The Jacobs Holiday Card

I love any project that incorporates different art medias,

and since photography and graphic design are probably my favorite,

I had a ton of fun creating this holiday card.

Here is the Jacob's Holiday Card...

In hopes that St. Nick soon will be here...

I got a little crazy this weekend with some sequins, felt and glue,

...so that Ms. Fiona could have her very own Stocking,

as she begins to celebrate her first Christmas

The stockings are all now hung by the chimney with care...

Lucia in leaves.

I was asked to take pictures of this beauty last weekend and

I had such a great time chasing her around her yard

and catching her personality on film!

She was sweet, bubbly and simply hilarious!

Here are a few of my favorites from our mini-photo session...

inside jokes.

An old co-worker from Target asked me to design some onesies for her friend.

I wasn't really sure what a couple of the "sayings" meant, so she gave me some insight that the Optimator is a high-proof beer and

that Chicken Cordon Bleu Fingers is a favorite with the couple?!

Still not totally sure I know the whole story of the inside jokes,

but I bet they are funny to Baby Fait's parents! ;)

I get this one...:)!

A few weeks ago, we celebrated Jen and her baby boy who will be born in December!

She had specific requests for her shower gifts...a bag, a hooter hider and a onesie that says, "I love boobs like my dad"! Classic Baby Laene gifts!

Here is some of the homemade love for my dear friend Jen (and baby boy)!

The DJ bag

and coordinating hooter hider!

Jen Modeling her hooter hider!

Jen's favorite show growing up (and secretly still) is Full House!

Her nickname by her family is Bugs

Mike plays softball...get it!

enough said!

My favorite onesie to date, as it hold a dear memory for me.

Poor Jen..we will never let you live that down, will we!

Baby (DJ)'s new onesies!

Holiday Cards in October

Only my sister (and my mom) are this organized

and can plan for December in October.

Dani asked me to take photos of Ab & Sam

and then design their Holiday cards!

It was a productive Saturday afternoon....

took over 100 photos and designed 2 versions of their holiday card.

Only wish I could be that organized with my own family!

Here are a few of my favorites photos from the "shoot"....

The Cat in the Hat

Laeney decided in August that for Halloween

she wanted to be the Cat in the Hat!

Loved the idea and thought I had plenty of time to get the costume made. Needless to say, the costume frantically got sewn

a few days before our first Halloween event!

It must have turned out okay though, as people recognized her as the Cat in the Hat. I guess maybe the HAT helped too, but hey I will pretend it was my awesome cat costume instead!
