Hello There!!
I just wanted to write a quick note to everyone that I will be out of the office from now, until the 22nd of this month. I’m so excited to say that I will be in AUSTRALIA attending Sheye Rosemeyer’s Self Focused workshop. It’s not only going to be great to learn with all of the amazing ladies there, but this will also be my first trip to the land down under!
It’s going to be beautiful and I cannot hardly wait!! Eeeep!!

AND.. because a post is not the same without an image, AND because I am super short on time– here is an image of a lovely Mom and daughter.
*More from this session, and some other gorgeous sessions (including a wedding) to come upon my arrival back home.

This is Ann and her gorgeous daughter Sofia. At first glance, most would think this is just a beautiful session of the beautiful bond between a Mother and her child, but it’s way more. You see, Ann is lucky to be with us. During most of my sessions, I ask my clients questions about themselves to get to know them better. For Ann and I, the day we met for our session was the very first time we had met. As I asked Anne what she envisioned for her images, she explained to me that she just wanted to capture life. Pure and simple life. Ann explained that she had previously suffered an aneurism and was extremely lucky to be alive. As she told me the story of how it was caught and how her life was saved, I was reminded that life is precious. Not everyday is promised, and that every moment should be lived to its fullest.
I know that sometimes in my daily realm of normal I forget the things that matter most. Even with the best intentions, I am human and time is always something I run out of. I run out of time to blog, to clean, to email, to do everything. For that reason, I felt compelled to write this post. I’m going to make sure I don’t take my time or my loved ones time for granted, and I want to urge you all to do the same. Take a good look at your loved ones, give them a hug, tell them you love them. MAKE time to appreciate the little moments in the big picture. It’s worth it.
Ann,
In just the few hours we spent together, it was evident that you are truly remarkable in every way. I’m so glad we met. Next time is wine time. ;)

Sometimes when I post new images on my blog, finding the words to describe them seems impossible. This is one of those sessions. These lovely girls are Madelyn and Ashlyn. Maddy is eight, but has an old soul. Ashlyn is soon to be six, and is my son’s best friend/future wife. (Sorry Matt, but it’s true.) We took these images on a grassy knoll near a pond. The girls took turns in front of the camera, when Maddy wasn’t in front of the camera she played and made leaf bracelets. Madelyn said she wanted to start selling them and I honestly think she could. I brought my son, Caleb, along to help get the girls comfortable in the camera. On some of my favorite images of Ashlyn, Caleb was actually behind me making silly faces at her. These make me happy and put a song in my head.
