Chasing Butterflies….

I met up with “L” and “S” in the park last week and each had their minds set on a couple of things.  “S” was digging his dump trucks, the ducks and he found a patch of mushrooms he couldn’t resist…but “L” was dead set on catching a…butterfly.  She waited patiently in flower patches…grabbed at […]

Cartwheels in the Park…

Life is good – and we should all climb a tree, spin a cartwheel and get to laughing.  I love seeing these cute people again. (Actually, the last time I spent time with them – was just with Mama and Daddy….and we were laughing.  Hard…at a freak show.) The girls are getting so big….and I […]

Ahhhhh….sweetness.

Mr. “C” here is about 8 days old and so laid back and yummy.  One part of me would love that sweet age in my household right now….and the other part that just sent the teen out the door to drive himself to school says, “Uh uh, no way.”  I so enjoyed our morning together […]

Blast from the Past….

This sweet girl did my hair years and years and years ago.  I remember our talks about engagement, marriage and the hopes of children….while my oldest napped in a chair beside us as a 2-year old.  Life got in the way of life – diapers overruled hair in the budget and time moved on….we just […]

Surfing through life…together.

These two are meant to be…and it shows in so many ways.  To start, they were both baptized…years ago as babies…by the same man who married them.  I find that so incredibly special and part of their cycle of life that was meant to be together.  Both had prepared letters for one another – he, […]

Sneaky Fox….

It was nice to shake it up and spend an afternoon in an unfamiliar environment…a barn.  I know nothing about horses and all that comes with them…except that I think ladies in their riding gear look fantastically sharp.  “L”, I enjoyed my afternoon with you and Miss Sneaky Fox….I think your Mama is right…you two are […]

Early morning beach….

Wow…..the beach was PERFECT early this morning.  Two sweet girls….happy as can be….and calm, cool weather at low tide.  “E”, thanks for giving me a welcoming hug and a goodbye kiss….and “H”, could you be any happier?  Oh to take something away from this shoot….live a little more like “H”…everyday.  Enjoyed it!

Love these Crazies…

I think I called these girls “Crazy Daisies” one time….and they are.  In a GREAT way.  Mama is super laid back….which translates down to all three of the children.  “K” was super quick to shimmy up an old oak tree….and a BIG one.  No biggy….and Mama said, “You might want to start figuring out how […]
