Holiday Shoots

For Sam, Christmastime has arrived early.  

We met up with some Lens Baby friends for a couple of holiday shoots this week and we are officially in the Christmas Spirit!

Recognize this porch with the black door?  

I brought some baby here

last year

- don't know where he went to!

So pensive...

This counts as a big pile of leaves here in Texas, so we had to have a little fun with them!

Had to include this one, even though it's not Christmas-y.  This is Chester, Chestnut Square's resident cat.  He really had fun with all the kids that day.  He'd run away when they chased him, but always came right back for more. Sam and I were the last to leave and while I was packing up all the props I noticed them sitting so quietly together.  I grabbed my camera and quickly snagged a couple shots of these two boys right as Chester was snuggling up to Sam.  It almost made me reconsider my feelings about cats.  Almost.  I guess any cat who likes my boy this much must be pretty okay so I'll make an exception for Chester!  He even got in our car, twice, while I was loading props.  Sam's eyes were huge when he saw Chester hop in the front seat!  I think we'll have to go back soon and visit our new little friend.

Somewhere Else

When we visit this park, those 100 degree days are just a distant memory.

It doesn't feel like Dallas here, either.  If it wasn't so far from our house, I think we'd come here everyday, at least while the colors are out!

Moving Day, Five Years Later

What a difference five years has made...

Jammie Day

It was J is for Jammies Day at school today.

Sam got to wear his polar bear jammies and bring Hop-Hop for show-and-tell.  They had pizza for lunch and read stories sitting on sleeping bags by a camping tent.  Instead of the usual butter cookies for snack, the kids had teddy grams and, as Sam explained to me, "teeny tiny pillows" - marshmallows, I'm assuming.    It was a little chilly and rainy today, too - perfect for a jammie day!
