Mexico

January was such a crazy month, and I was gone for most of it, and for one week it seemed like I did a lot of firsts! I went on my first cruise, I went to Mexico, I saw whales, and I went snorkeling! It was awesome, and it was even more awesome to be with Adam for a week. I love you babe! Thanks for being my everything!

Having Courage

My cute little nephew was recently diagnosed with LCH. (Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis) Little A is just a couple of months older than my baby, and really completes our entire family. At Christmas he received this little car that he could drive, and I will never forget his smile as he pushed the button and sped off in a straight line!

These pictures were taken a few days before he went through his first chemo treaments, so his mom really wanted to capture that cute bright red hair before he loses it. With his determination and sweet disposition, I know if anyone can beat this, he can.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love Valentine's day, and all that comes with it. I really love doing personalized valentine's for my kids, and being in their classes, and as much as it is a holiday for love, I think it is a great way for children to "party" in school. Valentine's was always my favorite holiday to celebrate in school, from making boxes (one year we made a giant watch, and a soda pop machine) to selling and delivering carnations for Senate in High School.
It was a great success, and I can't wait to try something new for next year!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

Vomit!

Now that I have your attention... When I started working in the photography business I was an assistant for English Photography, and one of my jobs was to make the little ones laugh, or hold their attention is some way. I did embarrassing things like pretending to be a clown, or dance around like a monkey, or pretend to be tickled by surprised. All of these methods worked great, and as many of you know I use them over and over again.
At the beginning of this particular session I asked the parents what one of their child's favorite things are and they told me Vomit noises. I have now hit a new embarrassing low as all of the beautiful smiles on those children came from me making Vomit noises! P family, you were all fantastic, and it shows in the picture. Thank you AM, for coordinating colors into to such a beautiful background. It was a lovely evening, and thank you for having me be apart of your family memories.
