Brendan : 9 Months Old
I know I said that I was going to post part 5 of Florida, but I didn’t have it all put together yet. Plus I didn’t want to make my sister-in-law Christy wait any longer for Chubb Chubb’s, oh I mean Brendan’s 9 month pictures. Isn’t he a total doll face? He is the sweetest and best baby in the whole world. I just love to squish his chubby cheeks.
I had to get some of him in just his diaper. He has some serious chubby thighs that I LOVE!!!
Oh he is so chubby!!! I wish Paige had been that chubby!
Cali O’Malley
Ok, first off let me say that her real name is not in fact Cali O’Malley. But it sounds so cute that is her nickname forever. The Ballou’s tend to give crazy nicknames from the get go. Here are some examples.
Me – Tonya Tulip or Tonya Toodles or Sonja Blade (This last one is all my brothers doing)
Hayley- Hayley Bug
Emily- Yemmy Yoo (well that is what I call her ayways!)
Garrett- Gerheart
Holly- Holly Dolly or Worm
Dave- Snorkie (I am so sorry Dave! I couldn’t resist!!!)
Brenda- Bernadette
Grammy- June Bug
Megan- Meggie Joy
The list could really go on forever! So I hope Cali will like her new nick name, because even if she hates it, she is pretty much stuck with it forever! I love my family!
Anyways . . . Here are the pictures I took of the adorable Cali. BTW I took these the same day as I took Clarkes pictures.
I think this is my favorite. Her eyes are so open for a newborn!

I love all of my Ballou girl cousins so much! I still can’t believe that we have kids sometimes! This little bundle of joy is my cousin Emily’s. Apparently she is the only one of us who knows how to make little boys! He is a little sweetie too!
If you follow the blog you know that babies are rarely seen here. Since I am primarily a wedding and senior portrait photographer I refer any calls for babies to my awesome friend Sandy. She is so talented with babies. But I made a special exception for one of my favorite cousins, just because I love her! I think they turned out awesome! It almost made me want to do babies more. ALMOST! Check it out!!!
P.S. Thanks Sandy for letting me snag a few props!!!
Bad Day.
I sat on my couch this afternoon a broken woman. It seemed like no matter what I did crap just kept pilling on. Nothing could break me out of this sad and depressing slump I had fallen in . . . until Alex came home for lunch with a big basket of beautiful flowers in his arms. How could I not smile? Alex asked to to be his wife 4 years ago today. Thanks my love! You really made my day!
Now on to business news, I was lying in bed last night thinking how stupid it was that my Christmas sale only lasted until the 15th. I have decided that these sale prices will be good until the first o December, which is the same day that all orders for Christmas will need to be ordered by. Don’t forget that Christmas Cards must be ordered by the 22nd! If you are ordering your photos online the promo code is: XMAS08
To the next order of business. . . I have been a very bad blogger. I had so much fun in October blogging every day, but I just couldn’t keep it up. I don’t know how [b]ecker did it for so long!!! I do have a few thing I need to blog
-UHS Cheerleaders
-Lili’s Maternity Session
-Katie and Robbie’s Engagement Session-Take 2!
I think that I will be up to date after that. Keep checking back.
Mucho Loves!

I have been a very bad blogger the past few weeks. If you are waiting for your pictures to show up on the blog I promise they are coming! There is also going to be some really cool changes happening at Tonya Peterson Photography…so stay tuned for those!
Today starts a new journey for me. On my list of thing to do there was one that was “to blog every day for a month” Well I decided that I needed to check that one off the list! So here is day one!
My little niece Bridget turned one a few months ago but I just took her one year old pictures a few weeks ago. She is the cutest little stinker ever (next to Paige of course!) She is a little tooth making machine. I think she already has 11 teeth! Paige still only has 2! Here are me favorites!
