michele + haylee + jesse {family}

Welcome to my official, final session and post from 2010! I'm sure I will continue to be snap happy over the holidays, but I am definitely taking a break from the business end of things to relax and enjoy my family.

For a final session, this was a very simple and sweet one. After much time spent photographing little ones this month, I had the pleasure of a session with adults/teens. I didn't have to bribe them with sugar, fake a sneeze or sing a song...they were happy to just roll along with me :)

Haylee and Jesse got this session as a Christmas gift to their mom, Michele....such sweet kids! Their pooch Belle also joined us for a few of the shots, but became totally disgusted with me when I had her pose in a muddy spot...a dog that doesn't like to get dirty!?

We let Belle take a little break and continued on in our stroll around Old Clayburn. After several sessions here this year, it will probably go down as my favorite location of 2010.

To the family of three ~ Thanks for spending a chilly Sunday afternoon with me. You are all so easy to be around and my camera seems to like you too. Merry Christmas!!!
