There are only a few more sleeps until Christmas so naturally, I HAVE to share this adorable Christmas-y mini session.

A few weeks ago a gal on Facebook was looking for a photographer to do a mini session.  I responded and she booked me and I am so grateful when things work out like that.  Within a few days we had exchanged information and less than a week after we started chatting, we were doing our session. Just FYI, I do mini sessions all year long!  I don’t really advertise it very much, but you can always ask for a mini session!

Alessia and her mom both had the CUTEST shoes.  I knew we were meant to be friends when I saw their shoes (you know how much I am a shoe lover).  It is a good thing I had all boys because little girl shoes would have made us bankrupt!

Brianne and Cameron make the cutest couple.  They are so sweet with each other and with their baby girl.

I also loved how relaxed they were with Alessia.  She is such a good girl and listened so well and that is the sign of great parenting!

Hot chocolate, candy canes and Santa hats are a must have for Christmas photos, don’t you think?  Pretty sure that she was thinking that there was no way she was going to smile because there were marshmallows that needed to be eaten.

Mom pictures are my favorite.  You can just feel the love coming right through the photo.  I am sure that both of them will cherish these photos for years to come.

Alessia was a bit skimpy on the smiles at first, but not to worry…..she pulled out all the stops by the time we were done.

Of course we had to do a quick wardrobe change because no one can resist a 2 year old in a cute Christmas dress.

This sweet girl captured my heart from the moment we met.  She toddled over to me and grabbed my hand.  It absolutely melted my heart that she was so open with me and wanted to hold my hand and hug me.

Brianne, Cameron and Alessia….I am glad we found each other.  It was such a joy to capture these images for you.  Let’s do it again sometime soon!!!
