*almost* spring mini sessions :: sneak peeks!

just a quick peek for my spring {although I should have called them *almost* spring} mini sessions.......... :)  babies, birthdays and lots of fun stuff coming up for march -- including *magical* minis!  

sneak peek :: miss cic :: sweet 15

isn't she stunning!  holy moly....15!
i'm pretty sure she thought I was NUTS....but she hid it well. ;)  Just think, when it's time for your senior portraits in a few years you won't even think TWICE about twirling in an vacant lot or striking a pose in the alley way behind the movie theater. ;) 

thank you, sweet miss cici, for a fabulous afternoon...and to your aunt maria for gifting you the session for your birthday.  wishing you a wonderful quinceanera....xoxoxo!

the gaynor family :: baby it's cold outside!

I can't think of a better way to have rung in the new year {a few days early} than in the rain with the Gaynor family{s}.  Knowing how tricky a large group session can be in-and-of-itself,  things could have gone downhill fast in the FREEZING RAIN.....but the kids were A-MAZING and set the tone for the rest of us wimpy adults. :)  Did I mention it was RAINING and CCCOLD?!?!  But you would never know it from the smiles and muddy fun that was had by all.  

I'm still in the beginning of the edit...but here are some of my favs so far.  Gaynor family, you ROCK!

merry everything :: from my family to yours!

wishing all of my pbkisses families, couples, babies, toddlers, and friends a GLORIOUS holiday filled with love, hope and lots of peanut butter kisses! :) thank you for sharing your hearts with me in 2010....may we meet again in 2011!!!!

miss berlin :: ONE!

may your second year be filled with wonderment and all things sparkly...:)

welcome back sylvester :: our elf on the shelf

silly sylvester arrived today...
we're not quite sure how -- perhaps on a sleigh?
we found him among the pumpkins we bought...
with that sly little smile -- a mischievous thought?
we missed his antics when he took his leave...
we wonder what NEW tricks he'll have up his sleeve?
oh, welcome sylvester, we're happy you're here...
you bring so much fun and christmas cheer!
