My Five-Year Valentine

This morning I went in to wake Oliver up for school. I crawled into his too-tiny toddler bed, cuddled up behind him, and whispered “Happy Valentine’s Day sweet boy” into his ear. He turned his head, and with his hot little-boy breath in my face, murmured “I dreamed about you all night long, Mommy.” “Oh?” I…

clarita - a little watery eyes on this side…. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your three men!

Beth - so sweet!

kate - The perfect valentine.

Leacey - Oh man, Annemie, I love it! You definitely have me tearing up over here. Little boys are the best, and yours are particularly exceptional!

megapixie - Total, shameless, tear-jerker material! But every word of it true… I actually got all teary just typing it out. And Leacey, I agree: little boys ARE the best… you’ve got some wonderful moments to look forward to! :D

amanda - verklempt.

Anut Lisa - Eight minutes and twenty eight seconds of pure bliss. Thank you Annemie and Matt for sharing these beautiful five years with us.

Amy Bourne - That is AMAZING!!! They did a fabulous job!!

ben - ahh, the finished product…great tile job!

sarah - looks fantastic! great work with the colors and clean lines.

megapixie - Thanks, all… I can’t stop showering in there, now that it’s so far superior to our “master” bathroom (there’s been a coup!). Molly: I’m pretty sure we owe you some hours of labor, so just let us know when you’re ready to cash in those chips!

Last Portrait Session of 2010: Done!

How in the WORLD is it December 16th already? It has been a whirlwind of a holiday season here at Megapixie, and I’ve been thrilled and honored by the number of people who’ve entrusted their once-a-year-share-it-with-everyone-you-know family portrait to me. By Friday, I will have finished editing every last portrait session from 2010 to free…

Bert - What GREAT photos! What a joy they
will be to the family and to the kids when they are adults with kids of their own.

Joda - Wonderful portraits! The last B&W with the kids looking up is SPECTACULAR!!! I’d make that a holiday card!

kate - Beautiful. What a gorgeous family! Couldn’t help but smile looking at these. I love the way you captured their love and comfort with each other.

Robert - Nice work with four kids… that’s tough even in perfect weather.

Alyssa Meyer - Adorable! I wish my kids would smile in each others’ presence! Beautiful pictures, as always!!!

Molly - Woah, I’m #6 on the comments list today – popular post! I love the collage of individual portraits you put together. The group color shot is great too. What a great lookin’ bunch of kids, rain or no!

Ben - This is a great set. I particularly like the one where they’re all looking up at the camera. Nice work!

Jenn - Annemie – as always, very impressive work. Beautiful kids and the one with Cole making the goofy face is terrific – showing off the personality makes for a great holiday card!

Sara - Congrats on being done for the year!!! Way to go out with a bang!!! Merry Christmas!!!

amanda - love these! the BW looking up is perfect for a holiday card (and super cute!). But I have to say my favorite is the one where Cole is making a face. I saw it and my heart burst! what a beautiful family. You captured a lot of love here.
