{FAMILY} "C" Family...

This lovely family was so kind to come out today the weekend of Thanksgiving week since I had to reschedule them because my family decided last minute that we are traveling to some warmer weather! Anyhow this family came beautifully dressed and ready to go except the weather decided to be one of the worst conditions I've photographed in! It was sooo COLD and ontop of it, it was sooo WINDY! I felt really bad for those little one's! It was unbearable and probably just so miserable for them. Funny how the images do not show how bad out it actually was! So sorry to the "C" family for the weather and having cut short your session but your kids are absolutely adorable! You'll see more of this baby girl later in the month when we make up for today and do a "Mini" with her :) Here's a couple shots of what we did get today!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Wishing all my clients, family, friends, supporters and future clients a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Here are a couple shots of my two loves... they are the reason I ventured into the world of photography!

{JANUM and Ryah Sofia}

"JANUM Designs" and a headband for "Ryah Sofia"! Love both products and love the colors! I feel so honored and lucky to be working with such talented designers.

Definitely stop by Janum and Ryah Sofia Headbands and check out their newest designs! Makes a great gift for the special girl in your life this holiday season!

{CHILDREN} M & A

These GORGEOUS sisters belong to my long time best friend and when she asked me last minute to do pics of her girls of course I said yes to these angel faces! Once again the location was at my parents new house and what a convience for me to bring my kids along and say, "Go inside your Nana & Papa's house while I work outside", LOL! It was such a freezing cold day in CA. and I was dressed in pants, a sweatshirt, Uggs and a scarf yet these two girls were such troopers to be dressed up wearing tank dresses in this weather. I think we got some beautiful shots and they will make a fantastic holiday card for Mom.

{FAMILY} "P" Family...

Brrrrr! It was a COLD day today in CA but I must say I do love it! It was nice to get to wear a scarf and my comfy Uggs to a session. :) I've worked with this family a couple times in the past and they are really nice people. I enjoyed doing their family session today and I think the colors Mom chose were great. Can't believe how little "K" has grown up from first meeting him at 4-5 months old. He was such an "explorer" and enjoyed doing his own thing. Hope you guys enjoy your "peek"! Thanks!

Oh yeah... Isn't this such a Romantic shot?! I love it and to top it off I noticed while editing that there is some tree leaves hanging above them that looks a little like Mistletoe, LOL! :)

{FAMILY} "W" Family...

What a lovely day today and a GREAT "Mini" session with the "W" family! I really enjoyed doing a "Mini" and am so surprised that not more clients would want one. I offered them thinking it would be so convienent for families but turns out most people booked "Regular" sessions.

Anyhow, back to the "W" family. I first photographed this family when this little darling was born. I did her Newborn pics and Ahhh she was and is sooo SWEET! Then you may also recognize her since I just recently had her "model" for me for some headbands from "Petite Fleurs by Bellasma". They are such a cute family and I really enjoyed today's QUICK session and have enjoyed working with you all each time! Thanks! Hope you enjoy your "peek"!

"Love Love Love them Carrie!!! I am so anxious to see more and send them to family. Once again, you have done a wonderful job for us!!!! Xoxoxo The Walters Family" -Client comment

*Designer Spotlight* "JANUM Designs"

I was SOOO unbelievably honored (and giddy) when asked to work with this FABULOUS clothing designer... Majd from "JANUM Designs"! She is so talented and creates the most to die for gorgeous clothing and not to mention that she works with some phenomenol photographers as well. I was so excited to see what she would send me. This dress is just plain stinkin GORGEOUS! The adorable ruffle leggings to match are also by JANUM. This dress I believe will be available shortly in her store as well as some other new pieces just in time for the holidays so definitely go check out JANUM Designs and become a fan on Facebook!
