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!

thank you for supporting the ymca! | central illinois family photographer

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!

answer to prayer | savoy newborn photographer

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!
