Falling into Adulthood

I love these photos. I love the maturity they show.  Of Ali’s journey through her senior year. And, of my journey as a photographer.  Enjoy.

I’ll Love you Forever

I’ll hold you for always.

As long as I’m living,

My Baby- you’ll be.

 

This book was given to me when I was pregnant with the twins. When I photographed this little charmer, I couldn’t help but think of these sweet words the entire time.

The Lorax

I love the book the Lorax, but I love people who take the meaning of that book to heart instead of holding it on a shelf. My friend not only decorated her son’s nursery with the Lorax theme, but she is also using cloth diapers. She talks about things in terms of how long they take to compost and she is amazing when it comes to saving our Earth. Here is her beautiful baby boy… living her legacy.

Shananigans

I have this friend. I’ve known her since 7th grade.  She is amazing.  A few years ago, she worked for a photography studio. She began crafting with sock monkeys and learned a beautiful craft.  She now makes the most amazing hats and photo props.  Want to see?  Look at some of Shananigan’s Custom Made Hats etc

Apple Of My Eye…

I Love these photos.  They were a pleasure to take and you could tell that their little boy was the apple of their eye. You can see the love – from the parents and their child.

Dr. Dr. … Dr. Seuss

“We looked!
Then we saw him
step in on the mat!
We looked!
And we saw him!
The Cat in the Hat!”

“I know it is wet
And the sun is not sunny.
But we can have
Lots of good fun
that is funny!”

“Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have
to know how.”

“’Have no fear, little fish,’
Said the Cat in the Hat.
‘These Things are
good Things.’
And he gave them a pat.”

“Then our mother came in
And she said to us two,
‘Did you have any fun?
Tell me. What did
you do?”

And Sally and I did not
know what to say.
Should we tell her
The things that went on
there that day?”

“Well…what would YOU do
If your mother asked you?”

Dr. Seuss.

Happy Birthday!

I love doing birthday shoots! First birthdays are the best.  The ability to once in your life be encouraged to smash a cake is just too cute to resist.  Here is baby Annika – loving her birthday.
