cindy & ashley

ahhhh, sigh of relief....the final shoot of the year for me. :) What a beautiful one at that to end the year!

I promised myself I would not take on any more sessions past the first week of December so I could keep up with the annual Holiday CRAZINESS but Cindy snuck in there somehow. I don't think it had anything to do with the fact that she invited Ben and I to her TWO amazing Holiday dinners at her home (during Thanksgiving week and last weekend) where she served multiple courses, arranged a beautiful table setting for us and popped open about five or six amazing bottles of wine. Oh yea, and just about everything was made from scratch including some yummy cornbread and deserts to-die-for AND she would not let anyone help do dishes or clean up. So, what can I say...I can be bribed I guess.

These two lovely ladies were such a joy to photograph. Can you tell they're related? Not at all, right? :) :) :) I love this first pic (which was the last shot) with the carousel in the background. The color is so dreamy.
