it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

my favorite time of the year! My 2009 holiday card collection is now out and cuter than ever! If you didn't get an email with the information and you are interested in them send me an email andilainephotography@live.com. Deadline for ordering them is December 4th!

morgan and mommy...

We have really lucked out with weather here the past couple weeks. I was really getting worried we would get right in to winter without ever getting to enjoy the beautiful colors of fall. It was a picture perfect day (literally) last week when I had the chance to meet Morgan and her mom. Both absolutely gorgeous and so much fun! I loved capturing Morgan's adorable personality - this last shot is one of my favorites... I love it when kids are goofy like this. Reminds me of myself :) And it's a good thing I am quick because Morgan is a one shot kind of gal - she'd stop for one picture then move on. So funny! Thanks Heidi and Morgan - it was so nice to meet you both!

the adorable Grace...

they just don't get much sweeter than this! Miss Grace is 6 months old and so beautiful. I love all of the hair and big blue eyes. But even more...I love her "surprised fish face" she makes! She really has this look down and it is the cutest thing I've seen! I could have done this whole post with her signature look but didn't think mom and dad would be very happy with me!:) Thanks for a fun day guys - more to come soon...

meet the adorable mr. quinn...

Have I said lately how much I love my job? Quinn here is 3 years old and what a handsome little guy! I can't get over his curly hair and melt your heart smile! I thought we might not get a shot of him without his cars but he reluctantly let me hold one to help me take the pics - this was after I took a few shots of the cars by themselves :) But the best part of it all was the email his mom sent me later that day. She said after I left Quinn told her that he wanted to take me to show-and-tell at his school! Sigh... and THIS is why I love my job! Thanks for making my day Quinn!

t family times 3!

What do you get when you have one big family (well 3 individual families together for the day), 7 adorable kids all with these amazing blue eyes, a gorgeous house in the country, with yes... a barn (my favorite!) and a big, loveable dog? A ton of pictures for a blog post :) There are just too many for me to narrow it down so I didn't! It's hard to believe the morning of this shoot it was snowing! Snow was actually covering the ground and it was dark and cold. Then somehow it turned out the be a beautiful day. I had an amazing time with this family. These kids are all so well behaved and so adorable! Thanks "T" family for the fun. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

carter is 6 months...

How cute is this little guy? He's got one of those looks that make you think he knows something that we don't. And holy huge eyes! His session was unusually quick because he was sooo cooperative. He's such a sweet baby. More to come soon Julie!

lily turns 3 months...

I know I say this all the time but seriously...where does the time go? I can't believe she is 3 months already - but also it's like she's been a part of our family forever. As you can see she's well fed :) Well at least her cheeks are! She is very smiley and happy and so sweet. She loves watching her brothers and they can't get enough of her. We'll wait and see how they feel in a year or so when she's chewing on their cars and trains. Will turned 5 this summer and is loving preschool. He still loves trains and cars and playing with his new neighborhood friends. He is so sweet and caring and has grown up so much in the past few months. Max is 2.5 and is our little athlete! He impresses me everyday with what he can do. Loves any kind of ball and every kind of sport. He is my snuggler and has to say "good morning" to each of us every morning and "good night" to each of us before going to bed. He cracks me up 10 times a day! He's a real charmer.

I'm somehow managing to remain sane through a BUSY season and am loving meeting all my new wonderful clients! Not only am I blessed with a beautiful family but I am also blessed with truly the most beautiful clients inside and out. Thank you!!







Will and Max show off their "flowers" they picked me :) They are the sweetest boys ever!
