Its been a while....

I cant believe its almost been a month since my last blog post. For those of you that have had sessions with me over the past few weeks you know that December was one crazy month for Photography By Charise. Never-the-less, I thought I should get a quick post up to include some of my last sessions of 2007. All of these wonderful clients have already received their prints however I wouldnt want to leave all of my faithful blog readers without their preview from the sessions as well ;).

We took a quick overnight trip to Palm Springs to visit with my grandparents and my cousin and her family. While there I had the opportunity to shoot my cousin and her adorable kiddos.







Back at the studio I photographed adorable baby "A" for the 3rd time. He is so precious and always a pleasure to photograph!



The little business man himself


Bringing a little bit of holiday "joy"



The Chamorro family traveled to my studio for a nice big family portrait. Here are a few individual shots of the family.














The MacKellar family...I usually just photography sweet baby "P" but for the holidays the whole family came to the studio for a session and then we ran out for some "snow" photos by the christmas tree.







The Alvarado Kiddos....I often shoot little "L", hes the famous "messy one year old" from the cake photos in my studio. For the holidays he brought his beautiful cousins along for some photos.

The "S" Family

Another spectacular family to photograph. We started our session in the studio with the goal of capturing some 3 year photos of their youngest son along with a few family shots. Little "C" definatley gave me a run for my money, but in the end we were able to sneak some smiles and giggles from him. Our session lasted about 3 hours and let me tell you all three of the kids were such great troopers! After we got some shots in the studio we took a quick lunch break to refuel the kiddos and then off to the park for a few more family shots and some fun playtime shots of the kids. Here are a few of my faves from the session as I am starting to go through the editing process....just look at all the beauty pouring out of this family!

Take 2

I had the pleasure of shooting these cuties several months ago and was so happy to have them back in the studio for some holiday pictures this past week. "L" and "H" are always a pleasure to photograph, full of wit and charm you cant help but enjoy their presence. And of course, here are a few images from our session.
