It's been a while...

I wanted to share some of a session that I did at a daycare a while back. These kids were so cute and fun! I can tell they like their daycare family a lot!


Thanks all you little ones! It was a fun morning!

Just why is it that we live here again?!

Yes, we are digging out again. Our area got hit with another spring snow storm. About 5-6 sickening inches. The good thing about it...it is gone in a couple days. But still, when a person gets to break into the capris and flip flops even if it was just a few days...it is torture to put heavy winter boots or shoes back on. YUCK.

Onto a nicer and waaaaay cuter topic. Little baby "K". Youngest of three, spoiled in a good way, look out Mom & Dad, I see a twinkle in those eyes that may spell...T.R.O.U.B.L.E.
See what I mean....

But mostly when I look at these I think ...C.U.T.E.



I am going to show you one that when I take photos like this, people often think it is a goof. Truth be told, these are intentional. It is just a unique, artistic twist on photographs. Something that is very popular. It is not the straight on shot, "rule of thirds" as they say in photography. His head is cropped, not "chopped". Photography is changing, they are throwing out the stand-by "rules", and giving enhancement to photos that are eye catching and different. I would love to mount this image on a large canvas. It is just too sweet. So, next time you look at advertisements or magazine articles, or even my website you may see this look. And know that it is intentional...most of the time. :)
Thank you family "K". I will love watching this little guy grow!

Leavin'... on a jet plane....

I do know when I'll be back again........on Sunday. I will be in VA for my best friend's wedding. You bet I will have photos to share. Can't wait to feel what spring is supposed to feel like.

I told you in last post that I would be sharing a maternity session from a friend of mine. Although we have probably been in each other's presence less than 3 hours combined...I think of Elaine and what she has been able to help me do and I feel...........thankful! She and I started our photography business about the same time. I can remember talking about the camera we were going to buy, and it just spun from there. I am thankful that we met, share the same passion for photography, and thankful that even though her life is calling her in another way, she has trusted me enough to refer her friends to me for their portraits. And thankful for all her advice she has given to me. I hope she knows her help has meant sooo much to me....well, since she is a self-proclaimed "stalker" of my blog...she knows now. :) This session is a thank you for all your help, advice and words of encouragement! Thank you Elaine. You will see the rest of these when I return.







TTFN.

I just got the best birthday presents!

To quote from the Beatles...."YOU SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY......IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOO!"

Yes, I am 35 today! And so far a GREAT day! It will be a little crazy as I am co-chairing a style show for a fundraiser tonight. Last minute details and stresses but nothing is going to get me down! Cause I got this....


I love the "focus"on the back.


My youngest daughter, Danika made these, she is starting her own business (man, she is just like me in every way! I love it!). She is making jewerly. She, Grandma Vicky, Great Grandma Vanie and I sat down on Easter Sunday and discussed Danika's marketing plan for this new endeavor. She has it all down, even down to this lovely packaging she made as well. The girl has skills.



And the last birthday present....
MY WEBSITE IS LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAHOO-HOOO! Thanks to my friend Elaine for alerting me to this. I was up late last night trying to figure stuff out and wondering why is wasn't working. But it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to me!! Thanks Elaine....speaking of Elaine. We just did her maternity portraits I should have them up to share soon! I can't wait to show you what a beautiful woman she is, and even more so with being pregnant.

Just cause I know you are checking!

No April Fool's here...sorry!
I know you are dying to see these N. So here is a sneak peek to wet your whistle.
Little Miss R.

Rock star little sister, K.


There are those beautiful brown eyes.



K with her friend.


My absolute favorite of the day.

I love sisters, maybe cause I didn't have one... not one that was blood born anyway , and maybe cause I have two daughters and see their connection too.
Sisters, cherish each other. I hope you know how good you have it. You always have a "date" to the craft shows, mushy romantic movies that your hubby won't take you to, and someone that has seen you at your worst and laughed at you about it and then was there to hug you and love you regardless. I love all my friends dearly, but the ones without sisters like me, I cherish...I remember a while ago I was looking for that "date" for some event, all my friends said, "I am going with my sister..." I remember saying to my husband..."I gotta get more friends who don't have sisters!" hee.hee. I love you, my sisters!!!
Thanks B family. Can't wait until baby #3 comes in a few months. I know Mom is more anixous than I, for obvious reasons.

just not quite sure about it...

Mom "L" called me. She wanted photos of her little 2 year old daughter, as she turned 2 not too long ago. Needless to say little Miss "E" didn't want her photo taken...maybe that was too harsh... she wasn't crazy about the idea. She did great, but that little happy face was a hard one to come out. I did manage to snap a few...some with a smile...some not. But it is ok, do we adults feeling like smiling all the time too? Nope.

When she had enough, she thought she could just disappear behind a chair. Then we were done.
We just had to include "E's" way too cute big sister "N" and big brother "C".
Thanks guys!
