I’ve been a Christmas grinch. I haven’t really meant to be… I still love it and all, but I’ve been so caught up in trying to get all my work finished and out the door, that things have slipped a bit on the homefront. Shelby was asking daily if we could put the tree up,...
Oh, these are both just faboo!! I love the focus on the first one…I think that we are going to have to hang some snowflakes from the ceiling around here too! 
That is totally our house with Naomi. We just put snowflakes on our door. We can never have enough holiday decorations up for her.
And I love how clean a room looks from the ceiling. You have no idea that it isn’t all pristine underneath the frame. I’m going to have to remember that next time I am taking pictures!
Nice job Shelby! I remember quite a few holidays in my youth that I had to take over the decorating. So, I guess that makes you like Mom?
Well, maybe a half-day. I’m not really sick, either. Sophia is. She’s got a hacking cough so I kept her home today. Good day for a sick day, I think! I’m feeling the opposite of sick, actually. I’m feeling alive. I’m feeling inspired. Feeling like I want to go do something really amazing and creative...

Just wanted to tell you how much I adore you.
Oh man I love that little guy! So hilarious! Thanks for sharing his comments. And thanks for sharing yours too. I’ve still gotta come see that studio sometime.
Umm, stop it. He looks so old. Still cute as all get out, but old. Where has the time gone? I hope the MRI comes back alright. We’ll be thinking of his royal cuteness.
I LOVE the picture of him jumping off the bed. His face looks all peaceful as he waits for his parachute to give him a nice, gentle, landing….CRASH. Too cute!
Love little Franklin!
(and I really like to say the word discombobulated over and over again.)
that is NOT franklin. what?! has it been THAT long since i’ve been here? oh. my. gosh. i can’t believe how much of you i see in him, shannon! what a handsome dude. :0) xoxo
Oh and I hope “having lunch with friends more often” is on your new list!
Man. Franklin IS looking old. But he is as handsome as ever. What a character!
I know you are probably getting tired of me talking about Kentucky by now… This is the last post, I promise. (from this trip, at least… I can’t promise I won’t visit and talk about it again!) Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, right? So I’ll just let these pictures do...

Shannon – these are beautiful! Can’t wait to see you soon! I will touch base about the trip as soon as I make it through the next two weeks!
You have an incredible eye for the *perfect* shot Shannon. These are beyond the usual “postcard” quality. They are absolutely breathtaking. I will be contacting you for some prints. I can’t pass them up.
Gorgeous, Shannon!
Shannon…these are beautiful. You really can’t beat Kentucky beauty in the fall. Except maybe in the Spring. You should go back in April!
GORGEOUS!!! Makes me want to go to Kentucky!
I’ve been sitting on these images for a month now… This holiday weekend seems the perfect time to share! I had the best time visiting my sister in Kentucky. I know I said this when I was there, but I really do think Kentucky might be one of the most beautiful places in the world!...

thanks for sharing! I love the pics. I definitely see the family resemblance.
Awww, Shannon! I can’t even tell you enough how much we loved having you here. It was such a blast! We hope you can come back lots. And, we LOVE the pictures. You are magic. xoxo
shannon, these shots are great! it’s so nice to get to see andrea keith & the kids even though they’re so far away!!
The “money shot” is every mom’s dream. The loving gaze, hand on thigh, happy kids! Fantasmic!
The tree hanging off the huge cliff is INSANE! Very cool. love ‘em all
You’re right on about sisters. When Caroline was here in October we stayed up talking and laughing until 1:00 a.m. one night. The next morning Grace told me, “Mom I couldn’t go to sleep because you guys were laughing so much last night.” Beautiful pictures, and scenery. We should go there before we leave Michigan. I think it’s only 6 or 7 hours south of here.
I know I said I wouldn’t be doing mini sessions this year, and I meant it. Between the normal Christmas rush and getting the studio ready, I just didn’t think I could handle it. I didn’t want to promise something I couldn’t deliver. But after repeated requests and wanting to accommodate as many people as...

If only I wasn’t looking fat (not even looking pregnant yet — just fat).
