Too Early? Nah.

My good friends Angie and Ashley are creative beyond creative.

Don't tell them, but I seriously copy everything they do. Ashley gets a new wrap-style baby sling? Me too. Angie goes all-cloth on diapers? Me too. Ashley makes Polenta Lagsana? Me too. (read: I'm hip.)

In addition to being fabulous women, they are fabulous photographers. I fell in love with their work when I was parusing the internet, awaiting a shiny ring on my left finger. Yes...I booked my wedding photographers before I was technically engaged. I know, I know... I know. I couldn't help myself. They were that good.

They also took pictures of Olivia when she was 12 days old. I am so grateful for those pictures, because I don't remember them being taken! I was so tired and hormonal that it all went by in a haze, and now I look back at the black & white shots of mother and daughter and I sigh because at least I have those memories on film. (Yes, Angie and Ashley still shoot with film. I love them.)

So they are doing cute Christmas cards this year, and unbeknownst to me, they used our family as an example on their blog. So I figured I would show the pictures to you, because I think I'm going to order my Christmas cards this year.

Here you go:


So sweet! Makes me ready for Christmas!

Oh. My. Gosh. Beautiful. Seriously beautiful. I have also loved Angie and Ashley's work. They took my friend's wedding pictures, too.

And of course, my dream is to be a photographer someday so they're awesome inspiration, too.

You are going to have the BEST ever Christmas cards this year.

It's good thing my friends don't read blogs. I look too clean in those pictures. The only thing those pictures are missing is another little one, and maybe a happy dog or something.
