Kids and Christmas

I love the Christmas season and I especially love watching kids around Christmas and the joy in their eyes. I have the awesome job of capturing that joy with the camera and sharing it with the world. Just like these shots below. Kids like these three make my job easy. Thanks kids!

In'Vince'ably cute baby!

Let me introduce you to Baby Vince. Warning: He's adorable. Now that you've been forewarned, you may scroll down to these images. And there's a bunch of them, as I loved way too many of them to decide. I will say though, that the first image posted here is quite possibly one of my favorite photos I've ever taken... Thank you Vince (and Mom and Dad) for taking some time to spend with us.

Speaking of that image, you will see it on the front of my newly updated website (www.curtisleephotography.com), along with a link to our Facebook Page and some new images and print packages. Enjoy!

Sneek Peek - Baby Vince!

Coming soon... to a blog near you.

Fun Families!

These are two wonderful families tied together by a pair of sisters. I'm so thankful to call them all friends, and was more than thrilled to do family portraits for both families. These are a few of my favorites, but I think I'm most partial to the first image of little Jonas. Can you see his beautiful new home reflecting in the catchlights of his eyes?

Thanks again to both families for allowing me to be a part of their holiday season. Merry Christmas!

Boomer!

Allow me to introduce Boomer, our family dog. I took this photo on a whim as he decided to walk into our office at home while I was working one day, and it is now my favorite shot of him. I love this dog and I love his energy, enthusiasm, and how he loves to just be around us all the time.

If you have a four-legged friend that you want in your family photos, I always encourage my clients to bring them along. Enjoy this special Christmas season with entire family, no matter who or what species they are!

Andy+Heather+Ella+Baby Girl = Fun and Laughter

When Andy and Heather contacted me about doing some family photos, I knew it would be a fun shoot. Little Ella was a blast and is really excited to be a big sister in just a few months! These photos were taken in Washington Park, in and around the Rose Garden, where Andy and Heather had some of thier wedding photos taken. Thank you Andy, Heather, Ella, and Baby Sister for a fun afternoon!

Spreading the word...

...about Organized Doodles! What's that you say? Well I happen to call the author of http://organizeddoodles.blogspot.com a relative of mine. My cousin (okay "second cousin" if you want to get technical) has a wonderful God-given talent for drawing.

His "organized doodles" are one of my daily stops in the blogosphere and I'm happy to call this harley-riding, incredibly talented, pastor my family. In fact, I don't think I ever properly thanked him for helping me out in college with a t-shirt design my freshmen year, so "Thanks Rick!"

Check out his site today and send him some blog-love...tell him I sent you. Or better yet, order a caricature as a Christmas gift for a loved one. Besides, Rick's just paid for a wedding, he could use the boost! :)
