Madelyn's Newborn Session {Brewster}

 I always love working with newborns but in this season I think it's been even better than normal.  I was able to meet Madelyn a couple weeks ago and she was the most adorable tiny girl.  My son, Roman took one look at her and said, "Tiny! Cute!" and that's basically the best way to describe her little personality!  I always say that I get my girl fix when I get to work with newborns and it's so true, since I have get to use all the sweet little headbands and wraps that I love!  I have been working with the Reyes family since Gracie was born and I have loved every session with them even more than the one before!  Gracie wasn't so sure about doing pictures with her sister but even though she was more excited to play, we still captured some of the sweetness that I know will only grow between these two sisters.

Divis Family Christmas and Snow Session {Brewster}

Madison and I first started talking about her family's session a month or so ago but I asked her if we could see if we could do it the day of a fresh snow because that is always the best!  And thankfully they were all about waiting for the right day!  We live close to each other so it worked out great to be able to spontaneously go do pictures in the snow right after it came down and I LOVE how these turned out!  If you're going to do pictures in the winter, the perfect day is always when it snows because this time of year can be really boring as far as landscapes go unless you get that extra magic of snow!  I never quite know what kids will be like in front of the camera, even if I know them in real life, but Warren had a blast!  He was all about jumping and throwing snow and being the cutest little guy.  Rose wasn't quite sure what to think of the snow at first but she warmed up by the end and was so great at giving me her serious face which is extra adorable when you have the cutest puckered lips!  We finished up the day with a couple of Christmas tree and fireplace pictures which were such a fun idea!

Our Christmas Tree Adventure {Okanogan County}

The past two years, our neighbors, or "Nana and Bear" as the kids call them, have let us tag along and get our Christmas tree, way up in the forest.  We start off with coffee and cocoa in the truck and try to keep the busy boys occupied for the hour it takes to get up there, we follow the mountain roads and usually do a little off roading until we reach a spot we want to get a closer look, then we traipse through downed branches and snow to find the perfect trees!  Once the main mission is complete we visit the cabin to do a little sledding (Roman fell asleep by that time).  Kamden memorized every part of the trip from last year so he was very excited when he was able to do a little more adventurous sledding this year after his first attempt last year.  

*Let it be noted that Roman now has appropriate boots for snow after Grammy took him shopping on Black Friday, because up to that point we hadn't gotten that far in our winter apparel search. ;)

Now that our tree has been decorated about 3 days it is currently home to several balls (not the ornamental variety, can you find them?!) and has been attacked by a foam bat by a child that is convinced ornaments are simply practice for t-ball so don't judge this decorating job too severely...
