I had a hard time deciding which images to use for this sneak peek. Partially because the S family is so photogenic and fun and I love so many of their images. But also because they are part of my Christmas in October special and I don’t want to ruin the surprise for their holiday cards by “peeking” an image they want to use! But her are a few images that I thought were safe to sneak peek for them.

As anyone that follows the blog knows, last weekend was my big Christmas in October holiday special. And boy did we have fantastic weather and a great time at the park. That promotion includes beautiful press-printed holiday cards, but did you know that you can order holiday cards without being part of the Christmas in October promotion? If you had a session with me anytime in 2009 and you’d like to use the images for press-printed holiday cards, just drop me a line at amy@amydrouetphotography.com. But do it soon! Orders for holiday cards must be received by Sunday, November 15 at midnight to guarantee delivery in time for your holiday mailings.

Below are just a few of my holiday card designs for 2009. My complete selection of holiday cards features more than 40 designs to choose from!

Maci has certainly had plenty of time in front of the camera lately. We did her 6 month session in the Quarter and then followed up with a mini session in the park to capture some fun images of Maci in my tutus and in her Halloween costume. You can see an example of the cutest little duckling below. And now to round it out, here are a few of the tutu shots. Isn’t she adorable?

The boys and I stopped by the park this morning to get a few quick pictures of them in their Halloween customes. Dylan is loving his knight costume – especially the sword! Logan was less sure of his lion costume, but I think he looks adorable. Not that I’m biased or anything.

Lots of my baby planners are hitting the six month mark it seems! For Lucy’s 6 month session we headed to the local “pumpkin patch” at St. Augustine’s church and broke out the Halloween costume, lots of candy, the orange tutu and pumpkin hat and – of course – lots of real pumpkins!

Look at the cutie that I got to spend the morning with. How lucky am I?

This was my Logan last year at Halloween. I call it, “The pumpkin ate my baby!” Appropriate, don’t you think? What a cute little chunker he was. It amazes me to look at this and then see how much bigger and older he is now, a year later. Walking. Talking (a little anyway). And into E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.

This photo reminds me of what a sweet, happy, easy-going baby he was. (After all, I did stick him almost naked in a giant, slimey pumpkin and he still smiled!) I just love it.

Well, since the Saints are KILLING ME this afternoon, I took a quick break from the game to look at some of Maci’s mini session images. This one just cracks me up. Can’t you just imagine what she’s thinking?

“WHY am I wearing this thing?”

“WHY am I laying on the ground?”

“And for GOODNESS sake, WHY do you have that silly black box in my face?”

LOL. I love what I do. Life is good.

I met up with little miss Emma last weekend for a second shot at her one year session. What a difference a week and a half makes! Her first session was about 90 degrees and 90% humidity. ten days later and our reshoot was downright chilly! Luckily this session was uneventful and we got some great shots.

Reid was stylin’ for our morning holiday session in the park. Seriously, how cute is he???

Just one for now… more to come later.
