The holidays are here! I love seeing all the lights and decorations, and what better time to show off your Christmas tutus, at least for the under five crowd.

I had the honor of photographing two adorable little sisters in their Christmas costumes. Don't they just melt your heart? Then we all headed out to Hall-A-Day Trees to check out the Moses Lake Christmas tree farm.

The last two photos I really love. She was looking for bears amongst the trees. So cute!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....well at least feel like it...as in freezing! Brrr it's been so cold lately.

I had lots of fun at a recent children photography session in Spokane. What a lively group these three are. We got to travel around and explore some nearby woods for a little bit as we snapped some holiday photos. Then before we all became little popsicles, we headed inside for some hot cocoa and Christmas stories by the fire. How fun is that?

Hello, my name is Sandy, and sometimes I’m a bad photo mom.

Seriously, lately my parents have been threatening to take my son to Sears just to get some current pictures. Ah well, because I do it for a living, sometimes it can be hard for me to find the time to capture images of my own son growing and changing.

So Christmas card time rolls around, and I figure it’s time to get ‘er done. Of course I waited till December, and it’s freezing out, and the poor boy is getting over a cold, but too bad because it’s finally a sunny day out. Sorry kiddo, no nap today because the light is gorgeous with a capital G and time’s a tickin’.

I guess I got what I deserve, huh. What do you think? Should I use that first picture for the Christmas card? Well he is two, and yes if you’re wondering, that last photo is of him eating dried field corn. A growing boy does need his carbs, and besides, I forgot to pack a snack.

From my crazy life to yours Happy Holidays!!!

It's a girl! You might remember we discovered during Stephanie and Allan's maternity photography session that they weren't finding out the sex of the baby. Well now we know, and what an absolute beauty she is. I can easily pick out one word for how her new parents feel about her: euphoric. I love seeing parents so blissfully happy about their new little miracle.

I love how quiet it can be in the early morning along the shoreline of Moses Lake. The water was as smooth as glass when I photographed the lovely "M" family. They made such a charming trio, don't you think? I absolutely fell in love with their adorable son. He's at such a fun age where he's old enough to hold his head up and smile, but still all chubby cuteness and snugly. Talk about giving me serious baby fever.
