Okay - Ready, Set, Relax....

Almost six weeks, 53 families, 32 Christmas cards, and way too many late nights later I am proud to announce the 2009 Christmas Season for Purdy Photography has come to a close! Other than delivering a few more prints and cards, I am done with the holiday rush. Over the next few days, I will be posting some of my favorites from the last six weeks. To all of my amazing clients, thank you so much for letting me capture you and your children during this wonderful time of year. And to my incredible, incredible, incredible husband - thank you for being a single parent the past few months..... words cannot express how much your love and support means to me. Of all the thousands of images I have captured the past few months, this is my absolute favorite....

That's right - Purdy Baby #3 will be joining us in May.... Can't wait for that newborn session:)

Sport, Ganet and Baby Max....

A few weekends ago, I made an extremely long-overdue trip to Hot-lanta to spend a few days with two of my best friends from college, Kelly and Janet. The trip was fantastic! Kelly and her husband Gordon really rolled out the red carpet for Janet and me - we slept in the master suite on brand new sheets with a wide assortment of pillow options, we were served the Ortner-family coffee cake (traditionally reserved for Christmas morning), we attended our first ever Howl-O-weenie Fest (an entire event devoted those lovable Dachshunds and the people who adore them), AND - most importantly - we were able to finally meet this little hunk of adorable, Kelly's 8-month old little man, Max. I'm mean come on now, could he be any cuter.... Thanks for the awesome weekend Sport, Ganet, Gordo, Nancy, Rob and Max!

Sneak Peak....

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing ten fabulous families from my 'hood. Everything worked out perfectly - the weather was fantastic, everyone stuck to the schedule and the kiddos were wonderfully well-behaved and cooperative. I know my mommas are anxious to see a quick sneak peak, so here you go....

Party People....

Picture Parties are the best - I show up with my camera, one of my clients invites over a few friends to swing by every 30 minutes or so, and presto - fun family pictures are taken. Here are a few of my favorites from my latest picture party in the Heights. Thanks Nicole for putting this all together:)
