Sending wishes for a joyful, wonderful holiday filled with love and family!!

From my family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!!

I recently had the awesome opportunity to go to Canada, where two of my best friends live and help them with their newborn twins, Willow & Wesley! It was such a sweet, wonderful, intimate, special time…I will remember it for the rest of my life. While it was filled with all the things you expect, tons of feedings and diaper changes, help with dishes and laundry and meals, even less sleep than I get at home….I really loved all of it because it was filled with memory building life experience of being there for my friends as they embark on their journey as a family…and while it sounds cheesy, it’s an amazingly special thing to be a part of. When you watch two people you know well and love as a couple turn into parents…and a family…it’s really incredible…and awesome…and makes you have one of those “this is what life is all about!” kind of moments! It was hard to be away from Sophie for a week and hard to be gone from work during the busiest time of the year, but getting to be a part of Willow and Wesley’s lives, if only for a week, was something I cherished sooo much. I miss them like crazy…and their Mom & Dad! While I was there, we made several attempts at a photo shoot…i love these images….

Meet Wesley…the lovable charmer…

And Willow, the innocent and sweet one…

Melissa & Gary live on a fantastic, warm, inviting ranch so we did a part of our shoot that reflected that feeling…

And then we did some bright, fun ones too!!
