This weekend I took a day off to hang out with my kids, Andy and my mom. We decorated the tree, drank hot cocoa and watched White Christmas with Bing Crosby. We had a fire going in the fireplace and it was a very relaxing day. I really enjoyed myself. What holiday traditions do you have?
Saturday was fun too. I met with Aaron and Amanda about their wedding. They haven't decided to use me (yet, I hope) but it was a really good meeting. I also met with Jessica. She was a bridesmaid in Sara and Matt's wedding. She and Jon are getting married next August and I'm very excited they chose me. YAY!!!
I also got to photograph one of my fave families---the Overmyers. I met them while photographing UALC's preschool. Kara didn't want to smile so I bribed her with gum. We've been buds ever since. I've photographed 3 out of the 5 kids at preschool now. I was greeted by a running hug from Grant at his school this fall. What an awesome feeling!
This is our 3rd or 4th year for holiday photos and I love how Alicia always tries to do something different every year. Their personalities always seem to shine through in their photos. This year it was sweaters and scarves-a great look, I think. I designed a couple of different cards for them. Which one do you like?
Greg and Alicia have been married nearly 20 years so I couldn't resist giving them a taste of an engagement session. I tried to convince them to have a photo session of just the two of them next summer---just like newlyweds. Hope they take me up on it.
After photographing outside, we went inside for a few photos of the family around the piano. Kelsey was playing and I was very impressed. They all sang along to a tune from Wicked and WOW, then I was really blown away! Talented family for sure. Afterwards, I got a few hugs. I got out to my car to drive home and again I was struck by how truly blessed and fortunate I am. This is a wonderful family and I am so happy and grateful that I get to call them clients and friends. How many photographers get hugs from their clients? How many photographers feel like they are always working with friends? That has been the greatest gift about having dk photographic---the people. I've seen beautiful places, dresses, etc... but I will always be most impressed by the people I've met along the way. Thank you all so much for coming into my life.

Wow. Your photography continues to inspire me in my quest to become better myself. In answer to your question, if I may say, I like the first card. :) I hope you and your family are enjoying a lovely holiday season!
The first card was the one they chose. Good choice!
