Warm Fuzzies

Posted on May 31, 2009

I’d say one of the best feelings in the world is feeling appreciated. There is nothing like the warm fuzzy feeling when someone appreciates something you’ve worked hard on. It’s GREAT!!!

Jenny (my friend and client) thanked me by sending me FOOD. Wow…appreciation PLUS food? Is there any better combo??? We’d discussed before how I’m a fan of Hickory Farms summer sausage and cheese and she remembered and sent me THIS! Talk about making me feel so loved and appreciated. I immediately chowed down on the cheese and summer sausage with just as smidge of their incredible sweet hot mustard…YUM! Kate immediately devoured all the strawberry candies.

Thank you Jenny! You totally made my day!

First Post {My Family}

Posted on May 24, 2009

Hello and welcome to my new blogsite! I wanted the benefits of a blog and the benefits of a website so now I have all of that lumped into one. YAY!!! I wanted to highlight something especially special to me as the first official post here at my new blog and decided I wanted to show off my little family. My good friend Susanne of Dream Street Photography captured these for us. I LOVE THEM!!! Susanne did an amazing job capturing the REAL us – Kate running around, David sneaking smooches, us laughing and just being us – beautifully unrehearsed and natural. Thank you Susanne!! I’m forever thankful for these priceless family images of us

It’s hard to pick an ultimate favorite, but I think this just might be it. LOVE how Kate has her eyes shut as she accepts a kiss from Daddy, so sweet! And props to Susanne for this rock star pose. Love how we are separated, but still together…just cool stuff.

Sweet Kate! Love the hands on her hips…adds an extra bit of attitude to the shot don’t you think?

Now I ADORE this one cause it shows the real us…David and I just sitting back watching Kate run, run, run. Also love how it captures Claire in her most loved pass time – hand chewing.

These just make my heart swell with happiness. Love my family. Love the greenery. Sigh…I just love, love, love these images.

 

Cool outfit with totally rad shoes – Check. Ability to ignore the Germans staring at you making out in public – Check.  Totally in love with each other – double check!

And finally this one. Gosh I will cherish this image forever. For starters my sweet hubby is the one who talked us into stopping the car and capturing this, it was towards the end of the shoot and the kiddos really needed to get home, but at the last minute we stopped to take in this amazing backdrop. SOOO glad we listened to him. I loved this picture the second I saw it, but now that he’s left for his deployment I love it even more. I’ve got an amazing man, glad I have some images of not only us with our beautiful family, but also with just the two of us.

Thank you again Susanne!!!
