Muddy feet & Ballerina toes!

Willow, the VERY busy Angel Muffin is now 18 months young. I love her fingers and toes in this one. I love sundress and barefeet weather. I love how being a Mommy fills my heart with the wonder of life & love.

I'm Back - Yay!!!

I have been having some serious cabin fever lately and craving GREEN like you wouldn't believe! A sojourn to the Botanical Gardens with the ever gorgeous Willow and Aria & my beloved camera, was just what my spirit needed! Simply breathing the warm, humid air inside felt like heaven. We took off the girls shoes (which is their version of heaven, actually, being naked as jaybirds is their version of heaven but, well, you know...) They had so much fun exploring and SPLASHING IN PUDDLES! (I will never outgrow splashing in puddles and building forts!) I can't wait to let them loose in the children's garden outside this summer...

Shannon & Jason

I have been looking forward to photographing Shannon & Jason's wedding all year, (because they are one of the coolest couples I've ever had the pleasure of meeting!) and the whole day was every bit as magical as I anticipated! It filled my heart to capture their love for each other and the celebration of it that day. Here are just a few of my favorites...

I had the best time photographing this family! Besides Grace and Braden being dreamboats and so fun to work with; Kelly (their gorgeous Mom) loves photographs AS-MUCH-AS-I-DO! We emphasized with each other about how heartbreaking it is to (gulp... this is hard to say...) REPLACE OLDER PORTRAITS WITH NEW ONES (or cherished memories, that's what a photograph really is!) Anyone who has been in my home knows that I am physically and emotionally UNABLE to replace and continue to ADD ON. I'm going to have to make some tough decisions soon though or I will venture outside of the Realm of Good Taste and enter Shrine to Aria territory!

My Word Cloud

This was made with random words from my blog! -I love it! It's like a snapshot of my mind & thoughts! http://wordle.net/.

Autumn is so Gorgeous!

Willow is One whole year old!

I don't know who gave these girls permission to grow up so stinking fast! (They do get prettier by the minute though!)

My (gulp) Baby (gulp) is (gulp) 2 years old! (sigh)
