I think one of the nice things about the Slices of Life mini sessions is that they give someone who hasn’t had a full session with me the opportunity to sample what a lifeXpressions session is all about. This was the case for the first family I’m sharing today, allow me to introduce Lexi & her beautiful family. Lexi is only 8 years old but already has more personality than most of the adults I’ve met in my 30some years. What a hoot she was, she had ME laughing almost the entire time! Lexi’s Mom has seen the work I’ve done for her sister’s family over the years but for whatever reason hadn’t had her own lifeXpressions session yet. I’d like to think that she’s starting to wonder why on earth she waited so long. <grin>

I don’t know about you, but as the mother of an 8 year old myself, when I first saw this next photo I got a big smile on my face and sighed. Nothin’ beats a little unprovoked snuggle, especially once they reach the age where they think they’re “too big” for snuggles. <sigh> They grow up way too fast. Thanks for coming out to the mini sessions guys, I hope we meet again soon!

I’ve got one more lovely family portrait session to share before I close this post. Anybody recognize this handsome little man? Hmm, maybe not, Liam has grown quite a bit since his debut in the Big Book of Babies. Gosh, come to think of it I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he’s grown more than 4 inches just since our session this past February. Almost 4 years old already and such a clever little guy.

Liam’s Mommy understands how fast time passes and how important it is to document your life with photos. She booked a spot in the mini sessions not only for updated holiday photos to send to friends and family, but also as a gift for Liam’s nanny who has been taking care of him for years. What a sweet gift! I’m only sharing one of Liam, his Mommy and his Nanny all together – I certainly don’t want to be responsible for spoiling any holiday surprises!
