Just as much as Greta loves her bunny, Holly loves her duck. Ducky has been with her all her life, a faithful companion. He is the trigger of her finger sucking. I wanted to capture Holly as is, as a child with messy hair. She's growing up too fast. Kindergarten research has me wanting to preserve her forever for myself.

My sweet Greta is very attached to her Jellycat Bunny. The poor thing has had his stuffing loved out of him. I actually had to make a repair, but more on that later.
When Greta turns three (in just 9 days!), she has to hand in her soother (pacifier), so I really wanted to take some photos of her as she is, still clinging to a tiny piece of babyhood. Greta loves her soother and her bunny so much. She tells us all the time how much she loves Bun-Buns and gives him the loveliest kisses and hugs. Childhood is so beautiful. And I'm so grateful I get to be her Mother.
This is another photo shoot I did before Christmas. It was a little hurried and the youngest had croup, but I think I still caught a few gems. Always a pleasure to take pictures of this family.
I really enjoyed taking photos of this cheerful family. Parking was tighter than it's ever been in my experience at Ranchos San Antonio, so I was only able to get photos of Momma and kids there and then we went to a nearby park to get family and couple pictures. Despite the craziness and inconvenience, everyone was happy and willing! It was fantastic! And would you take a look at their little boy's eyes? Charmer!
One of my California friends was surprised when I told her that a snowman cannot be made from just any snow. It needs to be the right temperature, right consistency, etc. If the snow is too cold, it gets icy and won't stick. Lucky us, we had a melty day and were able to make some snowmen. Not all the snow was sticky, but after trying a few different spots, I found some stuff that would work. Honestly, Holly could spend a lot of time in the snow. It was hilarious! She was constantly eating it! It was really fun to huff and puff and build some snowmen!
