Tiny Tot Tuesday

Should I or shouldn't I?  For months I contemplated starting a Facebook fanpage for my business, but I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger.  And then Saturday happened.  I had an inbox full of inquiries, a computer full of files, and a head full of steam.  I needed an outlet, so I went ahead and put the finishing touches on my fanpage.  I'm so glad I did.  Thank you to everyone who has visited and 'liked' Photography by Faye Licari's Facebook page.  I'm really excited about this new piece of my business.

So where does this leave my blog?  I will continue to post on my blog and update my website.  The blog will be the 'longer' posts, while the fanpage will be snapshots and updates about projects I'm working on. 

Speaking of projects, Tiny Tot Tuesday is a new project I'm undertaking for my FB page.  Basically, you can check in with me on FB each Tuesday for an update on my child/baby sessions.  I decided to create a blog post to kick it off.  These images are from October when I gathered my boys together for a shoot with their cousins.  I'm kind of proud that I got them all to smile for 2.5 seconds.  :-).  Enjoy!













And sometimes you just have to let kids be kids...

Deck the halls

It's that time of the year again.  Time to haul out the pumpkins and haul in the peppermint.  Time to trade in the giblets for gingerbread and jolly old St. Nick.  That's right, it is officially the Christmas season, and I couldn't be happier.  I have waited patiently for Christmas 2012.  In all honesty, though, the Target elves almost convinced me to start singing "Silent Night" two months ago with their cinnamon scented pine cones.  And I gotta hand it to Meijer.  Their Christmas tree selection in mid-October was second to none.  But I held strong this year, and I let Halloween have its due with candy corn and scary masks.  I let Thanksgiving shine with harvest candles and a cornucopia of food.  Now, Christmas, it's your turn in the spotlight, and I'm looking forward to an entire month of mistletoe, holly, and Clark W. Griswold-style fun.
You might recognize this little guy from my post earlier this week.  Ben played the perfect Santa Claus, but I held off on posting these pictures because, well, they are Christmas pictures and earlier this week it was still "Thanksgiving" season.  Now that is some serious holiday restraint, no?  :-)

 I told ya we had some fun with hats.
 Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Fun with hats (and without)

Is there anything sweeter than a sleeping baby?  How about a sleeping baby dressed as a football?  Ben's grandma is to thank for his adorable football pouch.
 

 Biiiiiiiig stretch
We let Ben be Ben for a little while, but then we had some fun with hats.

 















 




 
Happy Thanksgiving!

Voss Family: Real Life

My drive over to Cantigny Park was dreary, but the clouds parted and the sun welcomed me in as I pulled up to the front gate.








I think she liked the leaves. :-)
