Happy Birthday Leahbell!

Leah, my niece, is 13 today!  My kids think she is so cool because she is a teenager!  Here is a little about my beautiful Leah:

• Loves everything about music
• Favorite thing to do - sing and draw
• Favorite color - red (mine too!)
• Favorite subject in school - science
• Favorite Aunt - Tracy (ok - so, she didn't actually say that - but I know it's true!)
• Future career - Doctor and/or Singer

I love you, girl - Have a great day!!!!!

Che bella bambina!!!

Mom and Dad are both Full Blooded Italians!  This can be to your advantage when you are trying to birth beautiful children.  These photos are proof that it will work every time!  This family drove all the way from Raleigh, NC for me to take their daughter's photos.  Ok - so maybe they have family living here that they happen to be visiting.  But the mom did say that she didn't want any of those stinking photographers in Raleigh taking her baby's photographs.  She wanted the best for her baby - Life Gallery!  You go girl!  You are number one in my book! :) 

Turning 1 Year Old!

I have had so much fun with this family.  They started a photo project when their son was born.  The project was to take at least one photo a day to capture his life in the first year.  I am honored to say that I was the subject of one of those photos!  At one of our sessions they asked to take a photo of me!  And, oh, how they love that boy of theirs!  I just love parents that can't get enough of their kids.  Thanks, Jon & Julie, for letting me be a part of the first year!  

You take my breath away too, Sweetie!!!!

Give a child a mirror and watch them come alive!  

Does vanity really start that early? :)

Happy Birthday to My Middle Child!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!!!!

This is my second of 3 children and today is her birthday.  She is 7 years old.  Some sweet facts about our Grace:

• We call her Graceful because she is the most clumsy child we know.  
• She looks more like me than any of my other children
  
• She has the heart the size of Texas
• We also call her our leech because when she snuggles you can't get her off of you!
• If she ever draws a picture she always draws her family and it says "I love my family"
• Things she loves (her words) - God, her family, reading and puppies
• When she grows up she wants to become a Teacher

She is definitely our lover of the bunch!  Thank you, God, for giving us such a special blessing!!!!  

NY Giants Win!

Well the Giants win - I wasn't pulling for them - but I didn't lose any money either!  Who lost some big money yesterday?  Come on - Fess up!  You know, now that I think of it, I bet my husband bet on that game and didn't tell me.  He doesn't tell me either way - if he wins or if he doesn't.  If he loses he has to deal with my belly aching and if he wins he has to share the loot!  I can deal with losing thousands of dollars in the stock market better than I can deal with losing $30 to a FB game.   My husband thinks I am psychotic to think this way.

Two Little Beauties!

Don't you want to take this one home with you?

She is just as sweet as she looks, too!

If angelic could be described by a photograph...

We even got big Sis to to agree to a few photos - after a little bribe!

Then we played hide the lollipop!
