My son has turned 6 months old! I thought my first child grew fast, the time seems to be flying by even faster this time around! I love the 6 months age, starting to sit up, get control of hands, and personality really emerging. We tried solids today, (rice cereal), he did not like it, little bugger. We are loving the 40 degree weather and SUNSHINE! Sure beats snow storms and subzero temps! 
THANK YOU ALL!
There was a 3 way tie for 7th, so as mentioned on the FB, in the event of a large tie for 7th place, only 6 would place.

It is a new year and the slow season, that combined with the idea from Emily of Emily Schnick Photography, I’ve decided to giveaway a 11×14 standout to one of my 2010 clients! I have uploaded one image from each session on my Facebook fan page. The top seven photos with most “likes” will go into a random drawing for the FREE Standout with an image of their choice. ($100 value). Contest starts now `til 3am Sunday February 13th.
Here’s how it works:
1. “Like” me on Facebook.

2. “Like” the photograph you want to win from the Canvas Giveaway Contest album. Feel free to tag your photo or do whatever it takes to get votes for your favorite photo.
3. Tell everyone, friends, family, friends of friends, the guy on the street (okay, maybe not that guy). Spread the word and get those votes.
4. HAVE FUN! Vote for more than one photo if you’d like.
What in the world is a standout!? It is a print with a 1.5 inch edge (black or white), ready to hang. Here’s a sample:
This was fun to see how much Charlie has grown since I saw him last at just 9 days old. He is getting so big and is a happy guy! It was his nap time and I was pleased with how well the little guy did! Merry 1st Christmas Charlie!
MEET Saige Christine! She is the daughter of two of my very best friends! Her 4 year old brother and 2 year old sister are very excited to have a brand new baby sister! This little beauty was 7 lbs, 7 oz at birth and 19.5 inches tall. Her photos were taken at 6 days new. Congrats Amber and Rob and your newest addition! She’s perfect!
I feel like I went back into time when things were bartered. Quin’s parents are the talented owners of Cherry Glass, they had done a personalized wine glass for a great friend of mine that she loved! In exchange, I did this photo shoot of the incredibly funny, smart and adorable Quin!
I thought things moved quickly with one child, the 2nd seems to be going even faster! Perhaps it is because the Holiday season is fast anyway, or things have been a little crazy with a car accident (thankfully I was okay, can’t say the same about the car though) plus ice & snow storms. Hard to imagine it’s not even officially winter yet! Since Christmas outfits usually only get worn once, I vowed to make more out of them this year. They wore them to see Santa, they wore them for Mason’s shoot, and will of course, wear them on Christmas. Mason Joseph turned four months yesterday, he is staring to laugh, grab onto things and unfortunately teethe!
PS. Comments are welcome. 
I’ve had the privilege to photograph this little guy when he was two and a half years old, as well as when he was two. He has now become THREE and is becoming a child vs a toddler. He is a very loving child and full of energy! HAPPY 3rd Birthday Cole! (November 21st). One of his favorite past times is walking down to the park to feed the ducks with his Mama. This time, the water had FROZEN over, but he was still going to feed those ducks, so precious.
I was having some technical site difficulties; therefore, this post is much delayed. These are my son’s 3 month photos,which he turned on November 11th. Such a smiley guy, he is such a joy to us and his sister!
The Tvrdiks wish you all a very happy and safe 2010 Halloween! (little models, Maya-4, Mason-80 days)
