Oh, Christmas Tree!

Ah, the joy of picking out a Christmas tree!  It’s that time of year again when we take our annual trip over to Fidler’s Tree Barn to pick out our Christmas tree.  Let me first say that if you are looking for a place to find your Christmas tree, I highly recommend Fidler’s Tree Barn here in Harrisburg.  We love this place!  We have been going there for the past five years and have continually found the most outstanding selection of trees.  The trees are on display in their beautiful barn, and the friendly faces we find there are always so helpful.  So after a nice dusting of snow this past Friday, we headed over to our favorite tree barn and picked out our beautiful frasier fir.  She now stands proudly in our home where the smiles and wide eyes of two little girls continually stop by to give her a warm welcome.

    Great pictures Christine! Burrrr…..I bet you had the hot chocolate with marshmallows all ready for the girls after they worked so hard picking out their favorite Christmas tree.

My Littlest Birthday Girl

It’s hard to believe our little Sophie Bridget is turning two today!  It has been a year of many accomplishments for this little one who has a passion for dancing, a heart for helping (or rather, TRYING to help) and a smile that can light up a room.   HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my beautiful little girl!  I love, love, love you!!!

3 Kiddos and their 4-legged Family Member

I had a session this past Saturday with the most beautiful little children.  And tagging along with them was their “little” four-legged family member.  I had such a wonderful time with you and your mommy and daddy!  Thank you for a fun afternoon!

    Beautiful girls and images! Just adorable!

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday!

This past week I was completely honored to photograph a very special family in celebration of a very special day.  The triplets turned “TEN”!   I had triple the fun while enjoying my time with these beautiful kiddos!  Their mom and I grew up together in New Jersey, so you can imagine how happy I was when she asked me to take their family photos to commemorate this wonderful milestone.  Thank you S and R for letting me spend the evening with you all, and to C, C and K – I wish you all a happy 10th year that is filled with all the things that bring smiles to your faces!   Here is a sneak peek from our session.  Enjoy, and Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday!

    Nice shots of the triplets. Makes us want to travel to Hershey and ditch this years school photo’s. Very nice work Christine!

  • Elisa SchafferNovember 15, 2010 - 9:08 pm

    LOVE THEM! and the pictures too. They look awesome. They are definitely inspiring me to do something better for my girls for sure, our school pics this year were such a massive disappointment!!! Christine I wish you lived closer to us!

  • Christine ChardoNovember 15, 2010 - 9:15 pm

    Thank you everyone! It was my pleasure! :O)

  • Doreen SchafferNovember 15, 2010 - 10:05 pm

    Great shots Christine. Loved the family pic. Also the one where Charlie has his arms around the girls. And the single of Charlie is excellent. Charlie is challenging for me to photograph as he seems to have a light sensitivity that makes his eyes water. The girls look great too. You were able to capture their personalities really well.

    Christine – Great Sneak Peek! Kids were so excited to see how the photos turned out…many thanks for a great afternoon photo shoot!

  • cindy cicconiNovember 16, 2010 - 5:00 pm

    Wow! I used to think that the girls looked alike…they are both beautiful! Charlie is going to be a heartbreaker. Great pictures. Cindy

  • Marilyn SchafferNovember 18, 2010 - 6:22 pm

    Beautiful photo. Great work Christine

  • TiffanyNovember 22, 2010 - 2:09 pm

    Those are fantastic photos. I agree with Cindy, these pictures really show the kids individuality. What a good lookin’ family!

CC and Jimi

I kicked off November yesterday with a great session and the cutest brother and sister duo.  I always feel so badly for my tiny tots when the weather gets cooler and I’m out there snapping their pictures.  But in reality, it never seems to bother them as much as it bothers me.  So I guess I need to toughen up a bit and follow the lead of my little friends.  So, as promised, here is a sneak peek for CC and Jimi’s mommy!  You have beautiful children “R”!
