I wanted to let everyone know that I am having email and server issues. I haven’t been able to access my email since late yesterday afternoon. I’ve been on the phone for an hour with my domain hosting company this morning, running several tests. It’s not looking good because I’ve been passed along to another technical group. So, if you emailed me yesterday, I will respond just as soon everything is back up and running. And, if you are expecting your gallery this morning, I apologize for the delay. I am unable to access my galleries. My fingers are crossed that everything will be back up this morning. Unfortunately though, I will be out of the office until later this afternoon. I definitely would have preferred a Halloween treat vs. this email and server trick!! I need some M&M’s!! 

As the Presidential election gets closer and closer, it is very clear that our house is divided… 

our yard…

our twins (please excuse the iphone image)…

We’ve had some healthy debates in the house recently and our four olds chime right in! Regardless of your party affiliation, make sure your voice heard by getting out there on Tuesday to cast your vote!! Yes, even Storm Troopers can vote (well, with a valid driver’s license). Ha-Ha!! Happy Voting!!

I don’t know where the time is going, but November is almost here! I just wanted to update on the schedule. I am excited to say that this Saturday’s mini session is completely booked. Thank you!! With November’s calendar completely full, I am now currently booking for December (limited sessions are available) and January. If you are expecting and would like a maternity session and/or newborn session, please contact me at kristie@kristieserraphoto.com as soon as you can so I can see about fitting you in the schedule. 

Speaking of newborns, I will leave you with a few images from a recent session. Sweet little R.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with this super sweet family since the little one in the group was in his mom’s tummy. They had BIG news for me when they called to schedule their session… they’re expecting another addition to their family. Well, the girls in the family are totally outnumbered (even the dog is a male) , so it will be interesting to see if the little bun in the oven is a girl or a boy! I’m rooting for the girl, but either way, what an amazing blessing!!      

stays together and has lots of fun!! That is so true for this family of four, who brought light sabers, a tea party and were all for ring-around-the-rosie at their session! I just LOVE them!! 

 One of my very favorite spots in Tampa, the Tampa Theater…

Tis the season for my holiday mini sessions… I’ve had so much fun with the most fabulous families!! I have another mini session that I am looking forward to this Saturday, with one space available. Also, I’ve had a few requests to schedule another mini session, so I have decided to add one more to the schedule. Saturday, November 1st will be the last one of the season. If you are interested in the space for either this Saturday or the November 1st mini sessions, please email me at kristie@kristieserraphoto.com asap. These spaces will be first come, first serve. Other than the mini session spaces, the schedule is completely full to the beginning of December. And, just as a quick reminder, all orders are due by November 7th to ensure delivery for the holidays. Ok, time for some images…     

melted my heart in one second flat. He is 100% precious and if I could have taken him home with me, I would have in a heart beat. His big brother is a super cutie too and is so protective of him. At one point during the session, I was swaddling little A. in a blanket and his big brother walked up to me and said, “don’t hurt my baby.” How precious!  

 Life couldn’t be sweeter…

Big brother… 

I just loved how he placed his hands… 

What a doll. She slept and she slept and she slept some more. I couldn’t even tell you you what her eyes look like (haha), but I can tell you that her beautiful mommy, proud daddy, big sister and big brother are THRILLED that she is here!! Me too!! She couldn’t be sweeter or more squeezable!! There definitely won’t be a shortage of love in their home… 

 Big Sis and Big Brother couldn’t be prouder!!

This sweet little guy recently celebrated his first birthday and at the early age of one, he’s already figured out how to charm the ladies. It just takes one look at his sweet little smile and you’re hooked! What a fun afternoon with H. and his beautiful mommy… H.’s daddy was able to join us for part of the session too. The three of them were so adorable together. I could have spent the whole day with the G. family!  

That she is. I couldn’t get over how alert she was at just a little over a week old. It was obvious that she didn’t want to miss any of the action! Hey, can you blame her… this is exciting stuff. 

Sweet little A. is one of four newborn sessions that I’ve had recently, so be prepared for an overload of cuteness to come on the blog!!
  

the cutest toes ever… 

The new family of 5… first and second attempts. I couldn’t resist including the first attempt because it was too funny.  

She has the sweetest eyes… 

I just loved this… two beauties…
