A good mail day

A good mail day
I had a nice surprise in my mailbox. I took both of these pictures. The one of Alex was a true surprise too. I had no idea they were going to use that picture for their Christmas card. It made me happy.

I added some of our holiday card outakes to Flickr, as well. Merry Christmas!

Mike, Julie, and Bailey


Saturday I had the opportunity to take photos of my “older brother,” Mike, and his family (old family joke). Mike married Julie a couple years ago and they quickly had a daughter, Bailey. They asked me to take her one-year photos.

We started out in their yard and then went to a nearby park in Viroqua. We came back to their house and I took some close-ups inside by their patio doors. Julie switched Bailey's outfit and we took some more in their yard and then ended with a few shots of Julie putting Bailey down for a nap.

Bailey is so sweet. She has tons of blond curls and big blue eyes. She wanted to crawl and climb and stand and fall down and definitely not just sit pretty for the camera.

These are my favorites, though I had a hard time settling on just these. Mike and Julie will be receiving many more!
