Sharing one of my favorite Marietta Families…besides being the cutest things ever, they are very fun. I always love spending time with them and seeing the world in a new way through their eyes. They are so curious and they make me pay attention to things I might overlook in this big world.
Aren’t they going to have a gorgeous Christmas Card Picture this year?
I was happy to be the Our Town Photographer this month.
Meet the Mathurs! If you live in the Enclave, I’m sure you know one of these four or at least their spunky dog, Dempsey! They are the perfect Smyrna Family to be on the November Cover of Our Town.
It is a lot more fun with three kids! | Marietta, Gerogia
It was fun spending time with this family. I think we may have run a lot…that is pretty typical with any session that includes an 18 month old! I love how busy and curious they always are.
It is hard to believe that sweet little Grace is already 18 months old! This was a milestone session for Grace. She is so cute and still has just a little bit of baby in her but you can see she is really a toddler now and on her way to being a big-girl 2 year old. It is bittersweet that she has to grow up so fast. You want to keep the third one small longer (I think) but it will be fun to hear what she has to say soon!
Merry Christmas to this family. How fun Christmas morning will be with three kids under the age of Six!
Where has the time gone? I can’t believe Shelly is already a Senior in High School and thinking about colleges. She is so smart I know she will have many to choose from! {One word for you, Shelly: AUBURN!} Her Mom and I have been waiting for four years to be able to take her Senior Pictures. It was so much fun and I think she is gorgeous inside and out.

A blast from the past: Capturing milestones of graduating high school and middle school.

This sweet girl is just what you expect from a 2 1/2 year old. She was a bundle of on the go, non-stop fun. We explored, ran, jumped, threw leaves and laughed. I think her candid moments are the best because they really capture a little piece of her fun personality. Her family is so kind and patient with her and really enjoys all she has to offer. It is really reflected in her pleasant, easy going nature. All little girls should be this loved!
I have spared you a few days of super-cute puppy love so I leave you with one today. Meet Sherman. He isn’t too much of a puppy any more and he is just as cool as he thinks he is. He was so nice to sit for my picture. I think he almost smiled?
Christmas Gift Idea for Little Girls:
Okay, this isn’t really an “idea” for you but more of a confession of what my little girl will be getting for Christmas against mine and the CVS cashier’s better judgement:
Not just any Stompeez but the unicorn ones. I hate unicorns! I paid $21 at CVS oh and there is one more pair left for you! These tacky things are going to be in my house now but I just had to do it. You would understand if you had seen and heard the joy coming out of her as she told me all about them one day. She had seen them with her Grammy “at the place where you drive up for subscriptions.” She told me “they are a little big but I will grow into them!” So, it is done and it will be worth it to see her when she opens them on Christmas. When else in life will you ever be SO excited about light-up unicorn slippers? I’m glad we can indulge her one day of the year.
Merry Christmas!
We had an updated session for Cara’s 8th grade Yearbook dedication. She is such a sweet girl – as beautiful on the inside as the outside. How lucky is her Mom to have a teenager that will let her be in the pictures too? A spontaneous moment that I’m sure will be treasured for a long time.
Christmas Idea: You have probably seen many toy drives for Christmas already this year. I like to give to the one through Must Ministries. There are several collection areas and luckily there are boxes in my church to drop new unwrapped toys. You could check any United Methodist Church in the Atlanta area (before December 21st) and I bet they have one. MUST was able to help over 4,000 children last year from donations. It may not be a BIG Christmas for lots of us this year but think of a child not getting anything at all and it breaks your heart. It is so easy (& fun) to find little kid toys but I think teens in Cara’s age group that are in need can often be forgotten. Some ideas for Teen gifts that are being requested by MUST: Sports equipment, make-up kits, wallet/purse, clothing, books, DVDs, and Bath sets. My Sunday School class has adopted a specific family to donate gifts. Those teens have asked for several gift cards (Kohl’s, Best Buy), socks and curling irons. The basic necessities we take for granted are really needed as well (toothpaste, underwear, COATS). Just writing this makes me feel so blessed to have so much stuff and be able to give something to others too!
Merry Christmas! I am loving this warm weather and even had lunch outside yesterday. My allergies think it is Spring and are really giving me a hard time! 😉
