Chubbyfoot Chatter

the prize

sorry for the delay in posts.. this is the culprit =)

happy packages are going out to all my families!

I'm having a blast seeing everyone this year. The kids are growing so much and it's always a fun reunion. And nice to meet some new families too!
here's a precious email that recently graced my inbox.. thought I'd share..
"Mackenzie -
You are amazing! I know I say that every time, but seriously!!! Ithink the pictures you take of our kids are the most special thing I own, and I'm very blessed by your talent!!
Thank you a million times.. You made my day.. Week.. month... "  RH  =)

see?? How can I not love my job??

Ok, so all sappiness aside.. on to the christmas card contest!
I'll wait until January when everyone has had a chance to enter, and I'll post everyone's on the blog and give you a chance to vote. Winner gets a custom book showcasing the photos from your session, created by me!
here's an example of one I created from our Greece trip this summer..





and while I was at the williams' home last month, mom had this set out for the holidays from our session last year (which really prompted the idea for the prize!)



so, happy card making and holiday season! Hopefully I'll be back to check in before then!

this is when it pays to follow the blog =)

Ok, so I'm going to have a contest. Will announce details soon, but it will involves us all judging the best christmas card this season!!

loved this mom and daughter duo hanging in the city...


and how cute is this family of 5?

the grandparents jumped in a few as well..

yuo might recognize this handsome crew

and the littles

I loved meeting these guys for the first time. I believe this was mom's bday present =)


and it was fun seeing these guys again!
they'd added little miss priss since I saw them last!


how cute are they??

and yet another sweet 3-some that is too cute for words..


thanks for looking! =)

do not be alarmed

i don't mean to frighten you by the speediness of this post. I actually took these pictures YESTERDAY!! And as I was sifting thru, a few caught my eye and I had the novel idea of posting them before 6 months have passed =)
enjoy...
first up yesterday. the adorable c and k.

loving this toothless smile...

new friends from katy, tx. the big guy playing with me.

and sweet little sis

mmm.. yumminess

love this one. Maybe I'm partial b/c they remind me so much of a certain 7 and 5 year old blondie at home??

more fun with these guys

last time I saw these guys, they were toddlers. what a fun, beautiful family they've grown into!

some lovin' in the park

the lovely burns family. Mom always does such a great job of corrdinating everyone. Dad is a good sport =)

their handsome fella

ok.. are you ready to smile??

and his lovely fan club

last but not least.. the sweet Thomas family. The rain held out for us and look what we got.. all 5 looking adorable as ever!


thanks for looking!
So as you can see the Christmas card season is in full swing. So fun seeing these sweet families grow from year to year!

mmmm... fall

Anyone else out there giddy over this weather? I know that it's probably not here to stay, but I'll take what I can get.. particularly for my morning runs AND photo shoots! It's so much nicer when the sweet family I'm shooting isn't wiping away sweat =)

Looking back.. here's some families from last fall that were bundled up and keeping warm..
these guys were great fun.. and beautiful to boot!

thanks for looking!

discovery green

I have several people asking me about photos at discovery green. It's a great urban, yet green space in town that lends itself to fabulous photos!
see for yourself -
the johnson family...

and the kappler peelers, et all...

pretending it's cold outside =)

good to see you again

I'm nearing my favorite time of year. When I get to see all my sweet families. Some I've seen for 6, even 7 years now, and it's so rewarding to see their families growing!
here's the sweet French family

see you guys in November =)

next up is some faces you must surely recognize by now! This handsome guy was not quite 2 yrs old when I first got a hold of him.  And how has his family grown!



and their adorable cousins..



;ove seeing you girls! Can't wait to see what grandma has for outfits this year =)
and the lovely Purtzers.. I've enjoyed seeing these sweet boys over the years.

one of my favorites!

love seeing you all! thanks for letting me be a part of your holiday tradition!

generations

happy birthday to my sweet mom who wanted just one thing for her bday. can you guess what it was? Pictures!
 
it was an added bonus this year, b/c my grandparents were here as well. I know we're all about taking pictures of the kids, but it's quadruple the fun to get 4 generations together as well!
This year, all of us girls are 5's. 5 years, 35, etc.. you get the idea =)
 

looking back, here's some special generation photos to share...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
thanks for looking.. and don't forget to break out that camera and take pictures of everyone.. the "growing" and the "grown"!

I only have eyes for you...

growing up, I was always the favorite child. well... I can safely say this b/c I was the only! =)
So is the case with the following sweeties.. (well at least they were when these photos were taken)
love these little families of 3.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
  
 

mamas and their boys..

 there's something special about a mama and her boy. It's hard to explain.. better to show =)
