And yes he was just as sweet as he looks. I enjoyed this little guy so much it’s a wonder his parents were able to take him home. I know they will have a special first Christmas with this bundle of joy!

The studio will be closed from December 24 through January 1, and will reopen on January 2.

Thank you to all of my clients who entrusted their precious memories to me this year. My warmest wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a happy 2009 to you all!
