three reasons I love to photograph kids...

1. the smile with their eyes even when the are crying.
2. I get to watch them grow up, and I am still amazed every time how quickly they all grow up!
3. this little dude is the best, Ryan is curios, busy and those eyes! HOLY MOLY, those eyes!

this is last years session

p.s. we photographed at the same place as last year so they could add to their already existing wall collection.

hi... been a while right?

hello,

I know it has been a while since I posted but man, I am so busy, and when choosing between spending the last few moments of the day blogging or snuggling with my family, I tend to choose them. I know, I know it is "bad for business" but what about being bad for me? Is the time spent on Twitter, Facebook and my amazingly awesome blog (if I do say so myself) more important than the time I spent on my family? ... on myself? Sometimes I feel like I fight the urge to be both a great and all powerful business woman and artist or a stay at home mom tending to my garden, turning our house into a home, a pretty home, and playing dress up with my kids.

I have a ton to share, please bear with me as I get through the piles and the giggles and the weeds. I have a tea party to plan.

In the meantime enjoy this amazing little poem and video. Made me cry a little, smile a little and think a lot.




thanks for letting me share.

peace.

just one little sneak peek of our little office assistant...

So this is Robyn and Shawn's little miss sunshine, they call her Berkeley Lynn and she is perfect! Robyn is a perfectly natural, completely glowing mother and Shawn is the dotting completely smitten daddy I knew he would be.




Miss Berkeley, your parents are the best people I know, and you my little girl deserve the very best.

Uncle Tutt and I will always be here for you.

peace.
