Here they are,  the full 2010 Holiday Card Collection! There is a BUNCH!!  Beautiful and very unique.  Gone is the plain old 5×7 size!!

To all my clients wishing to order holiday cards this year–

When choosing your card & pictures for the card please take note of the vertical or horizontal presentation of the photo on the card you choose.  If you need help picking a picture please let me know.  If you did not sign up for a Holiday Session this year but would like to order cards please email or call me and I will re-post your photo gallery and you can pick out a picture to use.

Oh and before I forget,  I can do minor modifications to cards to fit your needs,  such as change the saying,  add a picture if there is none on the back,  if you have more than one child I can make a collage of 2-4 pictures on the back of a card to include everyone. We all know how hard it is to get lots of pictures of everyone together!! :) :)

Thank you everyone for such a great year!!

Recently I was asked to come and take pictures for a wonderful Roanoke family.  They were expecting their first little boy and wanted me to be there when Mason was born. Since he was expected to be a BIG  baby he had a scheduled due date via c-section.  Everything went as smooth as it could, mom, dad and baby did great! I have documented several births at Roanoke Memorial Hospital and I have to say that the staff there on both the Labor/Delivery  &  Mother/Baby  floors are so very accommodating and a real pleasure to work with.  They really go out of their way to make sure I can document as much as possible.  With this birth I was able to document the recovery & bonding that started,  baby & dad going to nursery and dad getting very important first lessons on diapering, bathing, swaddling (one arm out now!) and all the other fun things that come with a fresh newborn.

This family not only had me document the day Mason was born, but also had me come back to their house for a newborn session.  He was so sleepy, big, chubby, and perfect! Have you ever seen eye lashes so long!?!  Gorgeous!!

Remember this couple?

Well, meet their baby boy Jayden! This little guy was one of the best sleepers.  He literally did not open his eyes the whole time! I love to get awake pictures of newborns, its usually some of the families favorite photos.  Only after I had everything packed up and ready to head out did Baby Jayden finally open his eyes.   Little stinker!  Anyhow, here he is!
