And the winner is.....

Those that entered, thank you. It was a hard descision, but if you read this sweet sweet poem that this mamma wrote for her two kids, you would see it was well deserved.

Congrats Katie!

"Big Brother"
Just as you look at her hands in awe,
I look in awe at both of you!
How blessed I am to be your mom,
You fill me with a love I never knew.

This picture is worth a thousand words,
And each fills my heart with joy!
How proud I am to be your mom,
My sweet little girl and boy!


And a few from a recent photo shoot.

Big News

I do have one of the best jobs on the planet.

I never have to worry about walking to the front office without someone to hold my hand.

One love letter a day finds its way onto my desk.
One from last weeek read:

"I like you as much as you like me.
When we meet each other again, we always
will be best
friends.
Love,
Karen"

Creativity and inspiration are my goal from 8:30-3:00.

But I am now saying good-bye for a while, and taking another great job of being a photographer.

So next year, I am dreaming of spending a bit more time with CJ, at the same time doing something I am sooo passionate about!

And the best part is, I still get to hang out with kids all day!

Saturday at Arianne's

Thanks Arianne for such a great event on Saturday! Good people, good food (aka goldfish) and great kids. So for all of you who are looking for a sneak peek to hold you over until the images are done.... here you go.

And to make it a little fun, let's have a contest.
I usually do polldaddy.com. It has come to my attention that this poll system is a bit flawed, and that it is not so hard to cheat, if you are computer saavy. So for this contest, I will be picking a comment. So post a comment about your favorite image. The image with the winning comment will win an 8x10 of that image.

People always ask me....

who is that crazy little girl on your website in boots? and head in a red bucket? Yes, that is my niece Avery. Avery's posse came down with their mamma, my sweet and beautiful sister. We had a fun mini session so they could rush go play with CJ.

Brother Rainn. Lots of kissing torture going on with these two gals.

How do I pick just a few...

The best way to describe this family is love, love, love.
Twins with huge brown eyes, and tons of laughs!
By the way, this hot mamma was responsible for the hair cutting fiasco. (hee hee)
Thanks Tracy, I absolutely LOVE my short hair.






Sweet sweet twins

When I grow up....

CJ: When I grow up mama, I'm gonna be a soldier.
mama: wow, how brave.
CJ: and then I am going to grow down, and be a boy.
mama: oh, I am so glad.

Miss P, all grown up!

Funny how fast time goes by! I used to teach dance at a private school while in college. One of the fourth graders I taught, had a younger sister who is graduating from High School this June. When I drove up to meet her, I half expected a little girl to be dropped off by her parents, and this amazingly poised girl dirves up herself!
But she was tons of fun, and so together with her plans. I had a lot of fun hanging out with her.
