How fun is that? What a neat grandmother. Too bad it wasn't for the session... we'll have to come up with another excuse to get together someday. :)

And for the big prize.... Portrait Session ($175)


Winner is ...Lisa!
What a fun surprise to have grandparents under the tree! I thought about doing that for my parents this year, but i realized my mom loves the anticipation just as much as the gift. Hopefully this crazy storm doesn't keep us away!

Thank you everyone for participating in this giveaway. We hope this holiday finds you safe and warm and dry.

Sending you love from all of us in the Fife clan. Merry Christmas!!

Best gift for their Christmas

I think this is our smallest subject yet, in all my shooting days. He was born at 33 weeks, and here he is, 4 weeks later when he should have still had 3 weeks to go before being born! He sure is tiny. We kept the heat up to make sure he was comfortable, so we all ended up getting pretty sweaty. ;) We were his first visit, besides his numerous trips to the NICU, and we did our best with hand sanitizer to keep him completely healthy!

It was an amazing session, thanks to some beautiful props brought by his mom Angie. I'll post the link to the etsy shop if i get ahold of it!

Thank you both for trusting us with your little man's newborn portrait session! We had a lot of fun.










I died when i saw this hat. SO adorable. And here's another shot that made it to the cover of their dvd, in case you missed it. This hat never would have fit on either of my newborns-- soooo small.





And this is just yummy.


Caught a grin.













These two were the cutest new parents I've ever seen. They were lovey-dovey with each other through the whole session. It made me smile. :)



This couple is super super nice, and Dustin and I hit it off with them right away. We don't often get to shoot together anymore, and it was fun to tag-team this awesome session.

5 pounds of goodness

Day before yesterday we photographed an ADORABLE tiny baby. He was born at 33 weeks! Here's just a sneak peak from his session...

Reach the Children Benefit: Thiels

This family is dear to us: their little lady has spent multiple days a week for the last year seeing our little man. It has been our privilege to swap babysitting with these guys. We love them a lot, and are so happy to get to capture their family portraits.

They were one of the many that participated in our Reach the Children Charity Benefit this past month. We are grateful for them and everyone else who donated and made such a difference. Thank you again!

Oh, and i realized just earlier today that we posted their family pictures last year too! Check them out to see how their pretty girl has grown!







Airplaaaaaane!!!







This lady is just gorgeous. I love her smiles and friendship. She's also my couponing buddy.





I want a picture of my family like this!







This girl get so excited about so many things.







By this point, i was no longer exciting stuff to little Kate. Can we try for one last set?





Yes! She did great!



And i thought i was done... but there's always a few more to get at the end. Don't want to miss those precious moments.



Yummy sunset light.



Ahhh... these pictures make me happy.
