Love you guys!!

So welcome to 2012!  Hope everyone had a great holiday season.
I was going to do a Diggin’ It-Over It segment…but it’s late and I’m tired.  I am going to list some of my favorite reads from 2011 though because if I love a book, I want to talk about it.

• Legends of the Guardian Kings Series by Karen Hancock Loved!  I will read anything Karen writes…can’t wait for her next novel to release!
• By Darkness Hid Trilogy by Jill Williamson This was such a fun read!  Love Jill’s humor and ability to create such engaging characters.  Looking forward to reading her latest release Replication this year!
• Firebird by Kathy Tyers The new Annotated version looks amazing!  This story has a “Star Trek” flavor to it.  I loved her creativity.
• Demon:  A Memoir by Tosca Lee Tosca writes beautifully, with depth and boldness.  This one left me with chills.  I’m DEFINITELY a Tosca Lee fan!  Her latest release co-autored with Ted Dekker- Forbidden- is on my list for 2012.  Can’t wait to see what the story telling talents of those two produce!
• Havah by Tosca Lee This was a beautiful and sad read all at once.  It’s the story of Adam and Eve after all…speculated.  What could have happened base on what we do know.
• Save the Date and There You’ll Find Me by Jenny B Jones That’s a link to her blog because it’s a must have on your google reader.  Forever a fan of JBJ because her stories are heart warming and make me laugh…hard!
• Kisses From Katie by Katie Davis Amazing, amazing, amazing!  I’m still mulling over this story.  Just know this is one of those books that will make you ask some tough questions.  Buy it!

Alright, I’ll stop there.  I just realized there are no male authors on this list.  I really do like books by both genders and read a handful by male authors that I really enjoyed this year.  The ones above just happened to be my favorites.
Movie wise, I was so impressed with the theatrical version of The Help.  So glad they got that one right!  Fans of the book would NOT have been happy if they messed that one up.  Also saw Hugo.  It was a very slow moving story BUT the cinematography and the lead actors were so fantastic, that I still liked it.  Look out for Asa Butterfield…that kid can act!  Most of the movie was simply his facial expressions…but he did them so well that it was interesting to watch.  In my late night editing hours, I have been watching Parenthood on Netflix.  I’m hooked.  Complex characters and good story lines.

I would LOVE to know what books/movies/shows you all would recommend.  There’s only a certain amount of hours in the day, so it’s nice to pick up/watch something that’s highly recommended.  Obviously I have a bent towards fantasy/speculative, but I read in all genres, so fire away your favorites!

And finally, a slideshow with the sweet little faces 2011.  So very thankful for each child and family I get to photograph.
And a big thank you to Scripture Lullabies for creating such BEAUTIFUL music and allowing me to use it on my site and in slideshows.

Thanks for inviting me to capture your sweet little blessing J & S!

Remembering tonight the amazing thing God did when He sent His Son into the world…
“For God so loved the world He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life.”
~John 3:16~

Thanks for inviting me to photograph your newest addition M & K!!
Joyfully, Erin

A little grin…

Nose to nose…

A forever friend…

During most of the session, the girls would pop a foot straight up into the air!  I had no idea that was common with breach babies.  Had to snap a shot when their little legs starting shooting up together

Thanks for inviting me to photograph your double blessings T & A!

Thanks for inviting me to photograph your sweet pea!!
Joyfully, Erin

That’s over 12 pound of love resting in mommy’s arms.  Amazing to think just a week before those two were snuggled together in mommy’s belly!

Oh sweet Gracelin…remember that little pout when you want an extra cookie or new toy Who could resist??

K&K… thank you SO much for inviting me to photograph your double blessing!  What beautiful little angels they are!
Joyfully, Erin

It was so funny trying to get a few shots of these two together…big brother as a tad bit hesitant, but so so sweet.

Love that God chose to start people out like this…

How can you not fall instantly in love??

Thanks for inviting me to photograph your newest little guy B family!!  He is just as adorable as big brother was!
Joyfully, Erin xoxo
