“Good news from heaven the angels bring, Glad tidings to the earth they sing: To us this day a child is given, To crown us with the joy of heaven.” ~ Martin Luther Wishing you and yours all the wonder and magic that Christmas brings!

She already appears to be a secure and contented angel -thanks to two wonderful parents who’ve loved her from her first heartbeat. Of course, she is extraordinarily beautiful! What wonderful photos to capture her essence!
This is where the real love begins!

SHE IS TOO PRECIOUS!!! I can’t wait to meet her. Lucky Catherine, to have such a talented cousin to capture her most precious moments.
There is no doubt it is a Happy New Year’s for Richard and Jennifer, but let me say it any ways Happy New Year’s.
Beautiful!! My favorite is the one with the white hat. So precious!
Claire, I went to high school with Jennifer. My X is a photographer and I am an artist. I have to say I love the lighting in all these photographs! They are all so crisp in detail yet still soft in tone. My absolute favorite is the one of Catherine Noelle wearing the hat with the yellow flower. What an precious little angel she is! Thank you so much for taking and sharing these gorgeous pictures! Best wishes for New Year’s 2010, Kirsten
What treasures these photos are now, and I’m sure will be for many, many years. She is beautiful.
What beautiful pictures and your beautiful baby. Catherine is certainly good in front of the camera. Many thanks for sending these our way. We will stay in touch. Dell and George

Claire–Your photographs are outstanding. Richard and Jennifer are so lucky to have a healthy, happy baby girl. I know how Marguerite feels since I just got my second grandson last month. Have a wonderful holiday season.
Claire, thank you so much for your perseverance and for braving the blizzard of 2009 to visit us in DC and to take these pictures of our dear Catherine. Beautiful work!
Richard and Jennifer — Congratulations! She is sooo beautiful. And with names like Catherine (my youngest) and Noelle, she is perfectly named.
Thanks so much for sending the announcement and the pictures. They are amazing for a newborn! Hope to see you soon. What a wonderful Christmas present.
