It was so great to catch up with this family again - it had been too long. Well not THAT long but when kiddos are so little they seem to grow up and change that much faster. These twin sisters are seriously adorable and they are super lucky to have such a cool fun older brother. Great seeing you guys again - thanks!

Just a fun little bit of news to share this morning. I entered a couple of my favorite images into the photography contest at the Erie County Fair this year. My portrait entry received “best of” and was in consideration for the tri-color ribbon - yay! My pictorial entry received an honorable mention. It made trekking down to the fair 8.5 months pregnant with 4 kids and a husband in tow totally worth it.

Early November sessions are currently booking and October is extremely limited with just one weekend session left - please book now!

Here are a couple of iphone pictures from last night at the fair. . . .

I really can not believe when I look at these two how long I have known them! To think that we first met when little R. was just able to fit into your arm now he is 4, has a gorgeous little sister who is almost 2 - wow! It’s like watching my own children grow up and its just so hard to believe. Fun as always guys!

Love that I get to watch this little man grow up over the next year (and hopefully after that too!) Thankfully we had some great weather yesterday afternoon and even though he was just a bit serious we got some laughs too. Hey its hard to be a model at just 4 months old right?! Happy to be winding down to the arrival of my little guy with such fun families - I am truly blessed!

All you have to do is leave a comment below and say why you would love a session with SH Portraits, would love a collage, or have loved working with SH Portraits in the past. Anything really!

And. . .because I totally forgot to post a Fan Friday last weekend - I will leave this one open to comments through 11:59pm TOMORROW and announce the winner on Sunday. So be sure to share the contest with your friends and family too!

I have some fun exciting news and things in the works that I will be able to share in the next few weeks too. I am just bursting to tell everyone but have to wait - so be sure to keep an eye out.

For now - here is an example of what the collage would look like and it is mounted on my standard styrene to protect it. Just frame and hang!
