Hi Everyone!!
So today I have Miss “M”!!! She’s completely adorable!!! If you have been watching my blog for a few years you may very well think ” Um, I have seen her before” because I took her big sisters First Year and let me tell you – they sure do look SO much alike at this age!!!!! I couldnt get over it!!! They have thier differences, but soooooooo similar!!! …Since her sister is amazingly beautiful, it’s even more of a compliment!!!
I love, love , love when they come in to see me!!! She is the happiest little thing too – look how smilie she is? She was so content – such a delight to photograph, like always ♥
Hope you guys have a wonderful day!!
xoxo ♥Shellie (& baby Matthew!)

Hey everyone!
Well, Thanks to no power last week, of course now I’m behind again with sneak-peeks which makes me SAD since I finally got caught up!! I know I have no control over it – I wish that eased my “control-freak” mind, but its doesn’t, haha. I’m going to try and get re-caught up again this week.
THIS is Miss “Z” and I haven’t seen her in about a year and OH MY GOSH she she get so big!!!! And her curly hair??? *swoon* She’s SO adorable, I missed her!!! Now she’s a crazy wild 2 year old and I loved every moment!!!! I remember when she was just a few weeks old *tear* SOOOO good to see her so grown up and amazing ♥ Here are a few from her session – you can all see just how CUTE she is!!!!
Seeeeeee, I wouldnt lie!! She’s a princess, isnt she?!?!?!?!! Love her!!! I still can see her little newborn face, even if she is a big girl now 
I’m off to bed soon to rest my sleepy almost 7 months pregnant body, but at least I leave you with cuteness to enjoy for a couple days before the next Peek!! Have a wonderful week everyone!!!

Hey everyone – Just a quick update, we are having a power outage due to the ice & wind from Wedneday, It’s been 42 hours of no power or internet! SO in turn, no proofing, ordering, or blogging has gotten done, so you can expect some delays *sigh* (I’m quite bummed)
Bless my sister, Im using her internet today on my laptop or this little update wouldnt be possible!!
Please pray everything is back online today and life can get back to normal. Thanks for your patience!!!
xoxo~♥Shellie

Last peek of the day!
This is baby “A” ….oh how I love him! His mommy and daddy are super great and I love when they come in!!! We of course had a great time at the session and of course got great shots of Mr. Cutie-face, too!!! He’s so cuddly and snuggly, I just love holding him!!! I cant wait to see him for our next session when he can sit all by himself – he is SO strong, I’m going to guess he will be a “fast sitter” too, I just feel it!!
So enough talk lets get to his pics!!! Here are a few keepers, the boy is such a HAM, I loved his laugh-smile, it’s the bestest!!!!! SUCH A STUD MUFFIN!!!
I {big puffy heart} him, hehehehehe!!!
Have a good day everyone!!!!!!!

Hey guys!
SO, here is Miss “R” – she’s sitting up already!!!! It seem slike just last week we did her newborn session – time flies far to quickly!!! WAIT until you see her – she is ADORABLE!!! I loved SO many becuase she did an amazing job at her session that it was VERY hard to narrow it down for a peek!!! I could have posted 10 more easily – eeeeeks!!!
I have quite a few sneak-peeks to get up this week, I should have one everyday and 2 peeks one day!!! This coming weekend (Jan 22-25) the studio is closed - so Im hoping the following week to get some of my favorite fall sessions posted for you guys to see! BUT until then, here is petite little R in all of her glory!!!! ENJOY!!!!!
Everything is going wonderfully – I’m feeling great, baby Matthew is growing like a weed and is a kick-happy baby! We couldnt be more excited!
You guys have a great day, and I will post tomorrow!!!

HIIIIIII!!!!
I’m SO, SO, SOOOOOOOOOOO excited to be posting a REAL Sneak-peek, you guys!!!!! First time in MONTHS that wasnt a wedding?!?! YAY!!!!! I could jump for joy – but I wont because my baby bump just might not like that, haha!!! I hope you guys are all doing WONDERFULLY! We sure are – everything here is pretty fabulous! Lets see here, It’s CHRISTMAS time, My AMAZING Husband and I just celebrated our 10 YEAR anniversary last week, and we found out are having another beautiful baby boy!!! In case you were wondering he will be Matthew Joshua … So yes – life is pretty FANTASTIC for us here at the Benson house
I have missed my blog SO very much, once I discovered just how caught up I was this week, I quickly told my clients on MOnday I WOULD be posting Peeks for them, 100% and that just thrilled me 
It’s about time! …Thank you to all of my AMAZING clients over the past few months for being SO understanding as too why you couldnt have one – but rest assured – as many as I can Showcase this Winter I will do so!!! …so many awesome images I want & NEED to show the world, so the blog should be pretty hoppin’ this winter between all my newbie clients who are booked and my fall clients whom I’ll be playing catch up on!
SO here it is….the Peek fort Miss “A” and all of her beauuuuuutiful perfection!! The last time you guys saw her, she was a newborn – and boy did we capture some great shots them – but wait until you see her!!! She is SO CUTE!!! I just wanted to keep her, I’m not gonna lie – her mommy & daddy could have just dropped her off and came back to get her a week later and I would have been just fine Here is just a very LITTLE snip-it of her session – we got SO many GREAT shots, she’s just so content and did everything we wanted!!!
Isn’t she just to die for, cute?!?!?!?!? Oh my sakes, I love her!! She looks JUST like her momma too – so its no wonder shes beauitful!
Okay, guys off I go but in a couple days you will have another beautoful baby girl to enjoy so stay posted!!! Have a GREAT week!!!!!

Hey guys!
OKay trying something NEW! BOTH baby Plans are on SALE for the first TIME EVER!!! …if you have looked into the baby plans, you know they are both very different. Although BABY STAGES is our most popular Plan, “Baby’s First Year” is way awesome too – so I felt like they should both share the spotlight over the next month!!!
Full info on the sales are in the SHOPPE but here is a fast run down…
BOTH plans are $425.00 reg. and on sale for $395.00. However, there are some extra goodies, too!
BABY STAGES ONLY will also include an additional mini session, 20-30 minutes long (NO order minimum requirement at the free session)
BOTH Plans however have an added goodie!!! The FIRST SIX PEOPLE to purchase Baby Stages OR Baby’s First Year will ALSO receive a 5×5 album, holding 10 images from ANY ONE SESSION thru-out your year!!!! This is a SUPER deal, BUT a very limited time thing! Like I said, The first SIX people ONLY, so as soon as those 6 are gone, that added goodie is no longer included with the sale!!! (6 total, not 6 per plan – just being clear )
ALSO, something to keep in mind – I’m 18 weeks pregnant with Baby #3! That being said, I’m DUE April 25th – and most likely have the baby a little early in mid April. I’m really unsure at this point how much time we will be taking off after delivery & recovery - it’s really going to depend on a lot of different factors! I would have to guess that From April 19th- May 19th I will be taking very little if ANY appointments. We can ALWAYS schedule around me – but I did want to remind you guys so you are “in the know”!!!! If you have ANY questions or concerns please just let me know (shellie@shelliebenson.com) – I’ll be back to work as soon as my body will let me after this little peanut arrives – I’m far to in love with my job to be away too long!!! Thank you all for your wonderful support & love – and EXCITEMENT for baby #3!!! We love you all!!
Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING filled with love, warmth, family and YUMMY food!!
xoxo, Shellie & the peanut!
