When I woke up this morning, I turned on the tv to find Joel Osteen giving his always positive message. He was talking about joy and laughter and what it does for the soul. Of course we all know laughter is good medicine but it is just so easy to forget that and so necessary to be reminded, right? Listening to this message just brought a smile to my face because I realized how intense I've been lately (I blame the pregnancy hormones, ha). So, let's say it all together now, "Today, I welcome joy and laughter into my life." Now go out there, have a great day, and laugh it up!

On another note... recently, I had the chance to hang out with the awesome Kelly Moore who took me out to shoot in bright sun. It was a little intimidating since I usually like to shoot in lower light, but I guess it's good to step out of your comfort zone from time to time right? I had a great time and here's what I came up with...

Anxiously Awaiting Avery...

02.06.09

That's right! Only 4 weeks to go and I can't wait to see my little girl! I have been so busy nestling into our new home and getting ready for her arrival. I'm so grateful for all the support and excitement from family and friends. Thanks again to all who made it to my baby shower...
it was so wonderful and I didn't want it to end. Thanks a million to Andree and all the awesome women who hosted the shower with her. Much love! Here are some pics from the shower... thank you to those who volunteered to take snapshots. Click here and enjoy!
(spoiler alert: Kris... sorry, you are going to see what your hostess gift is!) Ha-ha.

Oh my goodness...

02.05.09

How cute are these little sweet peas!!! Being around these two definitely made me anxious for my little one to arrive. These are the new baby sister and brother to the puppies Tagg & Sumo I photographed in December. Remember those cuties? I here they are adapting quite nicely. My friend Crissy says that Sumo gets up with her for every feeding.... sigh! Hmmm... how in the world will my doggies adapt when Avery gets here? Especially Pokey, oh boy! Anyway, here are a few from our session. Oh, and how appropriate is this first picture? Brother is flexing his muscles and sister is talking on her cell... ha-ha!

My cool b-day gift...

12.19.08

So although I wasn't thrilled to be turning 35 this week, I was so surprised and excited to receive this awesome watercolor painting of Pokey! My sweet brother had a local artist copy it from a photograph... and yes, my dog really does pose for the camera like that! I just laugh every time I look at this because his expression totally matches the attitude of the t-shirt. Either that or he's thinking, "c'mon lady, not another picture!" Thanks Brother for my awesome birthday gift!

She's back!

12.18.08

I finally had some time to take some pics of "Bedelia". Here she is having some fun in the backyard at our new house...

And I couldn't resist showing these... I just love, love, love dogs! (As most of you know). Anyway, these cuties, Tagg & Sumo, belong to my good friends who are expecting twins very soon. In a recent session, their mama had me photograph them in the nursery so we could get a photo for their Christmas card. It read, "All we want for Christmas is our twin babies". How precious is that? Hmmm, how will Tagg & Sumo like their new baby brother and sister?
Stay tuned...
