Happy Birthday to me...

I'll be saying that too in a couple of days. Only I'm no where near the 1 year old mark, or even the 30. (Sigh.) But let's not talk about that.

As Thanksgiving approaches right along with my 40th birthday (AHHHHH!) I've gathered up my thoughts on all that I am grateful for. Top of my list is my wonderful dysfunctional blended, sometimes shaken and stirred family. My adoring husband always keeps me grounded, through our life journey together, between working, running a business, raising a family with steps, ex's and drama a flowing, at the end of the day we always manage to find each other and still be totally in love. Thank you God for my Husband, my rock! (Not the one I fell off of.)

I am so grateful for all six of my beautiful, amazing, healthy children. Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart and the joy in my heart! I love you all every minute of everyday.

I'm grateful that I have a career and business that I truly love. I'm grateful for my wonderful clients. Thank you for sharing your families with me and for giving me the opportunity to capture sweet moments that you will cherish a lifetime. My craft is close to my heart because it is truly about relationships for me. I want to capture the connection, the bond, the intimacy and the love.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Thanks for being loyal readers! I'm truly grateful.

Got me a fever...

Baby Fever, that is! (Just kidding, Honey!) But I've had a string of babies and it's been so wonderful. I mean, just look at her! Ah!!!! Sweetness!

Marry me...

Makes falling off the cliff all worth while... And can I just say NIKON makes a sturdy camera!

Puppy Love...

Our Doggie Day Spa sessions were a huge success! I enjoyed every minute. (Katie Bug tagged along on the Sunday shoot and had a blast helping out with the puppies.) If you missed it, don't worry! We are already making a plan for January. We will offer another two days of sessions and Valentine's Day Cards!

Believe... Dream...

Just a peek for my friends at The Red Barn!

You wouldn't believe it if I told you...

It's been a rough couple of weeks. You wouldn't believe it. But I'll tell you anyway. I'm feeling really behind. So if you are waiting on a sneak preview or an order please be patient! It's been nuts around here. Over the weekend I shot some amazing family pictures which included an engagement proposal. (I hope to post some from that later this week!) While shooting, bent down on a rock hanging from a hillside, the rock gave way with me on it. Picture this. Me falling, camera flying. What a sight. I riped a hole in the butt of my jeans! (So embarrassing! Had no idea until I got home.) Anyway, I escaped with out much injury. Wish I could say the same for my camera.

Next day, I'm walking through my front yard and get tackled by my 80 or so pound doberman puppy. (Harley is a year now and huge!) I twist my ankle and fall to the ground on my knee. Madie has to run get my husband because the pain was so bad I couldn't even get up.

Yesterday after squeezing in two appointments in order to beat the rain I had a million errands to run. Pictures to deliver but my car would not start! (AHHHH! I give up!)

Right now, I'm sick with a horrible cold. I'm blogging from bed and hope to be back in business by tomorrow. That would be a miracle since between the cold, the sprained ankle and bruised up knee I'm pretty much toast right now. But that's my goal. Tomorrow.

Holiday Rush!!!!

As the holidays approach life will get busier and busier so don't wait until the last minutue! You don't want to miss out on moments like these!!!!

Because not all ANGELS are white & fluffy...

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! Ours was great, lots of friends and lots of candy! I just loved the way the sun pours into this shot of the girls. And yes, they all just have this much attitude naturally!
