PSA: the end . . . for a long while, anyway.

**This is a sticky post.  All new blog updates can be found below this permanent announcement.**

Lizzie Jane Photography is no longer scheduling photo sessions.  Liz is on a photography hiatus until her kids graduate from homeschool high school.  :D  Liz would like to focus on her munchkins while they are still in their formative years (and still like to hug and kiss her).  She wants to read with them, play with them, talk with them, cook with them, explore with them, cuddle with them, laugh with them, sing with them, dance with them, experiment with them, travel with them, and just generally soak them all up and bask in their fleeting youth.  Liz loves her kids more than photography, which is why she has to give up something she loves for something she loves more.

*Note from Liz: to any and all who have recently mentioned scheduling a photo session with me in the near future, I offer my sincere apologies and beg for your forgiveness and understanding.  I also wish I could recommend another photographer for you, but I don't know any in this area.  Sorry!

More Ashley

Because you just can't get enough of this girl!  Ashley = awesome.

Ashley . . .

. . . is simply stunning.  Don't worry, there are more, Ashley.  I just couldn't wait to share this one.  You are BEAUTIFUL!

Sneak Peek: Poulson, Poulson & Co.

What a pleasure to meet these wonderful, happy, hilarious people! Their little family is darling, with kids ranging from three girly girls to a scrumptiously rolly mini man. These folks were game for anything, even asking for some of the more energetic photo ops like vaulting into the air (both parents doing so with little ones in tow)! So, so fun. I can't wait for them to see these. I know I say this every time, but there really are so many more good ones! I curse blog etiquette for demanding that bloggers do not share 200 pictures in one post. Here you go, Lyric. I *FINALLY* finished your sneak peek. :D Enjoy!

For Amber

Amber has been my #1 fan for as long as I've known her. She comments on all my photography session posts and praises me up the wazoo. Everyone needs a fan like Amber! She makes me feel like I'm the best photographer in the world (which I'm not - not even close!). So I gifted Amber a photo session to show my appreciation for her wonderful encouragement. I tracked her down in Utah while I was there and made her drag her sweet family out to the mental hospital for some photo fun. I got so many awesome pictures. I cannot even tell you. So this is sneak peek #1 for my #1 fan. There will be more. I just can't help but share with the world the awesomeness that is the P family. :D THANK YOU, AMBER!

William

What a big name for such a little guy. Mom is gunning for Liam as a nickname, but so far it just doesn't jive with Dad. So, for now he's sticking with William (and sometimes Will, I am told). Here he is in all his chubby infant glory. What a darling, darling boy.



Big sister (who apparently normally loves to smother baby with love but wouldn't go near him when I showed up, camera at the ready, begging her to - go figure.) :)



Big brother





Baby toesies. Don't they just beat all?!

His grandma made him this amazing baby blanket. So cute!



Gorgeous mama

There were MANY, MANY more that could easily qualify as favorites (I have a hard time weeding out pictures), but I did my best to spare my blog visitors.  You're welcome.  :D

Crystal | San Diego Senior Portrait Beach Photographer

Crystal is one of THE BEST babysitters around and we are going to be so sad to lose her to college come fall. Gorgeous and talented, whimsical and fun, Crystal lights up a room with positive energy as soon as she walks in. She's friendly and happy and absolutely one of those enviable people who draws others to her just by being comfortable in her own skin.

Crystal is beautiful inside and out. It was a pleasure and honor to be entrusted with the responsibility to capture that beauty with my camera.

{Photographer favorite right here. Absolutely STUNNING! I love it!}
