Ashton James: 1-year old

Ashton turns one on Christmas Eve...what a great gift he was for his parents last year! :) It was too cold to take pictures outside so we strolled around Regency Mall and found a few little spots that worked just fine. His parents are friends from high school/college who very recently moved back to Omaha after being away for eight years. Welcome back, guys!

The "S" Family: Siblings

The "S" siblings wanted to get together for a few photos to give to their parents as a Christmas present. What a great idea--pictures make the best gifts! I have known Rick (the one on the far right in the first group shot) for about ten years...he's like a little brother to me and I'm so thrilled for him; he has found an amazing woman and is gaining a great set of in-laws. I had a blast shooting with all of them...you can tell they love to have a good time and really love eachother as well.

I know we were taking "family" photos, but little Miss Tenley was too cute...I couldn't help but snap a few of just her.

I'm a sucker for these and they definitely put in their all and didn't disappoint!

Ayla & Amber

We spent Thanksgiving week in Ohio...Ayla had a good time playing with her second cousin, Amber (or is it first cousin once removed...I've never understood how all that works.) Anyway. They are only five weeks apart in age and were so cute together.

I asked them to stand in front of the doors, look at me, and smile. They listened! I got TWO 2-year olds to cooperate. At. The. Same. Time. I don't think that ever happens. :)
