Let's go outside!

As, some of you may know, I am planning on opening a studio in my home this year. I had planned on a grand opening in May or June, however, we have now decided to postpone this opening until October. So let's go outside and get some great family portraits! Spring is coming soon! So the weather should be nice and warm. Call or email me to book an appointment. A family session will last one hour and for one location of your choice will be $60. This also includes a CD with 15 to 30 high resolution pictures.

I can't wait to help you capture moments of those who are most important in your life.

The magical fun of boxes

I find it very interesting how a simple box can bring a child such pleasure. They can climb in it, make a house out of it, play hide and seek in it, color it, and simply use it as a place to rest. I love these pictures of my girls watching TV in this little box, they were able to sit content for quite a long time all scrunched together.

Counting my blessings

It is amazing how other's lives can really put our own life into perspective. A friend from high school, who I have only stayed in touch with on facebook, just lost her 5 year old little boy to a rare muscle disease. Their daughter also has the disease, and so I am sure they will lose her too early as well. I am overwhelmed with how hard this must be for her and her family. It makes me take a look at what God has given me and how I need to be more grateful for every day I have with my husband and children. There are many days where I feel overwhelmed with "mother or wife duties". There are not enough days where I enjoy those duties. I know that my friend would give anything to get more "mother duties" with her son. I pray that I will be a better wife, better mother, and better friend and not take for granted all that God has blessed me with in my life. I know that this life is a life of learning and trials. I know that we are all God's children and that He blesses us every day. I hope I can be more grateful for what I have and not complain so much about what I don't. I pray that I can be more of a helping hand to those in need and be the kind of wife and mother my family deserves.
