Winter is on its way...

I know there are still a few weeks til Winter officially begins, but St. Louis has had such a mild Autumn and I'm not ready for it to start getting COLD!

Sending Joy and Cheer.

Shutterfly---Christmas Cards and More.

This year I won’t be offering Christmas and Holiday cards. BUT, let be honest… there are other options out there…Shutterfly being a great one! They frequently have awesome promos and you can order all of your holiday cards---cute and customized---for not much at all. My favorite part is that you can easily upload your favorite pictures and personalize your cards, or any other Christmas gift you want. (They offer all sorts of fun photo gifts as well and I especially love customizing calendars. They make a great Christmas present!) I've sent out their photos cards on several occasions and my friends and family have loved them! There is just a special personal touch when you can add your own photos AND it's SO easy to do!

Here are a few of my favorite products that they offer:

Steve & Kate.

Steve & Kate-- These guys are my neighbors and the BEST neighbors you could ever ask for! It was so fun doing this shoot in the beautiful autumn weather here in St. Louis. And the Grand Basin was a perfect location.

Loving Autumn Weather.

(Click to enlarge...it's really TOO cute.)

Yesterday my daughter and I went out to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL Autumn weather. I am LOVING it!!! She just passed 22 months and I decided it was time for another photo shoot. We had such a good time...she ran around, searched for acorn "hats", and marveled as the wind blew. Such precious times.

Abby, take 2.

Abby--- Abby is ALL grown up since I last did pictures of her (click here). She's standing up next to things, gets herself around and is such a doll! And I can't help but love that she is always SO smiley behind the camera. It makes my job a cake walk. So fun! Thanks, Becky, for a fun photo shoot!

The Petersens.

The Petersens-- It was so sweet working with this couple and their new little boy. It's always special taking pictures of a new little baby, recently welcomed to this Earth. And isn't he just a cutie? What a handsome little boy! Thank you guys for such a fun shoot!

The Davidsons.

Love these :0)

The Davidsons--- No they don't bear the Graden name, but they are part of the family :0) And they should look familiar....I've done a few previous shoots with them and think they're great! What a cute and fun family.
