Merry Christmas

I hope all of you are enjoying this wonderful season. There is so much fun to be had! I have been having a lot of fun myself! So many pictures to share but not a lot of time to get them on the blog! I will be closing up the Sarah D shop today and be closed through the new year. I have been so busy this month I have barely had time to sleep! So, I will be catching up on all of that for the next week and a half. My family and I are packing up the car and heading to the lake. A week of snowmobiling, snowmen, and snowball fights. It sounds dreamy and I can't wait for the fun to begin!

I hope your holiday is equally as fun! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Auction for Jenny

I am participating in an auction to benefit a wonderful woman who has had it hard for too long. You can learn more about Jenny here. Her lovely daughter wanted to do something great for them so she is holding an online auction to raise money to help pay the mounting medical bills. So here is my small contribution...

The auction will be held from December 11th through the 13th. To see all the other things that have been donated check out her website here. I hope you all reach out and help someone in need this holiday season.

Love to all!

This sweet little newborn was an angel. She was so happy and content. She didn't cry a peep. I love when they are so very little the fit in the crook of your arm. They mold to you and sleep or stare. My 10 month old feels like a giant after holding this little thing. I can't believe how quickly they grow. It is magical to get to be a part of this special time.

Elf on the Shelf

If you haven't read this cute book you must! I am so happy we were introduced to it. My kids are on their best behavior for our little house elf! I just can't get enough of this new holiday tradition!

Call Upon the Shelf to schedule your session with the Elf on the Shelf today!

Gotta Love it...

Isn't she gorgeous?

Olson Family

I love this family. Like, really love this family. Rachel is the BEST! I tell her that a lot and it is absolutely true. I have taken their pictures for a few years now and I look forward to it every year! This year was especially fun. Rachel wanted to do two seperate sessions, one indoor and one outdoor. The indoor session focused on the kids, mostly Tyce since he is getting so big, but it's hard to resist her other two cuties so I got a bunch of them too. The second session Rachel scouted out an apple orchard for some family portraits and it couldn't have been more perfect! I had a really hard time narrowing these down so I hope you don't mind the abundance of these pictures!

First off, the indoor session...

Rachel got the kids these super cute outfits in Germany this summer. Too cute!

Here are the pictures from our Apple Orchard Session...

TJ is a State Farm Insurance agent and this is his awesome truck! I want one of my own, if only to use for my photography! He wanted a fun picture to put in his office. Seriously love the truck!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas...

I love this time of year! I love the lights, goodies and decorations. I love the carols, candles and good cheer. It is magical. One of my all time favorite parts of the year is the exchange of Christmas Cards. I love checking my mailbox every day excited to see who sent us a card and well wishes. I love packaging and sending out my own warm fuzzies to those I love and care about most. That is what this holiday is about. Sending love and feeling it in return.

Happy Holidays!

Henrie Family

Love this family! We are related so that may have something to do with it! Briggs is a boy on the run! He kept me on my toes the whole time! The smile never left his face, it was great! Thanks, guys, for a great afternoon!



The Burt Family

Loved meeting this sweet family! It was so fun to watch them interact and help eachother. I have been to this location a hundred times and somehow never managed to find this spot... I am in heaven! I absolutely LOVE it! I'm so glad we found it, Alyse!

Another Sweet Family

Love this family. So sweet, so happy. Had a great time taking their pictures. And visiting. But I must say I am still holding a grudge, Brandon, don't mock the wheels!
