Over the weekend, my family headed to a wonderful cabin in Big Bear. I checked the weather for 2 weeks and knew it would be brisk overnight but expected 50's in the day. We brought food for BBQing, balls for playing outdoors. We planned on hiking to the lake... then it snowed!!!
SNOW!!!
My youngest two, having spent most/all of their lives living in L.A. had only ever experienced The Grove and Disneyland 'snow.'
They were ecstatic to say the least!
My youngest said "Is it gonna to be Christmas?" Naturally if there is snow it must be Christmas right?!?
They ran around in the snow in their jammies and rain boots all morning before heading back in to have hot cocoa by the fire.
We can not wait to go back up there in the winter and build a snowman!
This session is from last years National Breastfeeding Month sale. Her photos can be seen on my main page but I just noticed I hadn't blogged them yet.
This mama radiated motherhood at her session with me. Her gentle parenting (and perfect livingroom window light) quickly became the highlight of our session when Westley was more interested in checking me out than nursing.
The thing I love about nursing sessions is they are so much more than pictures of a baby at the breast. They show a bond and connection between a mother and her child. Older nurslings are often distracted by my camera at nursing sessions but I take my time and photograph them playing and cuddling with their mothers as well as nursing.
I know, it seems early to be thinking about Christmas! Trust me, it is not! Every year I am scrambling in the fall rushing to fit as many families as possible into my schedule. This is your chance to get your session locked in and get a great deal! Book your fall (September-October) session this month and you will receive $50 off a Little Session, $100 off a Full Session, and $150 off a Super Session in the L.A. Area! I can't wait to see all my returning families and meet some new ones as well.
