Merry Christmas

Many blessings to you this Christmas! I cannot say enough how thankful I am for all of you. To be able to do something I absolutely love and to be able to share it with others...it's fantastic. Thank you so much and I pray that your holiday is filled with much love and many smiles!!

And with that...here's a few shots of my own kiddos....I love these cuties!!!!

love with laughter is the best kind :)

storyboard happy :)

There were so many fun shots from this session - I just couldn't help but get a little 'storyboard happy!' I had a fantastic time with this family, and am so thankful to have met them all. Most sessions are enjoyable for me, but this one, in particular, was extra fun. Great kids, relaxed parents, and for once this month - bearable temperatures!!! Thanks to the S family for trusting me with your family photos. I hope to see you again soon!!

can you say FREEZING???

Thanks to the L family for braving the COLD with me!! It was about 24 degrees for this session. A record low for KA photography!! The poor little guy was so cold by the end....but he was such a trooper! We battled some harsh overhead sun and bruttely cold temps, but still managed to get a CD full of pictures!! :) This little gal is in my daughter's Kindergarten class, and it was so much fun to get to hang out with her family and get to know them more!! Thanks, guys!!

snuggled under freedom...

To Baby C and his mom and dad: Thank you. Thank you for the many sacrifices you make so that we can call ourselves FREE. You are a blessing to our country! I am so thankful to have met you, and hope that I can continue to give just a little as you give such a lot. God bless you!!!

baby fever

Oh, dear. It's got me again. Baby fever is hard to fight off while editing pictures of little babies as completely adorable as this!!!
