Ribbit! Ribbit!

I have been shooting Kaylei's portraits since she was a newborn, and she has always been quite a serious little girl, seldomly doling out smiles. I have taken many "serious" portraits of her. However, I was delighted to see this time that she had some tricks up her sleeve for me. She has been taking gymnastics, and she used her new moves for our portraits. She's quite spontaneous, so I had to be on my toes. In this series, she abruptly hopped up and sprang forward, quipping "Ribbit! Ribbit!" I was "on my toes" enough to catch her froggy leap mid-air!

Christmas Card Photo

HERE IT IS! The best, most flattering, most natural photo of all of us for our Christmas card. We took this photo on Thanksgiving at my parents' house when it starting snowing! Haven't seen it since though, must have scared it away for the year. Yoda's a little blurry, but can't complain. Kudos to Dad for snapping the shot. I looked for that wiener dog float in the Thanksgiving Parade, since I now have a wiener dog of my own. Didn't see it. Happy Thanksgiving and Christmas to all!
