This sweet little beauty is one of my favorite models. She knows how to work it! Remember her from this fun session? My son Noah was so disappointed he wasn’t included in this session too! Look at this girl…can you blame him?

Grace turns One! {children}
As of last year, my Thanksgivings are no longer associated with the thought of which friend will take pity and invite our little Canadian family over. Or once I’m there, how much food I can eat before having to roll away.
A year ago Thanksgiving, my friend and her husband welcomed teeny tiny little Grace into the world…2 lbs and 13 oz tiny. This little fighter has come a long way since then. It has truly been a year of miracles and blessings. Click here to see how big she’s grown since I photographed her in February!
I love this fiery little beauty and her spirit. Happy Birthday Grace and Happy Thanksgiving to the rest of you!
the extended ‘S’ family
When I photographed the extended ‘S’ Family last year, there were 7 grandkids. This year, 8!
For the little ones, today was just another day of scrambling to get a spot on Grandma or Grandpa’s lap. (And to think I was worried about where to put everyone!) But for the parents, today was frantic shouts of “Watch out for the mud!”, Stay away from that duck!”, “Pull down your dress!” and “Get those fingers out of your nose!” So many adorable little personalities, and I just love them all!
Baby Idol Winner turns 1!
You’re looking at a local celebrity right here people! 2010 Yuba-Sutter County Baby Idol winner has turned 1! Not only is Gabriel really, really, really ridiculously good looking but he has the sweetest disposition. We’re glad to see he’s stayed grounded through all his fame in the past year.

I was so thrilled to hang out with Elizabeth again and meet her precious little baby sister Annabelle. What a peaceful little angel!
