First, some quick announcements …
The new website is finally done! If you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, head on over to my photography website and check it out!
Now that I have the whole website redesign thing out of the way, I can finally concentrate on the upcoming Spring season. I am hoping to get the newsletter out early next week, which will have all of the details on April specials, the Spring schedule, and my annual session giveaway. For first pick at Spring session dates, sign up for the mailing list by emailing me at kelli@kellidease.com or “like” my Facebook page.

And now, meet Aaron, who was all smiles and giggles in the studio, with possibly the cutest spiky little hair that I’ve ever seen on a baby:

After a week of warmer temps, we woke up to snow again this morning. Not much, but enough to make me long for Spring even more than I already had been. The kids are also on vacation from school this week, which means, among other things, that I won’t be getting much done around here! Just a few quick notes for now …

Have you noticed the new look of the blog? I’m working on a complete website and branding overhaul. It has taken a bit longer than I hoped (doesn’t everything?) but I hope to launch the new website in a few more weeks.

Spring booking will also start in a few more weeks, and I will kick off the annual Spring Session Giveaway. If you’re not already on the mailing list, email me at kelli@kellidease.com or become a fan on my Facebook page.

Finally, the Winter mini-session special has been extended through March. Click here to find out more!

And now onto the photos of beautiful eight-day-old Ashley:

I don’t know about you, but I’ve about had it with all of this snow! I miss sunshine and green and leaving my house. At least all of this time cooped up indoors has given me a chance to catch up on blogging. Not as much as I’d like to, of course – having the kids home every day doesn’t make getting work done very easy! Just one session for now, but one that I’ve been meaning to post for a while. I met this gorgeous little guy and his wonderful parents just before Christmas, so this post is long overdue!

Beautiful Shia came into the studio with her mom and dad just after Thanksgiving (which shows you just how far behind on blogging I am!). We got just one shot of her with her eyes open and then she was out. I love babies who make my job easy:-)


So chubby! So cute!

Mom and dad brought the sock monkey along for a few shots …
