Declin:::Baby

My friend Holly asked me to shoot her nephew Declin's 1 year birthday photos. He is such a cutie! Him and his father get along so much it is ridiculous. I had a make shift studio in the basement at the time, so don't mind the weird background things in some of the shots. Ha Ha. Declin has the most contagious little smile! I can't get over it.

Tate:::Godson!

I have had the honor of being a godmother. Tate Francis Marcotte turned two! His mother was my babysitter when I was very little and she decided to trust my sister and I to be her 4th child's godmothers. Who would have thought? But I've loved EVERY moment. This little man is my absolute favorite! He had a birthday in march and I went absolutely insane taking pictures. He's to adorable for his own good. Definitely a proud godmother. I love Tate to pieces!!! By the end of the night he had blown out his candle about 10 times and had enough chocolate to kill a horse.

Kellie & Mark::: Wedding.

Back in on New Years Eve I was able to shoot my first wedding! I was completely blessed and outrageously excited. I've known Kellie and Mark for a good three or four years before any of this happened. So when they asked of course I excitedly said YES!!!

I'm sure you remember them from the previous engagement shoot. They are TOO adorable. I was so happy with the outcome of the pictures. They had the brides daughter Taylor and her band play during the reception. So much fun! :]

:::Claire:::

My friend Claire wanted to do a shoot. Of course I agreed! Everything was gorgeous and white outside, which made it interesting and a challenge for me. It turned out wonderful, and made me extremely happy.

AHHH love these, She is so beautiful. This shoot was so much fun, and sooo cold. It was definitely worth it though.

:::Christmas:::

The past few years my family was invited to our friends house for a huge Christmas get together that included an ugly sweater contest, guy baking contest with the girls as judges, and the 12 days of christmas with new words and motions.

They have the BEST food I get every year and we all have a blast. This year we didn't have an ugly sweater contest, but we managed to have fun none-the-less. I look forward to this every Christmas. I love being able to have Christmas more than once in a day, and with both friends and family. Here are a few pictures I took of the night:

This was during our attempt and version of the 12 days of christmas.

And here comes the mens baking contest!! SO GOOD!

My dad made this chocolate-orange cheesecake.

Tracey, the hostess. Such a great cook and person, loveee her!

Love this tradition, I am so happy to be a part of it.
