thank you for being patient wonderful clients

I am behind on blogging like usual, so if you are still waiting to see your sneek peek up it is coming. In december I preferred to edit rather than blog when the choice was there. Its been super busy around here and balancing family and work is always a challenge during the fall. Thank you for being patient. thanks Amanda Stephan Photography for taking my family pictures this year!

I dont do personal posts anymore because my time is so limited. I have always known I can see beauty and create but never have been good with words. Posting paragraphs and short stories of my life or my sessions would not work well but I am always able to talk about my sweet kids. I dont know how I was blessed with such good, happy, kind and funny children. I adore them. :-) Still sad summer is over. :-(

When we saw Lily our hearts broke. We knew we could not leave her where she was. She was destined to be with us. With a hair cut, medication and some good old love she is doing great and is so well behaved. Potty trained and all. We signed up for training classes but I dont think she needs them. : - ) She is spoiled rotten.

10 years ago........

I remember the first time I saw you. My heart skipped a beat. Tomorrow we celebrate 10 years of marriage, growth, and many blessings that we have enjoyed. I am the lucky one. I wish I had more photos from our wedding day. Its hard to think 10 years ago digital cameras were not even a thing. Film was the way, and with that photoshop was not much of anything. The disposable cameras were what most had. Times are always changing. :)

I am so bad about doing pictures of my own family which is silly I know, so this year I decided to take it more serious and "plan outfits, dogs, location" ect.. My dear friend Melissa Jackson Photography took our family's pictures and in 20 minutes my husband was already in the car - we were done. ( Cruz did not smile in any - HA ) Then I took her family's and all the planning was over - KABOOM. So glad its over, I relate to most the men out there and cant stand getting my picture taken, HA. : -) Merry Christmas from us!

I have been back and forth on posting this special picture all week. The loss of a child is sacred and personal. I understand this as 6 years ago to this very day we lost our baby boy. There are many sessions that I do not post but I wanted to share this as hard as it is. I was so touched by this mother and father. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

love cannot be measured by increments of time. A lifetime of love can be squeezed into a few brief miraculous moments
when necessary.

Random images I wanted to share. HA

This lil froggie is one of hundred's at our house right now. Kinda creepy. : - )



I have been called lizard lady for most my life. : - )



I was out one morning and saw this odd house not even a mile from mine. This is the fun stuff you get to see when you live on the border of the county in AZ. : - )



I added this one because I love boxers. I think they are an example to us humans. Have you ever met an unhappy boxer?

Dear Layla, Noah and Cruz

Layla,

I am amazed at the tender heart you have. You see beauty all around you.
You are a joy to be around and you make me laugh so hard. You are my sunshine.




Noah,

I cant believe it has been 5 1/2 years since I held you. I know you are watching
over our family and I am grateful for your strong spirit. I miss your tiny feet.
Layla loves to watch you on home videos.





Cruz,

You make me smile all the day long. You always have a twinkle in your big brown eyes. You are my snuggle bug.
I hope my small efforts into the little things in your life bring you learning and happiness.

I am just so happy! This has been the best week.

I feel so very blessed for all I have been given. I have had the most amazing week and here are some of my happy moments.

I turned 30 and my dear friends
took me out friday and spoiled me. Hottie gift card- we have some funny memories in this store, flowers, jewelry, lotions and potions. I had the best cake in the world from California Pizza Kitchen - The Butter Cake. It is so
amazing that I had to hide in my closet today to eat the last bite so I did not have to share. Thats so bad of me. Heehhee.

I walked out to our back courtyard and there were 3 sweet lil
rose bushes planted for me.

My husband took me out Saturday and we had such a good time. I felt like I was 20 again dating him all over again. We laughed so hard at nothing at all and I still am not sure what was so funny. : - )

My 7 year old made me a card.

My son in Heaven sent me peace.

My 6 month old smiled and giggled.

I love what I do and I do what I love!
