The cold 'n chilly weather had us rescheduling to a much warmer day, thank goodness! Meet Jessica and the sweet Miss M.
Miss M wanted NOTHING to do with us at the beach - shells held much more interest for her than my camera and Baby Sister.
Tiny Jessica and her beautiful big belly - is it any wonder she delivered just a few days later?

Poor Jason. I explained that he was merely an accessory and his sole purpose was to make Sarah look better. He laughed. This next one looks great in person - not so much on the web though.
Bryce was released from the hospital this afternoon and is resting comfortably at home. His hand surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday and he'll have the stitches in his head removed 2 days later. Hopefully he'll be able to go back to school the next week but if not, he'll continue with the tutor.
Thank you again for all of the prayers!
Bryce is doing much better this morning and has been moved from ICU to a regular room in the peds department (at 17, he's real thrilled with that one) and might be released tomorrow.
Thank you so much for all of the emails and phone calls. Your support, prayers, and well wishes are so very appreciated!
My middle son was in a horrific car crash today. One where he would've lost his life had he not been driving a convertible which had a reinforced frame around the windshield. It stopped the back of the truck frame from slicing through it and kept his car from going under the truck he slid into. I don't need to spell out what that would've done to him.
He's amazingly fine - broken finger, bruised knee, gash on his head, concussion - and will spend the night in ICU under observation just in case.
Go kiss your children...

* bonus question #1: What is your favorite thing about KHP/KSeniors? Kimberly...without a doubt! You made us feel so comfortable and you are so easy to talk to. We had a discussion about me learning to do photography at our session and I am currently enrolled to start taking classes in January to learn some basics. And I've been on the hunt for my next "perfect" camera...much to Tim's dismay!
* bonus question #2: What is your favorite image from your session and why? Definitely the close-up of Emma where you focused on those amazing eyelashes of hers!! And the naked baby shot. Love that one!
* bonus question #3: Share something from your session - why you chose the outfits you wore, something funny or touching that happened at your session, etc. We always tell people about Emma chasing the sand crab and crying when Daddy would not give it to her. That was the only time she cried during the whole session...when she didn't get her way! This was a Celebrating Adoption session, so it really meant a lot to us to have these pictures taken. Emma had only been home for a month and she turned one the weekend we were down there. It was just really nice to have those photos taken so soon after she was brought home to our forever famil; and to see how she was already so well-meshed into our family as our child. That bond...I believe is so evident in those photos.
My favorite image from the session:
Cold. It was cold at the beach. Really cold. Did I mention it was cold?
That's not some fancy Photoshop work, that's blowing sand. brrrrrrr....
She's so sweet. So pretty. So smart. So... well, you get the picture.
