Alec & Trey

Perry and Adda have been blessed with two terrific boys! We are all old high school friends, and I was given the opportunity to photograph their boys. The style was natural. Boys at play and I love these photos! Alec and Trey are so sweet, and they even hugged me when I left. I love that. Makes me feel good all over and that what I do is worth while......Here are my favs....but there are more!

Just a Note.....

I hope everyone is enjoying these snow days! As a kid, I remember the agony of anticipation of watching the news and waiting and waiting till we finally got our dream, A SNOW DAY! Now, I find I am still doing this today as the parent! I love having the kids home and my little Reese Cup loves it too! Reese still makes sure I work while I occasionally grab a game of Uno, or Scrabble or a game on the Wii!

Here is Reese, having "his eye on me"! This picture just makes me laugh......

Book for toddlers......

Here is a book I designed for Lauren. I have designed before, but showing with new pictures...Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Lauren!

Isn't she adorable! She was so fun to photograph and I of course just love, love love these pics!

Two Smiling Faces

January is a time for me to clean up files, business stuff, and just think about new things. Well, as I was doing this, I found this abstract drawing my daughter made. To be cursed with a mother who lets her play in photoshop at random! But she truly has a gift..... Mica calls this "Two Smiling Faces". I am going to make a canvas print of it, I love it!

Saving Money! Get ths FREE book by Susie Orman!

I found this link on Oprah. Susie Orman has a 2009 action plan for your money! I love Susie, she is so honest and even entertaining. I love to hear her advice for millions of people! If you have not heard of her, you should, you will love her!

You can download her book, 2009 Action Plan for FREE at www.oprah.com until January 15th! I had a little trouble downloading but ended up just right clicking on the PDF and clicked "Save File As" and that worked for me. Enjoy!

Three Cousins!

I absolutely love these pictures! The kids were so fun to work with and as you can see, we got great smiles and timeless portraits that are fresh and fun!

Two Sisters....And Are Not they Adorable!

I had the privlage to photograph these two sisters. As you can see, one has been with us for just a short time and big sister is really really sporting her stuff and showing sis the ropes!







I absolutely love the sweetness about this one....



Little sis in her Christmas attire. I love the way her eyes just sparkle with the dress and red bow.

Christmas

My favorite picture of the day.....Christmas Eve, and I did what I wanted....To see Christmas through my children's eyes.... Yes I have this photo, and one of Ean, but the rest, I put the camera down, and I enjoyed, embraced, and savored every moment. And I am thankful of that.



Ean, my toughest subject, but he is so honest in this picture.....



The Tree....



The Night Light between Mica and Ean's Bed.....

Reese, hiding under Mica's bed in which he loves to chew on her bed skirt!

Another Proud Moment for me, Milestones for Mica. She got her yellow belt the other day. Guess Mom with camera and photo op in hand = MUST BLOG about the things we love......

Maternity Pic!

I don't normally show off maternity pictures that I have taken for privacy reasons, but this expecting Mom said she would not mind. I have about 40 striking pictures of her, the Dad and the Babe to be, but this one was my ultimate fav! I love how the green brings out her gleaming eyes. My thoughts are with you Mom, as she is expecting to deliver this week.
