Yay Christmas!

I am really falling in love with our new neighborhood Lincoln Square. Our little square has Christmas lights on every tree, garland with big red bows, a big Christmas tree in the square, ice sculptures in the shape of Santa, and carolers, clarinet quartets, and of course German potato pancakes, brats, and apple strudel. We wandered into a few shops, walked to get our groceries , stopped in for some hot chocolate and bought possibly the cutest tree EVER!

Cute boy, Cute tree = Very Happy Jessie

I love rainy day sessions.  I know for many a rainy forecast for your session can be a disappointment, but they always end up being so personal and a day to remember.
