Fireworks and Frostbite! {Williamsburg Family Photographer}

Sunday night was Grand Illumination here in beautiful Williamsburg, VA. We bundled up and headed down to CW. Luckily, my mom has connections and we had a great parking spot in the driveway of a friends brother. We walked down to the lawn in front of the Governor's Palace and claimed our spot. We could here the singers and the fife and drum band, but couldn't really see them. So, we hunkered down and waited for the fireworks to start. This is what the kids did.....

Once the fireworks started we were mesmerized. There were 3 different "blast off" spots and we were able to see all of them.

The fireworks ended and we were ready to go - it was freezing! The relatively short walk to to car seemed to take forever. But we made it, thawed out, and went for pizza. Yum!

In other news.....I got my first set of business cards! Woo hoo! I have handed a few out, and am eagerly awaiting more clients. So, call me! ;-)

And, as my wonderful husband pointed out immediately....I did forget to put my email address on them....oops! But it can be found on the blog site, so not a total catastrophe! Right?!

We see snow! We see snow! {Williamsburg Family Photographer}

We woke up this morning to the kids yelling "We see snow, we see snow!! There's snow on the ground!!" That first snow of the year is always exciting - especially when you are in a place where it doesn't snow much. So...up we go....into snow gear and out the door before breakfast. It was a good thing too, because it is now 2:45 and there is no snow left. 

Aww....I love them!

Bundling up for Grand Illumination tonight! Brrrrr

Fly, fly away... {Williamsburg Children's Photographer}

We went to a small airport here in Williamsburg last week. They have a great little restaurant, and we got to watch the small planes take off and land while we ate. It was so cool! They even have a little playground for the kids to play on in between airplane sightings.

I caught a few moments of my Cal while he played. He is so sweet - lately he likes to tell me "mom, you're the best mom in the whole world." (Melt my heart...:-)


Tomorrow is Grand Illumination here in Williamsburg. It will be my first - and I hear it is spectacular! They unveil the holiday decorations in CW (Colonial Williamsburg- I am learning the lingo!) They also have 3 different fireworks displays...so I am hoping to get some great fireworks photos. 


On the business front...I ordered my first set of business cards (gulp!) I can't wait to see how they turn out - and I can't wait to get some more fun families to photograph! Bring on the "jobs!!"

Thankful...

Well, it was a crazy weekend here! We had a full house of aunts, uncles, and cousins. I did get a chance to take some great photos of my brother Keith and his girlies. It was cold, but still fun! I can't wait to photograph Keith and Katie's new little one this spring! I can get my baby fix - then hand him/her back to mommy and daddy - yay!! ;-)

I'm so thankful for my wonderful family and friends. This was a hard holiday, as it was the first one without dad around. We cried a little, laughed a lot, and only fought a tiny bit. Now on to Christmas craziness...
