From our Family to Yours....

From our family to yours. We wish you a joyous holiday season! We hope you enjoy your children and see the magic of Christmas through their eyes!

Merry Christmas!

Also, I want to thank all of my clients for a wonderful year. 2010 was amazing! I look back at this year's pictures with happiness at all my repeat clients who I got to watch grow and my new ones with their fresh faces. I had lots of cute bellies, sweet babies, adorable children, and fabulous families to photograph this past year. Hope to see you all in 2010!

Finally, our family ornament card hanging in our tree....

Merry Christmas,

The Gabaldon Family

Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! ~ Scottsdale Child Photographer

I hope you are wrapped up in the merriment of the season! Shopping, wrapping, singing, baking, partying, etc... I hope you are smiling and humming Christmas carols amidst the hustle and bustle! I love this week before Christmas. Sessions and editing are done. Just a few last minute deliveries. The kids are off of school. It inevitable that someone is sick but there is still lots of time for fun!
Some images from a recent holiday session....

It was so great to catch up with my dear friend from collage. It took a photo session to finally meet her darlings. I had so much fun with these cutie girls! I was amazed by their big blue eyes!

I love this last image because this one is actually a true representation of how the photo session looked! She is FAST just like mommy!

9 BOYS!

9 Boys! All cousins. What a delight meeting these 9 handsome guys! 6 of them are age 5 and under. I was lucky to get them all in the same shot! I am so thankful to the patience of the older guys while we worked with the little ones! Here is the baby and some group shots too...

Thanks for visiting!

So Cute ~ AZ Newborn Photographer

I Love newborns! The fresh new start of a life! I think they are cute and precious. Apparently not everyone thinks so. Some see them as red, scrawny little things. When this precious little bundle was born, her parents said "oh she is cute!" and then they looked at each other and said "oh no we are already one of THOSE parents! We already think she is cute!" Well, guys, you are right! She is cute!

Take Care,

Carrie

Family of 5 ~ Gilbert Children's Photographer

Yay! I am so lucky to watch these guys grow! Little "L" was just a newborn at our last photo session. I first met them when they just had one and now they have grown into a fun, energetic, family of 5!
Hope your "pizzookies" where yummy after the photo session, you deserved it!!!

Don't worry mom, I'm done shopping and back to work on getting your full gallery ready for viewing! It will be ready soon!

Much More Fun! ~ Phoenix Child Photographer

"Carrie, this photo session was much more fun than I thought it would be!" Thanks E! I like to think that I am super cool , fun, and funny to a 7 yr old - but really I am sure it was the air rockets that won over the photo session!
Well, I sure had fun and fell in love with this downtown Phoenix location. It was perfect for these guys! Thanks to my dear friends for braving the bum and for waiting patiently for this sneak peek!

Dawn, I will have your gallery ready soon! You are going to LOVE them all!!

Social Butterflies ~ Gilbert Child Photographer

Trying to catch up on some late blog posts. These two adorable girls are little social butterflies! My Abbie loves to play with them! Its fun when good friends have kids the same age as our kids and they can play together. When my boys were born lots of my friends were having boys. Then Abbie got lucky and lots of girls were born the year she was born!

Wow its November already! Busy Busy! I have other sessions to blog soon!

Thanks,

Carrie

My New Friend... Scottsdale Baby and Child Photographer

I've photographed her before and she has always been my shy one. She was terrified of the camera on our first photo session. This year we played and sang and talked about Pablo & Uniqua. She became my little friend.

This year she brought along someone new! Her baby sister! Little "M" is a miracle baby. It took a lot to get her hear safely and here she is healthy as can be!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Girly Girl... ~ Fountain Hills Child Photographer

So adorable. Such a little girly girl. One of my best friend's little girl. I could post a thousand images of her!

Back From the Cape!

We had a fabulous vacation to Mass. Its been so long since we've been back to Boston. Right now I am gong through my millions of pictures. I have lots to share! Cape cod was just beautiful...

I'd love to go back here every year!

We go way back... - Gilbert Child Photographer

Way way way back! Now our 3 kids are growing up together. I am lucky to have a special friend like her to share my life with!

Thanks for visiting!

Loved ~ Scottsdale Baby Photographer

So Loved... This little guy has the most attentive loving parents. I was lucky to actually get a shot of him by himself!
I am sure mom would be happy to give a big shout out to Dr. Harvey Karp! There has been lots of swaddling, shhhhing, and swinging going on in this house. These parents have perfected the 5 s's which have really helped this little guy's colic. If you're pregnant or have a newborn check out Dr. Karp's book The Happiest Baby on the Block. It really helped me out when my baby had colic.

Thanks for visiting!
