The holiday break is over and I’m back! I’ve enjoyed the past few weeks away from Photoshop, but 2012 is here and I’m ready and rarin’ to go! The winter schedule is open, my first Sweet Pea Photography workshop is this weekend (only one spot still available, if you want to grab it!!) and the first few Beloved Family sessions of 2012 are under my belt. It’s going to be a great year, and I’m excited to spend it with your family!
It has been a while since I’ve photographed this family, and boy oh boy have these girls grown up! I love that during the first two years of your kiddos’ lives, as they physically grow and change so dramatically, I get to watch that process with sessions every 6 months or so. But, it’s also neat to see the dramatic cognitive changes that happen over the course of a year once they get older and our family sessions naturally spread out a bit… which has definitely been the case with these then-quiet-now-chatty girls! They talked my ears off with their sweet voices and funny stories, and I loved every minute of it. Thanks for a fun time at your new home in Mahomet on Saturday (can I please have your kitchen??) and I hope you enjoy these sneak peeks. As always – share them with your friends on Facebook because after 25 comments I’ll gift these girls a 5×7 print!

Yep, that’s right! Two super-exciting things! First, the Sweet Pea Photography winter schedule is now OPEN, with dates available in January, February, and March. Click on “session info > availability” above to see the current openings, then send me an email right away to request your session! Second, registration for the Beginning Photography class on Saturday, January 28th from 9am – noon is now OPEN! You will learn about basic lighting, locations, and composition to help you improve your photography skills, whether you got a fancy DSLR for Christmas or you’re just shooting with your iPhone! The class is $100 and will be limited to 12 participants, so click here to sign up now.
I’m looking forward to working with your family this year… 2012 is going to be great!


See? I warned you! So cute you can hardly stand it, right? I’m thankful that this sweet kiddo is the newest addition to a family that I love dearly, and I’m excited to watch him grow up. Congrats you guys, and thanks for letting me capture this exciting time for your family!
As a side note, the winter 2012 Sweet Pea Photography schedule will be opening up early next week!! If you aren’t on my email list and would like to be notified when the calendar opens, let me know and I’ll add you to the list. I’m excited about some fun things I have planned for this year, and I’m even more excited about spending time with families like yours!!
Today is this beautiful mom’s birthday!! She is a wonderful friend of mine, and I am so thankful she is in my life. Enjoy your day wonderful lady!

… it will be warm and green outside again… just a few months more… but until then, I’ll still be having fun spending time with awesome families like this one! Soon I’ll be opening up the winter schedule for Sweet Pea Photography, with sessions available in January through March. If you’d like to be notified when the schedule opens (because it tends to fill up very quickly!) please email and let me know!

Thank you to everyone who purchased holiday cards from Sweet Pea Photography this year! Because of you, Sweet Pea Photography was able to donate $800 to the new Champaign County YMCA!! I’m excited to see the new facility, and I’m sure this family will love playing at the Y when it opens in a few months!

I love this family, and I know they especially love their darling girls! It has been a joy becoming friends with them over the past few years, and watching God provide for their family in so many ways – one of which is the blessing of their sweet new baby girl!
