the young one…

The young one here… MisterN… the one they make use the oldest camera with the worst lens.. the one that has to “stay back” and out of the way…

I am happy to do it though because I get to shoot andnow they let me take the older ones by myself.  I found this cool palce to shoot and my mom didn’t!

 See what I can get if they give me some room?!

I grabbed this picture while I was trying not to get stepped on by my mom.

Personally, I think I should be paid but mom says it is good practice and I am lucky to be along.  I say we are both right.

Here are a couple of hers…

Cute kid isn’t he? He loves baseball as much as me I think.

mom’s…

mom’s…

thanks for checking out our pictures…hope you liked them as much as we liked taking them, which is a TON!

We love shooting pictures! (mom says especially of MisterC and MissM and I do agree with her.)

You know the rest, but these boys are really sugar and spice.

Short post that I owed you MsL. Sorry for the delay and I hope your summer is going swimmingly! Thanks for letting me shoot for you.

speechless…

I am back at work and left speechless over this young lady…

I will tell you all about her soon, but wanted to put a very small sneak peek up before they head out to UCLA tomorrow!!

Miss M, you leave me speechless and you know that is a very difficult thing to do!

This image of you reminds me of a Hollywood starlet from a more innocent time…

stunning…

You have such an amazing range of “looks” it blows me away.

can’t stop looking at your eyes in this one…

 

Just SWEETNESS and GOODNESS and all that is YOU…

Thank you for allowing me to spend the day with you and capture your senior photos: I had the greatest time!

MUCH more to come…

 BTW… I designed this dress… yes, it’s true… it’s for a new kid’s couture line…

it was toooooo fun!

Be Blessed

unsurpassed goodness…

I wanted more time… I wanted to keep them… I wanted not to feel so selfish…

I am constantly telling my kids that ”I want” is just a mm away from “gimme”… We don’t use it, we don’t say it, we try and remain as far away from it as  possible and to stay grateful and content with what we have…

oh but not Saturday… not me…I was all about the ” I want”

It simply was not enough time for me…

I wanted more… more time with two of the MOST amazing, polite, funny, KIND and smart kiddos one could ever imagine.

I tried to take notes, you know, so I could be “that” mom ~ the kind with perfect kids ~ but MamaT did nothing  but smile.

There was no bribing, no cajoling, no threatening, nada, nothing, zipp-o.

I would whip my head around, looking for the “evil eye” that I give my kids. 

Nope. She just smiled.

I would listen as she spoke, waiting to see if there was a secret language…

or if she used that low-voice staccato don’t.even.think.about.it voice I give my kids.

Nope. She just carried on with sweet conversation and honest enjoyment with both kiddos.

MamaT, missM and misterE, I can honestly say that you are all just perfectly, marvelously, pleasantly wonderful.

We were more than blessed to have spent a wee-bit of time Saturday with you: we are blessed to call you our friends.

Seriously though, I need your book on child-rearing ~ please MamaT write one: you are doing such a spectacular job raising them.

Here is a small peek of your not-of-this-world kiddos…

missM, do you have any inkling special He has made you?  Your stunningly gorgeous “outsides” match your golden heart…

 misterE, you are incredibly handsome and completely adorable both inside and out…

 

ahhhh… missM I can simply just repeat ~

your beauty is only surpassed by your goodness…you are your mother’s daughter

that smile… those eyes…those yummy little teeth…

you are something special misterE and the world is better because of you

much more coming your way…

Be Blessed
