Thanks to everyone who “played.” The turnout for this contest was SOOO good, I will be sure to offer more contests in the future!!

Here’s a sneak peek from the second Celebrating Adoption session from this past Saturday.  We had a fabulous time despite the heat!

Thank you guys for letting me visit your world for a few hours.  I hope I can come visit and play again very soon! 

… did you think I was going to type LOVE? I was going to type “two girls under the age of 2 who are very close in age!” This picture shows some of the chaos of the day. We started out trying to use Jetton Park but horrible Cornelius traffic kept us away. Then we tried another park, but it was just too hot and the playground equipment was too distracting. We ended up going back to their house and completed the session indoors in the comfort of some nice A/C. I had such a fun time coming over to play with these little cuties and their parents. This was the first of my two Celebrating Adoption sessions this weekend. It is so heartwarming to see how much love adoptive families have for one another. Love knows no bounds, especially when it comes to loving a child (or two!).

Now that he’s 4 - he’s got a big kid bike…

Meet Miss A - the winner of the CKP Fresh Face contest. We had a fun few days of shopping and shooting! Her entire session can be found on my main website in the “The Art” gallery - she will be under the Featured Session section. As time goes on, I will periodically update the Featured Session section with one session to give prospective clients a better idea of how a session with CKP might work - and also make you wonder how on earth you would EVER choose what to order!

For the rest of you who entered the contest, your $$ off vouchers are IN THE MAIL - or hopefully in your hands by now. They went out in Friday afternoons mail.

I had a busy Saturday this past weekend with TWO Celebrating Adoption sessions. I can’t wait to show off the little cuties and their families! I had such a fun time on Saturday. The love shared in adoptive families is really such a special thing! Sneak peeks from those sessions should be up soon, so stay tuned to the blog!

Stay cool this week - it looks like relief might be in sight though! This weather is crazy!!

Until next time…

use your camera when you aren’t looking!! Or you end up with crazy stuff like this:

This picture literally frightened me when I was scrolling through the pics on my camera!!

You know what they say about payback….

Since Aiden’s birthday was yesterday of course I have to sit back and reminisce on the past four years. I took him out yesterday morning for a walk around town, and got a few pictures of him at this brick wall, where I had taken a few pictures of him last year right before he turned three. It’s amazing to see the difference a year can make, even though last year almost feels like yesterday…

and then here is the picture from last year - May, 2007.

That sweet little baby face is GONE! He’s such a big KID now - it’s amazing.

Until next time…

He turns FOUR tomorrow!  Where has the time gone.   He won’t let me call him my baby.  He tells me he’s a big boy.

We got him a bike for his birthday.  I can’t wait to see what he thinks about that!

And thanks G-ma for the balloons and card!  A was so excited when he saw balloons in his card. 

The new site - it’s done. It should be up in the coming days! Remember way way back when I asked for folks to flatter me? The flatter me section is up on the new one - and for those of you whose comments I used - you will get a little something from me!

Here’s a sneak peek of the new catherinekeene.com!

A new look to the blog is in the works too - I can’t wait to get it all up and running. It’s like redecorating a room in the house - you have to do it every few years!

Thanks to all of my clients who have trusted me with your memories! I’m so excited to show you off on the new site!
