Lola's Christmas...

Ok...these aren't her real Christmas pictures but I just want you all to feel my pain! There are lots of bribes involved in getting a simple Christmas picture....sigh.

Meet Katya!

Boy she was quick! I would just blink and she was gone. She wore me out, but she is so cute who cares!

Caroline & Laura...

This is the second time I've had the pleasure of meeting Caroline and Laura. The first was when Laura was just 4 months. She's grown so much! We did some Halloween and Christmas ones in the studio too!

Another blue-eyed boy!

Here's Chase! His eyes were BLUE BLUE BLUE. He's definitely squeezeable.

Jack.

It seems I've had a run of girls lately. Girls. Girls. Girls. Now don't get me wrong. Girls are super fun. But I got to hang with Jack. Look at those big brown eyes. His salary? Only a few Cheerios here and there. He LOVED his Cheerios!

I love my job....

I got spend some time with Gaby. Wow. She's so beautiful. Check out those eye lashes. What I would give for those! No eyelash curlers. No mascara.

I kept trying to put my finger on why I just thought Gaby was SO beautiful and SO cute. Well I figured it out. Guess who she looks like?

Yep you guessed it. Lola. Here's Lola at 2. Gotta love that curly hair!
