Happy Thanksgiving!

thanks⋅giv⋅ing [thangks-giv-ing]
1. the act of giving thanks; grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors.
2. an expression of thanks, esp. to God.
3. a public celebration in acknowledgment of divine favor or kindness.

Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. There's no hussle to buy things for others and worry if they're going to like their gift or not. It's a time to be thankful for the harvest but also to be thankful for the ways in which we all are blessed. As you all are traveling today to your destination for that turkey, ham, stuffing, etc. Or preparing to shop til you drop during those black friday sales, I hope you will spare a few minutes to think of a few things you're thankful for.

I thought I'd make a list of a few things that I am thankful for:
1-God
2-My parents & grandparents
3-My baby girl & her Daddy
4-My brother & his family
5-Cousins & Friends
6-Food
7-Good Health
8-Meredith College
9-To be able to do what I love (photography)
10-My clients
11-A life that includes love and laughter
12-Our soldiers

I really could keep going, but I think I'll stop there for now. What are you most thankful for this season?

And in the spirit of the Thanksgiving season, which I still like to have decorated with fall leaves, pumpkins, etc., here's another picture of my wee-one that I took earlier in the month!



Here's to a safe, relaxing, and fun Thanksgiving!
Gobble, Gooble!

Hampton

November 1st was a good day, because baby Hampton made his way into the world. Here he is at just 15 days old! He was awake for most of our session, but did so well as we moved him and molded him like we wanted him to be. WARNING: these images could cause some serious baby fever!

My baby girl...

I took a few minutes with Grace today and did a very small, nothing major, quick photo session with her. I just caught the tail end of daylight coming in through the windows, but I wanted to show this one particular image of her that says so much about her. She certainly is the light of my life!

Housekeeping...

Just a few "housekeeping" things to go over:

I received a heads up today that on the first page of my site that BLOG link wasn't working. Sorry for any troubles you were having, but the link should now be active again!

Remember that the deadline for Holiday Card orders is December 1st. That is only 12 days away and Thanksgiving is in between. The sooner you get your card orders to me the better! You can view holiday card pricing and other designs on the website by clicking on Design Gallery > Holiday Cards.



If you had a session with MLP since the summer, your images are back online in the proof gallery for holiday ordering. The deadline for print orders is December 11th. If you don't see your session, shoot me an email and let me know.

I have some more sessions that I haven't blogged so be sure to stay tuned for more adorable-ness! Above is 15 day old Hampton that I had the pleasure of visiting with Monday. More to come from his session and others soon!

And don't forget about the newest product added to the MLP line up! These necklaces are going like crazy! I'm so in love with mine! For more information about them, click here.



Another idea to display your photos are these bags, I have many different styles of bags for you to choose from. (Pocketbooks, Wallets, Toiletry Bags, etc.) Another great holiday gift! The 'Beach Bag' is shown below!

You've seen this adorable family grace my blog many times before, from engagement photos to her bridal portraits and all things in between. Now, they're adding one more to their clan and February can't get here fast enough; not only for her, but for me too! I can't wait to meet this little person. Bridget & Stephen opted not to find out the sex of the baby. Delivery day is going to be extra special; not only will they have a new little person to hold but we'll know boy/girl- the suspense is killing me! And I think them too! :)

















Love you guys! xoxo
