I'm planning a wedding.  Life is crazy right now!!! 

This is my new friend Josh.  He could care less about wedding plans and that is why he's next on my blog.  I had a great time with his senior photo session and for a minute he helped me to forget the wedding planning stress.  Notice how easy his everyday smile is. Such a natural smiler and hansome young man. 

Talk about a beautiful child...This is one of my favorite first birthday shots ever. She was just so happy on this day and every thing she did could have been photographed for a magazine layout.  Some sessions are just that easy...but most are not. Little children are so unpredictable.  We watch them do cute things all day and just when we grab our camera they become shy.  I always tell parents before a photo shoot that we will ALL work hard - and it will take all of us - but it will be worth it in the end.  Little ones are my favorite.  Little hands, little feet, little smiles, little chubby cheeks...

 

So here's my first blog entry...  I like to tell people (anyone who will listen, really) about my favorite pictures taken over the years.  I like this one because it describes how I feel on most days:  a little embarrased, a little giggly and very happy to be surrounded the beauty in the world.  It just seemed like a good place for me to start the blog.  This is Taylor and she is "something else". (Notice her fingernail paint peeling off.)  It's nice to see that other girls besides me are sometimes too busy playing to stop and get their nails done.  Taylor didn't have a lot of notice for this picture...  Her mother scooped her up and met me at the flower patch just before the sun set.  I think she did great!
