happy I haven't had the time to shoot my own family portrait yet (although I think subconsiously I was hoping to avoid it since my kids don't find me as cinvincing as all of your kids do!!). I love my job and can't imagine doing anything else. So, for allowing me the opportunity to see you laugh or cry tears of joy when you see your photographs I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You couldn't possibly imaging how good this makes me feel. I hope to see you all - and many, many more in 2008. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year to Yo All! Let me leave you with a few pics of good friends...

Sooo Much Fun!

Introducing Miss M, Miss. A and Master K. They genuinely liked and loved each other...reminding me of my niece and nephew back in Australia. Have you ever seen such a bright, happy smile?! I love these three! They really were a blast and Mummy, their manners were a perfect 10!

A couple of favorites...

Great news, I'm pretty much booked through the end of the year and Christmas card shoots are almost complete with only one afternoon of appointments left to do! If you need a full session I have one or two still available but they'll go quickly now with the last minute rush. I was showing my work to a wonderful group of (mostly) ladies last week and wanted to post a couple of pictures that I really love but haven't shown as far as i can remember. Here's Little Miss G and one of Miss. E....

Melt Mummy's heart!

Mummy M. Here are your delightful babies, sorry to keep you hanging. Look at those beautiful faces! And check out those eyes!!

Super Sneak Peek!

I know Mummy M. is so excited to see her pictures and I have to say that this is a "super sneak peek" because the images are only a couple of hours old! It was so hard to pick one to post, but keep in mind Mummy, I'll be saving the best for when we proof. Until then, enjoy!

A Signature Baby? Stay Tuned!

Let me introduce Master G. I am so in love with this little guy (I think the feeling's mutual). He has the most precious little everything and those eyes, Oh my gosh! I've been photographing Master G. since he was just a few weeks old and hopefully you'll be seeing more of him soon!

Finally!!!! My Spitfire Wants A Picture With His Big Sister...

I thought it was about time I tried to get "the sibling shot"! I have to say I thought this was going to be so hard given my past experience with Master R. (Little Miss K. has alwasys been very prefessional :-)) But I have to confess, it was really very easy! I guess once little boys get to a certain age, they do actually listen - if they want to!

Cutie in Colour!

My sweet sweet Little Miss. K. Colour was the focus of last week's Photo 160 assignment and even though this didn't make the cut for my assignment, it was still one of my favorite's. Thank you to my sewwt, sweet baby girl for being my biggest supporter and best model! I love you B.B.

Picture Perfect Family...

Mr. and Mrs S. your boys are adorable! Thank you for allowing me a glimpse into your family, the pleasure was mine! And, congrats on conquering the Christmas card picture so early!

Birdie!!

Only a bird has wings to fly like this. Hi Miss B. We love these pics of you in S.B. We'll be back soon!
