Three Little Ladies
We beat the rain today and I was able to do my session with these three lovely ladies- one who even wants to be a photographer! Maybe she will be doing pictures for me one day :)
Here is just one for tonight.

3/4 of a year...
It's so much fun to be able to follow someone for the first year of their lives, and capture how much they change in such a short time. I am lucky enough to be able to do that with little L. I can't believe it was 9 months ago I was photographing her as a sleepy little newborn- and now she is looking like such a big girl! She is adorable and can't help but to make you smile. I always look forward to my sessions with you, H. Family! I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon :)
Here is a quick little sneak peek for you! (because I couldn't wait)

Ten on Thursday
In an effort to keep up with this blog more than I have been, here we go....
1. I can't believe May is halfway over. This year has gone way too fast already. I need more hours in my day to accomplish all I want to in the 7 1/2 months left.
2. I love the song 'Remember When' - it just came on my iPod. If you've never heard it, look it up.
3. A fellow photographer has me inspired to pick up my old film SLR again- I loved that thing so many years ago. It was my first camera that was my own from my dad. I think this will be my goal for next week. Stay tuned to see what I come up with :)
4. I miss 70 degree weather. I shouldn't have to wear sweatpants and coats in May.
5. I am 8 months away from going to Disney World and I CAN NOT wait. I can't wait to see the look on Luke's face when he sees Micky Mouse in person. It's going to be awesome.
6. In 2 weeks we are having our family pictures done by my fabulous photographer friend Christina - I am thrilled! She is amazing and I'm so lucky to have her do our photos. Sadly this is the best pic I have with my kids since the last time we saw her :) (credit to the hubby and our awesome p&s!)
7.We bought a new vacuum lat night. Is it sad that is the highlight of me week? I got such a GREAT deal at Kohls.
8. I wish I could look forward to weekends. While working weekends has it's perks, it's also a major downfall in itself.
9. I love this kid. Seriously. How could I not? He cracks me up, constantly.
10. Being a mom is the easiest and hardest thing I've ever done. When you decide to have children- you know life is going to change- it already has- but you don't know how, how much. I never knew how much my heart could grow until I had my kids. I never knew how completely you can love someone with your entire heart and soul. How you worry about someone so much, but know you have to let them learn by letting go. How I get to the end of the day and don't know how I'm going to entertain them for one more hour- but I miss them when they are in bed. I love how they can make you laugh in the midst of driving you crazy. I also never knew how children have the ability to make time fast forward- I wish it would stop, just for a little while.
My family is the reason I do everything I do. And while my children perhaps were not the reason I picked up photography, they are the reason I will continue it, and why I love it so. I want to be able to look back and remember all these crazy every-day moments we have that I love.
That was really long, but it was on my mind :)

Well said- why I do what I do
"...I showed this video to my husband after I had been shown the video at a Photography Seminar in Dallas... and HE got a little weepy thinking about his father that passed when he was 11 years old... and that the ONLY photograph he has of him is hanging in his Mother's house, and there are NO other copies of it! It has already survived one fire and she won't send it to me to create another copy of it for him. I guess she is too afraid of what could happen to it in transit because there is NO AMOUNT of money that could now replace that image that was printed on a $10 piece of paper 30 years ago! When you think of it all like that... it is very overwhelming.
People... don't wait to capture those memories because you think you are too fat, that you want wait to loose those 10 pounds, or grow your hair out another 3 inches... DO IT NOW. You may not get another chance. I hear from my new Mom's all the time at the Design Consultations ... "oh, I don't want to be in the portraits with the baby, I am too fat! I just want pictures of the BABY." And you know what my response is back to them... "I completely understand! I feel the same way, but I am really not doing this for you! I am doing this for your baby! In 30 years from now, don't you think your son or daughter would love to look back and see images of their Mom and them? To see how much you loved them and wanted them? They are not going to think... 'wow Mom, you sure were fat', they are going to think how beautiful you were and how wonderful of a gift you gave them 30 years ago by having that portrait done!"
I became a Photographer because I loved the Art. I stay a photographer because of how important of a job it is in the lives of our future generations! I beg you not to wait to capture a family portrait... even if you don't choose me as your Photographer for what ever reason, just choose someone that will create the family portrait you and your future generations will be able to cherish for a lifetime."

Lions and tigers and...
... tiny babies in teddy bear hats! What an adorable, laid back little guy I met this gorgeous Sunday afternoon. He tried hard to stay awake and not miss a single thing (along with big brother, J) but this beautiful weather put him right out. So here is just one for tonight, as promised. So very nice meeting you today! Enjoy...
