Summer Relaxin'

Wanted to share this shot of my little sweetie, 

relaxin' away on Grandma's hammock.

It just makes me smile!  

Happy Summer!

You've had a Birthday, Shout Hooray!

Happy Happy Birthday to my amazing little sweetie!  

5 years ago today, my world was changed when you came into it.  

You have been a source of amazing joy and you have helped me stretch my wings as a mother and you have taught me a lot...  

(where did you get so stubborn, anyway?)  

I feel so lucky to be your mom!  

Happy Happy Birthday to the most beautiful 5 year old who ever lived.  

Love, MOM       

GQ.

So, I had a client call me and say "My business partners and I want some GQ shots for our website."  

OK, great!  This should be fun I thought, though every GQ magazine cover I have ever seen, has had a hot and steamy super model on the front...  

Anyway, I took some great GQ shots of my awesome Dad last year for his website, so I knew we could get some great ones.  

Here are a few of my favorites... 

Can't wait to see the website you guys!  It was fun!

For Fun.

Took this shot yesterday of my beautiful geraniums.  

I am basking in the warmth and beauty of summertime!  

The colors right now, are so amazing everywhere you look!  

Happy Summer and Happy Shooting!

A Summer Angel.

Shylah and Steve.

Some of my favorite shots from Shylah and Steve's engagment shoot on Saturday!  Congratulations on your engagement!  

I'm so excited for you guys!  

Special Moments...

A very beautiful, special day for a very beautiful, special girl.  Some days, don't you just marvel at all the amazing things God has blessed you with?  

I do.  A. LOT.  

Baseball.

Can you think of any better way to spend your summer nights, than watching your little darlings play little league?  I can't...

2 Cute Sisters!

My photo shoot with 2 darling, busy little girls!  

Watch soon for session #2 with these little cuties.

More Photoshop Fun!

Do you ever feel like there just isn't enough time in the day?  I have so many things pulling at my time and attention.  My four little sweeties come first, and then I have to prioritize, because my time is so precious.  I have loved learning more and more about Photoshop in my design class.  I haven't been able to put as much time in as I have wanted, but I got my computer totally cleaned off and organized yesterday.  Yippee!  So, now I am ready to dive into my designs!  This is one I just finished.  

What a fun way to display your photographs!!   

Hawaii.

Wishing so bad, that I was doing this again right now...

I miss Hawaii everyday!

Gabrielle.

Here are some of my favorites from my shoot with Gabrielle.  

There are a lot, but I loved so many of them and just wanted to share!

She is so gorgeous!  Man, she is growing up!  Hope you enjoy.

(a little side note:  Gabi is going to be baptized on Saturday!  

Her beautiful white dress was made by  her very talented Grandma.

Thanks Mom!)

Precious.

Just a little teaser from my photo shoot with Gabrielle.  

I will get more pics from this session up soon!
