Since I started taking photos as more than just a hobby, I have had a few families stick with me through it all.  My “style” has changed for the better over the years and become so much more consistent, thank goodness, and these people have stayed by me through that.  They loved their photos years ago, but I am sure they love their photos even more within the past year or two.  This beautiful girl you see, Clara, is a part of one of those families!

The title of this post kinda says it all.  Yes, I waited until January to post about my family’s vacation because I totally forgot to blog it.  Whoops!  I definitely gave myself a pat of the back for even taking my camera out during our vacation, though, because I am notorious for not using my real camera and just using my phone.  While the iPhone has an excellent camera, nothing compares to real quality images right from my Nikon.

I have a beautiful little girl to show y’all today!  I think almost all my blog posts for the next 6 weeks will be newborns.  Kidding….kind of.  There are a lot of babies that have been born or are about to be born soon who need to grace the pages of the CGP blog.  I am SO excited about this, though, because it means I get alllll the baby snuggles.  Could I ask for a better job?!  

You all are in for a treat with this session!  I love newborns – no secret there!  I love getting to snuggle these little angels.  There is something about a home session that makes it even more cozy.   Babies love it, too!  There is less movement and they are definitely “messed with” less.  Plus, there are more cuddles with home sessions (at least, that is my experience).  Elizabeth’s session was no different!  

Virginia weather has really gone all out this winter.  She is not holding back very much!  We have had some of the coldest days I can remember, which sounds silly to some people, but not for those of us who have lived here our entire lives.  We aren’t use to the air feeling like it is cutting through your skin without the wind even blowing!  Plus, it has already snowed multiple time before the middle of January?!  I do love the snow though, so I’ll take it.

We had quite a few firsts for us in our business this year and one of those was our first Christmas wedding!!  We love Christmas and definitely think it is the perfect time of year to celebrate love and marriage!  It is basically straight out of a Hallmark movie and we all know that I am all about that life.

Christmas Eve is tomorrow, people!!  That came quick, fast, and in a hurry!  I really wanted to get this session up on the blog before Christmas though because I just love it and it is the perfect wintery, maternity session!  

The title of this post may be deceiving because the new home is still under construction but that wasn’t going to stop the Flagg Family!  Dan & Jamie have been building their new home for months now and are definitely excited for it to be done early this spring.  However, they wanted their family Christmas […]

This year has been a year full of people I know adding new additions to their family!  A lot of those are babies (which helps with my baby fever because I can snuggle them then give them right back) but the rest have been PUPPIES!  Who doesn’t love puppies?!?  If you raised your hand to that question, then we need to evaluate your reasoning because I find this very hard to believe.  Puppies instantly make you smile and the puppy that the Ream’s Family added to their clan does just that!

Isn’t it strange how so many of us love fall so much and can’t wait for it to arrive, yet it just goes by SO FAST!?  Don’t get me wrong, Christmas is my favorite time of year so I am glad that is here but fall went too quickly. I love the changing leaves, but, before we knew it, they had all fallen.  We were lucky to get these last mini sessions during one of the last beautiful fall weekends of the season.
