Jack Finnegan

Jack made a later appearance than what was expected, but he still managed to miss coming on a holiday, which I'm guessing he'll appreciate later in life.  😁  He didn't want to sleep at first, and then when he did, he tended to have a bit of a scowl.  😅  I had to move his hands out of his face a lot which didn't ever last long, and then he did a perfect pose showing off his hands, and I couldn't stop laughing.  He's so stinkin cute!  😍

I had to include the last picture because I can't get over how sweet Charlie is!  He's growing up so fast, and his smile melts me a bit.  He seems to be doing well as an older brother now.  😊

Susannah Lou

Isn't Susannah so darling??!  I always love seeing the creativity this family has for unique bookshelves!  Susannah looked so cute in her hot air balloon.  She probably would actually like a real balloon as she loved being rocked to sleep.  Once she was fully settled in, she kept smiling for me.  Such a little sweetheart!  😍

Nord Family

I really enjoyed meeting this family!  They clearly had a special bond that reminded me of the shenanigans my siblings and I got into.  In other words, the Nords were all way too excited at the prospect of throwing leaves at each other.  😂

Stace Family

I typically don't work on holidays as I want to be spending time with my family.  But every year I get a handful of requests from families wanting pictures of everyone who has gathered together to celebrate the holidays.  This year I decided to take on a couple family sessions after Thanksgiving, and I'm so glad I did!  Amongst the chaos of the holidays, there is always so much to be thankful for and that can be cherished for a lifetime, if only it is captured.  Seeing these little kids spending time with their great-grandparents is so special!  😍

If you are interested in having me take extended family pictures at your next holiday gathering, please make sure to contact as soon as you can to see if I'm available!  I will only be booking a couple sessions like these during holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.  💓

 

afO's Great Expectations

Alright I managed to pick these 27 pictures as some of my favorites from afO's production of Great Expectations.  As you can see from the pictures, this was a very physically demanding play with characters constantly changing and lots of moving parts.  In fact, toward the end during the scene where Miss Havisham catches on fire, she accidently got hit in the face and had a bloody nose.  But she toughed it out and continued on so barely anyone noticed until she said something afterwards when we were getting ready to take the cast photos.  afO always puts on such quality productions and I'm very much looking forward to their next production!  You can find out more by going to: https://allforonefw.org/
