wow. talk about a beautiful family! all eyes were on them as they strolled down the street together.
and really how could you not look at them…just gorgeous.
heather and i served in the same mission. unfortunately for me, not at the same time. i can just tell from the short time i've gotten to know her that she is amazing. kind. genuine. and completely lovable. and as you can see, one hot mama!

is this cute head for rubbing or what?

i love the bliss sign over on the right. love.

i'm not sure if heather knew i was snapping away while she was sitting there in the turquoise chair. in any case, she rocked it!

thanks for letting me spend a fun evening with you!

some cute girls…

and some cute boys…

will always make me smile. happy weekend!

since i've actually picked up my camera. poor little lonely camera. i've missed it but i think it understands why we had to be apart for a while. pregnancy trumps everything. hopefully when i decide to give it some love again, it won't be too unforgiving. maybe some flowers and a box of chocolates will do the trick!

in my longing though, i remembered some lovely stuff that happened right before the "haze" settled in…a shoot with one of the sweetest families ever. if you ever want to know an angel, look no further than this beautiful woman. i immediately felt her goodness the first time i met her. and it hasn't stopped since. i'd say that anyone who doesn't even flinch when one of my children pukes in her car does indeed have wings.

here's a little peek of her cute fam.

i adore this one. loved watching her relationship with her boys. such a great mom!

thanks guys!

itty bitty tiny baby steps. i have to remember it takes baby steps to work my way into this mind-boggling world of photography. it has always been my passion. i adore it. i had an experience around 8 years ago that solidified my love affair with this art. i tucked it in the back of my mind hoping that someday it might become a reality.  and i think it finally is. even though it still scares me to death. i'm working my way. ever so slowly.

thankfully people are willing to take a chance on me. like this gorgeous mom. she called me a while back and asked me to take pictures of her family. i figured if she believed i could do some good things with the camera, well, then i might as well too! but with a family as beautiful as this one, something great was bound to happen!

here are just a few of my faves. 

it's hot. stinking hot.
