Peace…

…and sweetness and light.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your families. I hope your travels were safe and your days filled with joy and the smell of cookies. ( who doesn’t like cookies?)

Thank you for sharing this past year with me. I truly enjoy serving your families and look forward to working with you in the new year!

I wish your families a prosperous new year filled with hope and joy.

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I wanted to share this with everyone.

I realize I am a bit behind in sharing...but I am hoping you all will give me some slack with this being one of my busy seasons and I have had a house full of sick people ;)

I also would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to serve you. I do so love my job!

January sessions are booking! I look forward to another year of watching your children grow. It does a heart good.

Announcing......

I am so excited to offer this to my clients!

The value of this package would add up to well over 700.00 with my current pricing. I plan on servicing Vanderbilt, St. Thomas and Baptist Hospitals. I am really looking forward to that 1am labor call! Seriously.

Birth package 500.00 (non refundable retainer of 250.00 due at time of booking)

Up to 4 hours of time during labor & delivery (two week window around due date with all booked clients during that time notified that I am on call for your birth and that they may have to reschedule)

8 five x seven prints

2 eight x tens

25 folded birth announcements OR slideshow (not suitable for prints) of birth.

Be thankful

Live with gratitude.
Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!

Gorgeous family today...

Some kids are an absolute joy to be around. These would be some of them (great job mom & dad!)

Thank you so much guys for being such great sports with me today while I asked you to do some pretty silly things in this cold weather.

I hope you at least had a smidgen of fun!

the ties that bind...

What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories. ~George Eliot

Thank you so much to this sweet family for sharing your afternoon with me - it was my pleasure!

...what little girls are made of...

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

The above quote pretty much sums up these sweet sisters in my mind they are just so sweet and love each other so very much. When I asked A what her favorite thing in the whole world was she said “my family” and B she just giggled that sweet giggle at that.

Thanks for all the fun yesterday!

With a little help from my friends

Oh my goodness I here I go again.

Bee Bee Mod’s month of giving!

More goodness…which translates into more giving…because well, it feels good.

I made a friend several months ago on flickr – a real sweetheart named Jen. Who happens to be the writer of a blog called “pass it on” as in "pass it on to others". She is one of the most talented, giving people I have had the pleasure of never meeting! :)

So in the spirit of her blog I am posting about her blog on my blog so maybe more people can be helped and more people can have a happier heart.

(yes I really am that sappy!)

This month, she will donate 50% of all her sales – she has two shops with adorable items they can be found

sisterhood

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.
-- Isadora James

I love shooting sisters. Maybe because I have three of my own, or maybe because you can capture moments remembered from your own childhood with a different cast of characters.

Thank you Cheryl for letting me capture this moment.
