I know, I know. It’s not even 8 pm on 1.1.10. But it’s already been a great year. The twins turned 1 yesterday, and we let them rip into some cupcakes today to honor the event. It’s my version of the cake smash – only at home.

Red velvet cupcakes + white cream cheese frosting + blue icing = MESS.

Synchronized cupcake eating.

“Whatcha got over there, Holden?”

Awwww. Aren’t my boys cute?!? Unfortunately, my bathtub is not looking so hot. That blue icing was a bear to get off of the babies, and not so great for the tub, either!

I haven’t shared much for photos lately. Since Thanksgiving, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving (obviously), 4 birthdays, 1 preschool program, 1 holiday dance show, 1 church play, Christmas, New Years, and 1 mega-cool spy party for a bunch of loud, crazy, excitable 8 & 9 year old boys. Not to mention that tomorrow it will officially be 12 years since I got hitched. That’s a lot of celebrating! Hope your holidays have been memorable and exciting, and here’s to a great 2010!

Fall is here, and senior photo season is winding down.

I’m looking to add to my portfolio of seniors. This is where you come in! I’d love to shoot your senior photos – no session fee involved. I get some great images for my website and my portfolio, and you get senior shots without any risk. If you decide to order, I’ll cut you a sweet deal on the packages (like 40% off!) :-)

If you are interested or know of anyone that would be, contact me!

And while we are talking about seniors, here are a few sample grad announcement designs. I just plugged in random names and dates and schools and places, so look at the prettiness and ignore the actual text.

A little bit girly …

more manly …

and trendy.

Looking forward to hearing from you !

and i don’t mean me, of course – ha!

she looks adorable in a tutu …

she has the funniest expressions – like this one.

or this one …

she’s too cute in her dress …

everyone knows my theory that redheaded children are a tad bit naughtier than others (spoken from personal experience as well as the mama point of view) – but this little sweetheart totally proved me wrong. Such a good baby!

thanks for letting me take your pictures and i hope you are enjoying the the gallery, guys!

actually, a quick post-&-hope-the-twins-sleep-because-mama-needs-some-zzzzzzzzzz’s.

but i wanted to mention a few things.

1) check out the website – i gave it a facelift (kinda’ like the changes you are seeing on the blog). jenlessingerphotography.com

2) if you are currently using the new shopping cart, there are some awesome features. once you are in, your “stuff” gets remembered. so if you like a photo, you can add it to your favorites or to your cart. very snappy stuff, that cart.

talk to you soon!
