Memorial Day Weekend

So then how many things can one possibly fit into a weekend?...........a visit w/little Lilly of course, meeting with a potential wedding client, Birthday Party for Jen Leatherwood (little crazy but fun!), baby photo session, 6+ hour photography seminar, cookout-bonfire-fireworks-SMORES,(thanks Jillian & Mick for a great time!) Although all us moms of 5-7 year olds could have probably written a book on how to give yourself a heart attack; let your children run around chaotically w/sparklers in their hands, then watch as they are NOT paying attention and are swinging the 2ft stick they've just had in the bonfire very closely to the other 5 year old doing the same thing!!!! It was fun though....and of course the kids had a blast. Let's see what else.....marshmallows stuck on everyone's shoes :-))meeting my new baby cousin Matthew, and one of our favorite past times; skipping rocks at the beach with the boys....I won't bore you w/the household chores that I somehow fit in there....crazy, I need a few days off due to the weekend! Have a great week..

This Memorial Day weekend was quite a busy one for sure, I was lucky enough to photograph so many cute little people! I met Nichole and Charlie Sunday morning, who entrusted me to photograph their first little guy Chase, he was born 8 weeks ago on April 1st. Chase was wide awake and in a great mood, and it was really easy to get carried away with pictures as they were such a beautiful family. It wasn't until I put this slideshow together did I notice the many little faces Chase made...so cute, he has quite a personality already! Thank you Nichole & Charlie.....

My little sister Kathy (she'll ALWAYS be my LITTLE sister) gave birth to her first child almost 3 weeks ago. It's so wonderful to share this experience with her and have a baby around again especially now that the boys are older. The BONUS for me is that she was a girl. Girl clothes are so much more fun to buy! Here is Lilly at 2 weeks:

Blessed

....this is for all the people that have heard me complain about my lack of sleep! my son Tyler who is now 5 ONLY started sleeping thru the night last year, BUT he still wonders into our bed a few nights a week....he just likes to cuddle and STILL plays with my hands as he sleeps (I used to love touching his hands when he was an infant, and it became a nigh time comfort for him). I do complain as I'm a light sleeper and he's a mover, but this past weekend I woke up to that porcelain little face of his and those long eyelashes, and the light was hitting him just right, it reminded me of how blessed I really am, so I HAD to get my camera.....

Thanks Jen!

So here's a big shout out to Jenn Leatherwood of Leatherwood Photography (www.leatherwoodphotography.com)

I happened to find her ad for a 2nd shooter on Craigslist for her upcoming wedding season. I checked out her work, and she's so awesome I hounded her for a few weeks
:-) So thanks Jen, I'm really excited about working with you !

My first slideshow on my BLOG!!
Please be patient as the slideshow loads. Apparently, I checked off something I shouldn't have while creating it and it takes a bit to load, but considering it took me like 5 hours to finally figure this out, I'M NOT CHANGING THIS ONE!! I think it's worth the wait.

About Brittany: My sweet and adventurous cousin who's making me feel really old as I can't believe she's graduating this year. She's off to be a Veterinarian. Thanks for the fun photo shoot Britt!

Welcome!

Hey everyone!

So this is all completely new to me, I'm not a "blogger", although in the last month I find myself checking a few different blog sites daily for updates.

I thought this would be a great way to share all my new photos and "happenings" with all my great friends, instead of sending you emails all the time. Now you can CHOOSE to come to my blog or not

Enjoy, and if you have any suggestions or comments feel free!!
