Waiting for Emma...

Every Monday afternoon, Ethan and I get to hang out while Emma has speech therapy... The elementary school she goes to for speech is actually the same school that Daniel went to as a child.

I thought it was kind of cool to have this picture:


He was so still for a moment. Wish I had gotten a close up, but it was so cute watching his little legs hanging over the bench like that.


If only I could write the sound I hear in my head when I see this photo... Like he's practicing his Kung Fu moves. Are you hearing the same sound?


There are actually more photos to go with this post, but I really have to get working on other stuff. Busy, busy, busy... I will share one bit of exciting news about what I'm up to though. Well, exciting to me. I get to go scrapbooking tomorrow night!!! Haven't done that since I was pregnant with Ethan, so about two years now. I have NO IDEA what I'll scrapbook, so I'm hoping I have things ready from the last time I went.

I feel like so much comes and goes through my mind that I want to share here... I think I need to designate a notebook just for jotting those ideas and thoughts down. I hate that I'm missing the little stuff from our daily lives.

Hope you have a great weekend if I'm not back before then. Take care!

Which one?

The one up there or this one?:


Or do I start over? It's okay to say that.

Inquiring minds want to know... I want to know. :) Thanks!

Happy Monday!

Hope to come back later today with words... Can't promise anything profound. We'll see how it goes. It is 3:30 am after all. Couldn't sleep. But must try again. The ringing starts at 6:30...

Okay my friend, you've waited long enough

My friend Carrie has been so patient, waiting for the photos of her sweet little one...

But before I share a few of those, I first have to show you what she looked like one year ago as a newborn:



And here she is as a one year old:








Beautiful, isn't she?

And this last one is for mom because she just had to have the shoes...

I would too. How special are these? and we well know in the blink of an eye she will be grown out of them.

Thank you my friend for letting me capture your beautiful daughter through her first year! I loved every bit of it. I just love watching how these little ones evolve and "grow" personalities too.

Enjoy!

A senior session...

...is quite different from chasing kids with a camera, isn't it?



Okay, she's gorgeous. And let me just tell you that her personality absolutely matches.



Miss "A" is graduating highschool this year and looking forward to being on her own come next fall. She will be moving out of state, and although I think she will deeply miss her friends and family, I think she will shine and make everyone proud.



She really wanted beach photos because the beach represents where she has lived up to this point in her life... In a few short months, she will be living in quite a different climate.



I wish after a session I could just come home and immediately sit down and write a blog entry, even if I don't have any pictures ready to share... I had the best time with this young lady and her parents. After this shoot, my heart was just flowing over with the love and goodness this family shared with me. It truly was a pleasure. It was very relaxing, being at the beach, enjoying the first real summer-like weekend, waiting for the sun to set lower in the sky. We had time to connect and enjoy each other. Once again I left feeling so very fortunate and blessed by my job. Thank you...



Best wishes to you my new friend. May God bless your path always...
