"Little Cooper is our little miracle" Dawn had mentioned to me. I thought I would share this session with you to spread some joy for this holiday season. Miracles are all around us especially this time of year. They happen every day in peoples lives, it is up to us to acknowledge and accept them as miracles. Just looking at the smile on Dawn & Robbie's face's when they introduced me to their little miracle, it was sheer joy and pride!
"Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle."
SMM: Reeeschell, you can take pictures of me making snow angles!
Myself: Oh SMM, that is a great idea, sounds fun.
SMM: Well you can if you want to!
Myself: I never made a snow angel before.
SMM: We could make a snowman too! I will show you how to make a snow angel!
Some people seem a little more excited about snow than myself. Sparky Ming Ming also told me to wear snow pants, gloves, hat, scarf and make sure I had my winter boots on, not my summer ones. I guess she knows me well.
So how could I turn down an invitation to take pictures of her in the first snowfall of the year!? Look at that cute face with the puppy ears!!!
Cute! To be little again and actually enjoy the snow...

I love doing maternity sessions outdoors because they can become much more exciting than in front of a cloth background. Of course having our beautiful island as a backdrop definitely helps! These were taken at Lakeside beach where a lot of my beach sessions are help. It was around 7 or 8 o'clock at night to capture that beautiful golden light.
Oh and if you seen the cute little baby that was on my Cans for Comments post, that is the new little son of Dawn & Robbie. Welcome to the world, Cooper MacNeill Bradley...born on October 29, 2009. I will be doing a bog post on little Cooper in the next few days as well.

The last time I had a visit with my sweet blue eyed Chlo Chlo, she started to take all of her shoes out of the drawer to show me. Of course I had my camera with me and thought this should be documented for later when she grows up and needs to see when her shoe obsession started.
Little Chloe has got to be the sweetest little girl in the world. She is very special and very loved!
Ah , Sweet Chloe, what a sweetheart! A great shoe collection!

Remember that Christmas can be great for many of us...and not so great for others. It is a great time of year to realize what you have, and for many what you don't have. Let's make giving happen all year round!
So it is simple...comment ANYWHERE on my blog and it will be tracked from today forward. Helping someone this holiday season has never been easier. Grab a coffee and start commenting!
