Lyman Holiday Portrait Session - Sacramento, CA

This past Monday - yes, I mean two days ago Monday. I'm a speedy little editing elf these days - I met up with a Daddy/Daughter Duo at the State Capitol Christmas Tree for a Holiday portrait shoot for a Christmas gift. Ed wanted some photos with his daughter Chrissy to give his mom for Christmas (no worries, I checked with Ed and she won't see this post!) so we picked the biggest decorated tree that I could think of for their session. The morning started off with some super thick fog, but cleared up just enough for us to get some great portraits of the two of them!Love this one! Such a great portrait of the two of them, happy smiles and all!Chrissy is SUCH a cutie in this one! She's also one of my dancers that performed Friday night, and she just KNOWS how to work a cute pose. Right off the bat, she crossed her feet just like that!

Last night was the yearly Christmas dance show for our studio. The second year that we have done it at the community center in North Highlands, and the turn out was great! My kids have been working hard on their dances since October, and the work paid off! They all did such an amazing job, especially my littlest kiddos. I'm one who has a hard time with Christmas music playing in stores before Thanksgiving, so before Halloween even was pushing it for me! But the music playing and practicing paid off, and I cannot wait to see where they are ability wise for next June's recital!

This week has been a pretty busy one, that's for sure! Between family photo sessions, Thanksgiving dinner, and the crazy black friday shopping, this week seemed to zoom right on by. Of course, a photographer's work is never done, since I'll be heading out for another session this afternoon and putting in print order this week! I did manage to avoid the crazy shopping for the most part - minus the hour I sat in the fabric store Friday night waiting for my number to get called... but that is pretty much the ONLY shopping that I do on that crazy day! The Holiday season is coming on us FAST, and it will be so weird when 2012 sneaks it's way in. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with your families :)

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has a SUPER fantastic Halloween! Be safe, have a blast, and take lots of pictures!
