Reasons to be Thankful

With Thanksgiving less than a week away, there are plenty reasons for me to be thankful. For one, I'm thankful for my job. Being a photographer allows me to be home with my number one reason of why I am thankful: I am thankful for my boys!!!! They make me a better person. They encourage me to do better. They give me reason to smile. They make my life complete.

Bad Blogger

I'm a bad blogger. So sorry. This time of year, I'm been a tad busy. Add on top of that school activities for my boys, and a stomach bug for me, equals lack of blogging. But stay tuned, I have some adorable pictures coming. They will be sure to make you smile.

If you have not yet scheduled your 'Christmas session' with me, PLEASE contact me ASAP.

What's Missing?

Aside from newborn baby pictures, my next favorite are 'missing teeth' pictures. My second son finally lost both teeth and I couldn't get my camera on him fast enough.

p.s. It's about time to be thinking of Christmas photo sessions. If you haven't booked your session yet, please contact me as soon as possible.

A Family Celebration

These families gathered from around Florida to celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary. They gathered at M's house in the family room and posed on the family couch. There are four families, yet this couch unites them as one big family.

And keeping in the family tradition, here is little Mr. R. Who is starting his own family tradition with his 'big red chair'. I wonder how many wonderful memories he and his mama will have of their own.

The couch - a place we share smiles, exchange hugs, sometimes disagree, but always come together as a family.

Three Months

It's hard to believe, but little Miss Addison is three months old already. Her mama didn't think the session went that great, but I think I got some cute shots of little Miss Chunky.

her first pair of shoes:

she is already holding her head up

I love her expression on this one.

I'm a Tad Behind in Blogging

I'm a little behind in blogging, but I couldn't not post these. 'Grandpa' traveled a long way to meet his first grandchild. I love, love, love, the picture of him reading to her. It doesn't get much better than that.

First Day of School

It was an exciting morning in our house this morning. Why? because it is the first day of school for all three of my boys. Not only is it the first day of school it is the first day for THE school. It just opened. It's also a first with uniforms for us.

Here's my baby, Jorden. He started Pre-K today. He was so excited to go to school until he found out I couldn't go with him. Then he got a little sad. I hope he already has a little friend.

This is what second grade looks like! Apparently you have to pretend to be a super hero to pose for your photographer mom!

And lasty, this is what fifth grade looks like. Again, striking a pose.

All three of my little boys. They are growing up SO fast. Luckily for me,

I take lots and lots of pictures.
