The Hair Family- Gilbert Family Photographer

I am so excited to share this family with you.  I am trying so hard to continue to share families with you on the blog, it's getting a little nutty around here so I am hoping I can find time to keep posting.  I shot 6 families over the weekend so I am playing catch up but I had to share this adorable family.  I will say it was the first time I was that close taking pictures of a chicken.  I am not so sure"Georgia" was fond of me but I had a blast letting this little cutie patootie run the backyard and have fun with "Georgia"

Julie Grace turns 1!!

We are currently on Spring Break for the next two weeks and I am loving this!  The weather is perfect and I am not going to lie, sleeping in is pretty awesome.  I have a big 5k I am doing this weekend on Saturday so I am preparing for that.  I am so excited to show you pictures!

I finished up some sweet birthday pictures of little miss Julie Grace.  This sweet little girl just turned 1 and oh what an adorable little girl!  It was so fun to be a part of some a big milestone.  She really tore into her cake and I was able to catch that moment.  Awesome!!

Sweet little Julie Grace- Gilbert Family Photographer

Holy Moly, I haven't been on this blog for awhile.. so sorry about that.  I haven't been posting much on here but only because I have been spending a lot of time over here.

But I just had to show you sweet little Julie Grace.  She made her debut a few months ago in February.  When Reagan was a baby she had a signature color.  One color I would constantly dress her in or think about her when I saw it.  It was that light aqua blue and I just loved it on her.

Well little miss Julie Grace sure has a color and it's purple.  She glows in it and it's adorable for her.  Her nursery is head to toe purple and it's perfect.  Everything is just so clean and new, I love little nurseries.  Once they get older they just go nuts in their rooms and it's so hard to keep clean.

Take a look at some of these pictures of Julie Grace and her mom and dad.

The Norris Family- Gilbert Family Photographer

Week in Review: My week was spent about 90% in front of my computer editing trying so hard to get these sessions out for everyone.  So since I was out of reality for a few days I thought I'd share my week.

Our Thanksgiving was really fun and so relaxing.  My mom hosted it at her house which meant I could bring my mean buffalo appetizer dip for us all to stuff ourselves with and call it a day.  My sister ended up bringing Apples to Apples which actually I had seen in the stores and always thought it was a preschool game.  We had such a good time playing that game, it really is fun.

I am not much of Black Friday shopper, are you?  My mom and I tried to go last year and we seriously walked in, saw the grabbing and pushing and craziness and just left.  We both kind of gave each other the same look and walked out.  I think I will stick with Cyber Monday.  There is no grabbing or pushing when I am sitting at home at my desk.  Also just a reminder that today is Small Business Saturday.  Encouraging you to get out and support your small business today. Hint Hint.... don't you think a great gift certificate from Mandy Hank Photography would be an awesome gift to give this year to a family member?

Last Sunday we (as in crazy twi-hard girls) planned to watch the last installment of Breaking Dawn Part 2.  I had been gearing up for this movie for 12 months.  Last summer started out as "oh those twi-hard people are weird, who cares about this book and how can you get so obsessed with this series?"  10 days, 4 books and 3 movies later I was obsessed!! How can you not be?  I watched the first Breaking Dawn in the theaters last November and waited patiently for this one.  It really was amazing.  So amazing, I could probably see myself heading to watch it a few more times in the movie theater.  Although I am pretty bummed it's the last one.  There isn't another one to look forward to.  Kind of depressing. Sniff Sniff.

Today I have a few editing sessions to get out but my hope it to get the Christmas tree out.  My husband said I can finally start listening to Christmas music (even though I was doing it behind his back since Halloween). I have been signing "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" for weeks.  Hey it's all I've got.  It's been in the 80's here.  I have to use my imagination and the music helps :) I just love the Christmas season!  It's time for the Christmas decorations....yeah!!!
Happy Week to you all, I hope your Thanksgiving was spent with loved ones and was relaxing.

Here is my sweet little Norris family.  Can't believe how much these two little ones have grown over the years.  They are pretty close in age to my kids so every time I photograph them, they remind me so much of mine.  Sweet little Morgan just got her glasses and may I say looks absolutely adorable in them.  They fit her very well.  Landon showed up with his little guy flirt-ness with my camera.  His baby blues just eat my camera :)
