My Family, My Blessing

2008 was a fabulous year at Andrea B. Photography. I feel so BLESSED to meet each of my clients and get to share a brief memory with each of you while your child grows.

Since I see all of your photos, I thought I would share some photos of my own family. Even though my place is DEFINITELY behind the camera, it is important for me to take some time away and capture my own little blessing. She is always so full of giggles and laughter. I never knew being a mom and a wife would impact my life in such a manner.

Some of you MAY NOT realize is that my daughter is my biggest fan. She sits on the computer and looks at each of your photos. If your child is making a funny face, she tries to copy it and then dies laughing. If I have taken newborn photos of your child, she has sat and starred at your baby in awe and wonderment.

I just wanted to share a little bit of my life with each of you, as I have shared some brief moments with each of you over the last year.

Happy Holiday, God Bless and I hope to see each of you in 2009.

Last Session of 2008

This is MY FINAL SESSION OF 2008 and I couldn't have had a better client than this beautiful, loving, family of three.

Miss M. was so gorgeous. BEAUTIFUL hair and skin, I had so much fun capturing her. She started off as the DREAM baby. I was thinking- WOW, this will be a breeze. Then Dad came home on his lunch break and Miss M. showed Daddy who was the boss. Several "explosions" and outfit changes later, Daddy was so dirty that he had to take a shower. These episodes left four women snickering and giggling. It was definitely a memorable session for Dad!!!!

What a beautiful famly and what a precious gift.

Cheeky Little Guy

Poor Mr. P was not feeling well during his session. His nose was running and his cheeks were flushed, but he still did a wonderful job of posting for the camera.

He also LOVES my new green chair, check out his thumbs up on the purchase!!!!

What a cutie, little, cheeky guy!!!!

CUTIES!!!!!

I have fallen so far behind on my blog because of the CRAZY holiday rush!!!!

I could not go without posting some photos of my session with these two cuties!!!! Big sister was a little shy, but little brother was all about having his picture taken. He kept calling me CUTIE and in response I would call him CUTIE.

I LOVE his Star Wars costume too- Isn't that what being a kid is all about!!!!

A Chilly Session

Poor Mr. L was just a little cold for his outside session. It started out great, but after missing his nap and being cold, things started to get to him. Poor baby!!!! At least we got some great shots of him before things went downhill.

Giggles

This was my second shoot with these two cuties!!! This time around went a little better and the girls just laughed and laughed!!!! What were they laughing at? NOT ME- but their Dad!!!! Thank goodness for Daddy making funny noises. The girls smiled and laughed and we got some fabulous photos of them together!!!!

Their reward for good behaviour were some Christmas lollipops. What cuties!!!!

Little Miss Bashful

Before my session with these two sisters, their Mom and I discussed how big sister is very shy. I came all prepared with candy and my froggy, but I was pleasantly surprised that Miss A. warmed up to me.

For some reason she thought I was pretty funny. When I would make silly noises, she would slam her eyes shut and give me this HUGE smile (photo #4). I thought it was so adorable. We also were able to get some shots of little sister before she fell asleep. What a beautiful crew!!!!
