Santa Claus came to town! Yay!  We are so excited to share with you our 2nd annual Make a Wish day with Santa!  We completely filled the studio with tons of tons of eager little children with their wish lists in hand for Santa this year. It is really amazing to watch the sparkle in a little ones eyes as they eagerly chat away the hopes and wants for this year's christmas list to the big guy in red. 

But what is even more amazing, is that, through this wonderful event, we were able to raise $2150 for Make A Wish!  That means so much for a child who has been battling with a life threatening illness.  It means that a child will be able to smile again, and laugh and forget about the tremendous weight they carry on their shoulders every day.  It means magic for a child in need and we could not do this without each and every one of the kids who come in every year with their very own wish list for Santa. We hope to make this event bigger every year and with your help, be able to make a child's wish truly come true for Christmas and all year through.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this event so special and such a success and we wish you wonderful memories all year through!  A very special thank you for our sweet Santa and all who helped and volunteered for this event.  We would also like to dedicate this year's Make A Wish to our dear friends Eric and Lyona Sommerson.  Eric was always his family's Santa and he fell sick to cancer last year and passed away last December.  He was generous enough to donate his santa suit for us to use for the event.  Thank you so very much Lyona for being such a special part of this year's event and we will always remember the sweet and honery man we met just one year ago. 

We wish you all a magical Christmas filled with love and laughter!

Eight year old Alexis came in this year with her wish list in hand and was so excited to share it with Santa!  So sweet!

Sweet baby Syrus was our tiniest little one to meet Santa on Saturday at just four weeks. So tiny!

Oh Merek! He makes my heart melt every time I see him!  He always winks at me and it was so funny that he was more interested in hamming up for the camera than telling Santa his wish list!

This is my favorite image of the day!  Baby Emma just needed to find out if this was REALLY Santa after all!

Oh our little sweet Mary!  We just love her to pieces and she is always the sweetest little thing ever!  Isn't she precious!

Mr. and Mrs. Claus, one of the sweetest couples I have ever known!

Our crazy clan! Jaime and I were Santa's helpers and Braylin, left, was sweet enough to volunteer her help for the event with us. 

Our very exhausted Santa!  Now off to the North Pole to finish his naughty and nice list for Christmas! 

Thank you again everyone and we wish you the warmest of holiday wishes!

What a beautiful family!  I met and quickly became friends with Tammie several months ago for a fun modeling photoshoot with her.  When I was photographing her family, I could feel the strong connection they shared with one another and I couldn't help but shoot away at each and every laughing moment.  Her little boys were cracking me up the whole time.  I hope to some day meet her other babies, but they're not really babies anymore as they are all grown up, and photograph them with Tammie, also.  Take a peek at some of my favorites from their black and white session.  Love them!

Talk about a little princess!  Little Isabella came in for her three year portraits, and she was absolutely adorable!  She LOVES to be a girly girl, dressing up in dresses and tutus, and one cannot forget the important accessories of a princess...glitzy shoes and sparkly jewelry!  I fell in love with Issy because of her sweet personality and the way her eyes light up when you play with her, dancing and spinning around like a little star.

Check out this cutie pie!

Love her!!!

Our first annual food drive turns success with all of your help!!!  This year you could bring in your scary little creatures and sweet princesses in for a 15 minute photoshoot and receive 2-5x7 and 4 Wallets for $25 with the gift of 5 canned food items to be donated to our local food pantry.  Wow,what is ever a huge success! Together we were able to donate over 250 items to our local famiies in need because of your community support.  So, thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you that brought in your sweet little monsters to help us support our local community.  We already can't wait for next year!

We were able to fill several cauldrens of goodies to help our local families because of your help!

Puff the Magic Dragon roaring away!

I'm not usually a big fan of mice, but I think this one is adorable!!

So precious!

LOVE the creativity here!  How cute!

Hilarious!

Jaime, Patsy and I dressed up for Halloween too!  We had so much fun playing with the kids all day and seeing their adorable little faces and costumes.  Thank you again for coming this year and we can't wait to see you next year!

Check out our video with all of our scary little Halloween creatures!

Baby Ryann is not a baby anymore!  Ryann was just 3 months old the very first time I met her...even then she had the sweetest smile with her full chubby cheeks and big beautiful eyes.  She's still that beautiful little girl at three, she's just gotten a lot bigger overnight it seems!

Ryann moved to Davenport last year and we were so bummed!  But I was lucky enough to capture her this fall at the beautiful VanderVeer Park in Davenport, Iowa. It seems like we've been traveling that direction quite a bit lately and over the next couple of weeks!  Love the change of scenery, plus an added bonus is I get to see my sweet niece and nephew that also live up there!  

Check out some of our favs from Ryann's fall session.

Love those big beautiful eyes!

Playing in the leaves...isn't she so sweet!

Dancin' away...

I love the look of wonder and imagination in her eyes here as she sat and talked with her mommy on the playground bridge.

 

She's just a lil' dollie!

The bond of brothers is quite fascinating really.  The admiration that little guys feel for their big bros can be seen even as young as they two!  They are two of the cutest little guys and I just love spending time with them.  Gabe is now 2 and very much into everything and as busy as you can imagine.  It won't be long before Mitch catches up to him, as he loves to watch him run around and he lights up when Gabe shows any kind of interest in him!

Check out one of the fun families we had this week!!  I absolutely love photographing them every year, as they are full of energy and tons of smiles and laughter...check it out!

They are just the cutest family!

I love it when brothers and sisters actually DO love each other!  Little Zach just idolizes his big sister.

You can get Zach to do just about anything as long as his sister is doing it too!

Cute, cute, cute!  Daddy and Olivia play the kissing game and it brought smiles and laughter in the air every time they teased each other kissing cheeks.

This moment must be capture fast...Zach is a busy iittle boy with races to run and sticks to pick up, bugs to admire...

I love this of the two of them...they were flying airplanes together up Snake Alley in downtown Burlington.  What fun we had!

Anabelle's first official photo shoot at one week!  We are certain that she was practicing in the womb!  She was absolutely perfect...what a natural!  :)

Kim and Anabelle are doing great and we just love being "Grandma Patsy" and "Aunt Jay"!

Is this not the sweetest face ever?

She's here!  Anabelle RoseMarie LaFauce arrived this morning at 10:43.  She weighed 6 lbs. 7 oz. and 20 1/2".  They are doing great!  We wanted to share a few images with you!  There will be more to come!  :)

Proud parents!

Getting Weighed

Wonderful, Dr. Denning!

How precious am I?  :)

Welcome to the world, Anabelle!

I had the honor of photographing Ronnie and Julie'a wedding in November of 2006.  I was so excited to meet Zane Gordon Lundin on Friday!  He was my last session before I left on maternity leave and what a special session it was!  I just photographed Zane's cousin, Mason, a few weeks ago and I was able to capture the two of them together during this session!  They are going to be best buddies growing up!  Our little one will have two little "boyfriends" to contend with when she is older!

We are so excited for Rick and Erin and Ronnie and Julie!  What a very special time for all of them!  We can't wait to watch them grow up together!

Ronnie and Julie with Baby Zane.  How sweet!

Zane was so easy to photograph!  He was so content just hanging out!

Daddy holding Zane.

After a feeding from mommy, Zane was out like a light!  He loved to be in this position!

Comfy, cozy in the hammock!

Zane and Mason...best buddies for life!  :)
