Ethan!

This little fella here  in the following photos was born ON Christmas Day!!  How neat of a Christmas gift is that??  I was pretty thrilled to take one last photo with a Santa hat…  hehehe I can’t get enough Christmas!  I had the pleasure of photographing him when he was just a week old, and can you believe that head of hair?  I think he officially has the longest hair out of any newborns I’ve seen.  I especially love the last photo; his proud Grandma made him that quilt.  He’s so stinkin’ CUTE!

Those are wonderful pictures as always! Love the shot of Ethan on the quilt :)

Time for another kitty smile?

Yes, I think so!!

I look up to this guy…literally. He’s like 8’2″. Seriously great guy!

This really captures his personality. Lol, I love it!

Hi Josh!

Kaitlyn and Piper!

These two cool cats are CRAZY.  And crazy awesome!!  And the biggest of photo hams that exist in the world!  I heart them both and I’m always so thrilled and excited to capture their crazy awesome ham-itude during photo sessions.  Can’t get enough. 

p.s.  From the photo below, there’s no way that these two couldn’t be sisters!!  LOVE THOSE EYES!

ADORABLE! You really captured them!

Rachael - January 12, 2011 - 1:58 pm

Wow! These are incredible! I know I have already seen them but I just had to say it again! I love the one on the rocks. That one has to be my favorite!

I absolutely love these pictures!!! You are such a great photographer!!! I have the cutest cousins ever!!!(:

I think it’s in the Shell genes – they are so cute and seem to smile so easy. You always catch the best of people

I agree with Tammy. You always get such great pictures of people and it makes me want to get copies made and hang them on the wall even if I don’t know them! Would that be strange?

Can anyone get enough laughter?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.  People captured laughing in photographs are some of my most cherished triumphs.

Just an amazing picture, laughter IS a cure-all!

That’s the face I always see when i think of my Papaw. He’s always smiling and laughing!
