Sweet Bryce and Good old Kentucky

I went to visit my sister last month. She had just had baby #3, an adoooorable baby boy! I had so much fun snuggling him. Then handing him over to his mom, getting a good night of sleep and sleeping in, then snuggling him some more the next day. I know it’s not fair, but...

Maren - I’m glad you mentioned that mom was holding the baby on the other side of the rock–because that was seriously the first thing I thought of when I saw that picture! Can’t turn off that paranoid-mama thinking even while reading blogs! Beautiful pictures as always, and congrats to your sister!

(ps my oldest just started cubs and it is bringing back all those memories of the good ol’ days…)

Lisa - As always your pictures are so good. I’d been waiting for these. I hadn’t seen many of adorable Bryce and I knew you had gone to visit. Wish you could come to Latvia and take pics of my fam for me. You are amazing as always!

Kentucky Scenery

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...

Kristen Hansen - 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.

Adri - 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!

Jackie Pettit - GORGEOUS!!! Makes me want to go to Kentucky!

Getting in the Holiday Spirit…

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...
