This family always makes me smile.  They are such genuine people and mom and dad have raised their children to be polite and kind and goofy all at once.  The newest addition to their family is due in January and this little blessing has chosen the best family to become a part of.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you again.  I look forward to seeing you all again in January!

Doesn’t she just make your heart skip a beat?  Baby Emily is six days old and absolutely beautiful.  I love working with babies….their soft skin, their tiny wrinkled hands, and pouty lips….that newborn smell only a mother recognizes.  Once she settled into a slumber, Baby Emily was a treat to work with, as was her older brother (who, mark my words, will end up working for NASA - little smartie!).  Thank you Stewart Family for inviting me to your home and choosing me to photograph your now-family-of-four.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

At a loss as to what to buy for Aunt Beth or Cousin Jimmy this Holiday season?  All gift certificates for Mishka Photography are on SALE - 15% off - until December 15th.  So a $200 certificate goes for $170, a $500 certificate for $425….you get the jist….its one of those “the more ya spend, the more ya save” type of deals!!  With 15% off, you could even buy one for yourself and stuff it in your stocking! 

**Gift Certificate valid for one year begining January 1, 2010 through January 1, 2011.

……melted my heart, that is.  I photographed this little guy exactly one year ago:

And, now, one year later, he is just as adorable and still makes the greatest facial expressions.  His blonde hair, blue eyes and the way he says “thank you” just turn me right into a big, worthless, ball of mush.  Although it took him a bit longer to warm up to me this go around, as soon as I pulled out the arsenal of dinosaurs he decided it was okay to hang out with me for a bit.  Thank you Glynn Family for visiting with me again.  It was great to see all of you!!

This momma-to-be has the cutest baby bump.  Pregnancy suits her so well!!  This expecting couple have decided to take the surprise route and wait until baby arrives to learn if they are welcoming a boy or girl.  I’d never be able to handle the suspense!!!  Thank you for choosing me to be a part of this special time in your lives - - I cannot wait to meet your little blessing in a couple months!

I am so behind on blogging its not even funny.  I am doing my best to offer quick turnarounds on current session proofs in order to meet Holiday deadlines. . . soooo, there has been no time for blogging and sneak peeks.  I hope to get back to the blog soon! 

In the meantime, here is a small sneak peek of this new family of four!

Don’t you love my use of made up words?  Gorgeousness.  They are though, aren’t they?  Gorgeous?
