The last couple years, I haven't been able to do much Holiday photo sessions due to my daughter having leukemia.  The grey skies and cold temperatures. brings back so many memories of two years ago, when we sat in a hospital room for weeks.  And picking up my camera, helps take my mind off those difficult days.

Lyra is the most adorable one year old and she rocked her session. She was a little bashful at first but it didn't take her too long to ham it up for the camera. It was a bit cold, but with this beautiful face, it didn't take long to get several good images. 

I also did a session with these young men.  I did a session with them a couple years back, and it is amazing how much they have grown. They bring so much humor with them, and I can't help but laugh at the antics. 

And finally, it wouldn't be right to not include a session for my beautiful grandson. My daughter Jennifer helped occupy him while I set up the scene and in less then 10 minutes we captured him in all his orneriness. He is our pride and joy and we are looking forward to spending the holidays with him.
