Story of Now

This little guy came over today for his portraits. He had so much fun running around and exploring. There is just something about watching children explore that makes me feel so blessed to be there for it! Just look at that smile with those teeth...love it!! He wasn't much for sitting, but we did get this nice family picture just at the right moment! And the beautiful parents that brought this little guy into the world! Live. Love. Laugh. Embrace.

They hang on together, they hang on for the other. Their love grows stronger with each day and each challenge. Their love is still youthful, though their bodies tell a different story. They've built their lives on simplicity and generosity. No matter their age, their caring ways remain. Live. Love. Laugh. Embrace.

Beth and Mike are expecting their first baby and their excitement shows!! Ahhh....sweet anticipation We had to get some pictures with their furbabies, Lola and Louie You two are going to be AMAZING parents! Thank you so much for inviting me to take your pictures! Live. Love. Laugh. Embrace.

Sometimes you can capture a moment and relive it over and over. You capture not only the people, but the atmosphere. The picture helps you to recall the smell of the air and the sound of laughter. It freezes time.....forever. This picture does it for me! On Sunday, we celebrated Matt's Birthday by inviting both of our families over. It was a picture perfect day....sunny, high 60's, we played, we laughed, we ate. I am so blessed, first of all because I was born into a wonderful, loving family and second because I married into one! Live. Love. Laugh. Embrace.
