My Offspring

I decided that if my photography career ever goes bad I can make big bucks in baby breeding! These photos speak for themselves!

Griffin

9 months old & outside

It is always fun to do baby photos outside. It is a little more challenging, but fun! Babies are still in awe of the world around them. When do we lose that? The world is such a beautiful place and we constantly take it for granted. But little ones see it with new eyes. It is delightful just to watch them!

Hoppy Belated Easter!

Hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Easter! Our Easter special went great - be on the look out for the next one - Mother's Day!

My Major League-er

We are well into baseball season and my son never ceases to amaze me. He is such an athletic little boy. Griffin is only 8 years old and already we are out 5 to 6 times a week for baseball! We are doing something new this year - a traveling baseball team - The Grinders. Let me tell you - traveling ball is a lot more serious than rec ball! Have you ever watched the dads? It is hilarious! We have already been penalized because of our obnoxious dads yelling at the umpires!

Our team was actually coached by a real minor league player! Ray Serrano came and spent a few weeks with our boys - what an awesome opportunity!

A couple of weekends ago, we were in Waycross for an all-day tournament. Griffin usually plays left field, but our catcher was out this day and Griff filled in for him. He was reluctant to try catching because he had not played that position before - but he did great! You get a lot of action on the catcher's mound and that is what my boy likes! We were at the baseball field from 930am to 930pm. Our team won every game until the championship game. Bummer - but we left in good spirits! WAY TO GO Grinders!!!!

Mom & Baby Photos

I just love doing Mom & Baby photos! Babies are unpredictable - you just never know what they are going to do or what expression they are going to give you. These are photos from a recent session of a very sweet client of mine. I know it sounds like I say that about all my clients - but I have been so blessed with wonderful clients!!!!

Oh - and please don't give up on me with this blogging thing - I have hired another full-time person (photos coming soon!) and she is going to help with my crazy work load. So I am going to be blogging several photo sessions at a time to get caught up. Hope you enjoy the variety of photos you are going to get! Drop me a comment to let me know what you think!

Our First Father/Daughter Dance

Grace is in Girl Scouts this year and they hosted a Father/Daughter dance at a local Catholic church. These are some of the sweet photos from that night. Curling her hair took about an hour - she was such a trooper! And that is Irma's hand, by the way (I would get in trouble for not giving her a plug on that one!) Her hair even held up for church the next morning!

She was so excited and totally exhausted herself before they even arrived. I am so enamored with the Father/Daughter relationship!




After church the next morning.

Mi Amigo Loco

This is my "crazy" friend's beautiful daughter. My husband refers to all my friends as "you know, your crazy friend". My husband loves my friends, but don't tell them. They love to make fun of each other. They think he is crazy, he thinks they are crazy - it sounds to me like I am the only one that really has it together!!! Surround yourself with crazy people and you come out looking really good, right?!

Anyway back to the crazy person's daughter. Irma (crazy person) also helps me with weddings and other things in my studio. She is one of a kind!!! These are for you, chica!

Baldheaded Babies with Blue Eyes!

I really don't have to give an introduction to this one. There is nothing sweeter than the feel of a baby's skin and the smell of a baby's breath. Can't you almost smell and feel the sweetness from these photos!?

Lovely Livy!

This is the daughter of one of my husband's colleagues, Emily. Emily's family is full of artists of all kinds and she became a CPA. It is still not clear to me how that happened.

Despite Emily's career choice, she and I hit it off the moment we met. I am blessed to call her my friend. Anyway, with her entire family of talented artists, I kind of had to bump up my game! Here are some of my favorites of her beautiful daughter.

My latest movie luvs

I don't have much time to watch TV so I am always on the lookout for a good movie when I do get the chance to sit down for a couple of hours. Don't you hate it when you get all psyched up for movie night and you have picked the worse movie ever! I always seem to choose terrible, boring, weird movies. I was fired long ago from being the family's movie picker. But once in a while I run across a movie that makes an impact. Here are a few:


Return to Paradise - This movie is an older one - but after I watched it I couldn't stop thinking of it. It is one of those "what would you do?" kind of movies. I like movies that are unpredictable and thought provoking. If you haven't seen it - go rent it and tell me what you think.


A lot like love - this one is one of my favs. It is so unpredictable and they have so much charisma! You have to watch this one!


P.S. I love you - My friend, Irma, and I go out to the movies occasionally. She let me choose the first couple of times and quickly found out about my movie handicap - now I don't have any say so in what we see. Anyway - we saw this one a few weeks ago and I just loved it! Again, it is unpredictable and such a great love story. The photography is wonderful too!

Help me impress my friends and family by giving me some great suggestions on what to rent this weekend!!!!
