What to expect when you're expecting...

More joy than you ever thought possible.




A quick preview from an evening with Meghan and Eric. They should be expecting just about any day now. This is one of my very favorites from the shoot. It looks great in the original color and black and white. But, I just really like it this way.




Meghan, I hope everything is going according to plan for you and Eric. This little boy or girl is going to have the most brilliant
blue eyes. I just know it. Blessings to both of you!

As I edit away...

As I edit away, I have to remind myself to check in here every once in awhile. It may be time for another blog challenge. Wait.
No. Not just yet.

So. Life rolls on. I am fiercely working on editing and such, with a little shooting in between. I have one shoot of a series under my belt and have a couple favorites from that. Here is one I plucked out to share ahead of time, Miss Sofia and her very good buddy Jack. They are the best of friends. It was an honor to spend a little time with both of them.







Happy Monday! Have a great week!

PS Apple, I still love you...today you made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Makes up for all the cursing I've been doing under my breath lately. Thanks for being a really good company. If you are out there and reading this and still using Windows, I just want to know why.

In the blink of an eye...

It's amazing to me how fast time is going these days...I wish I could have a few more hours in each day. There is so much I try to do in one day that I don't have much time left over for a book I want to read, a movie I am wanting to see. Can someone slow down the sand? Please. I am getting up earlier these days as well. It's helping a little bit but now I just need more coffee.


These are Jax's lashes. As I was working through his edit, I noticed them. This picture reminds me of how much we are loved and how God counts every hair and eyelash on your head, how everything about us, perfect and imperfect, was planned for a reason.
Just my random thoughts for a Monday afternoon.




Have a beautiful day.

Meet Jax...

This morning I had the utmost pleasure of meeting the soon-to-be big brother, Jax. His mother Melissa and I have been planning, missing, planning, and more missing dates for what feels like weeks now. But I always know that God has his timing
no matter what mine is, and as it turns out, his is ALWAYS perfect. Go figure. Today probably felt like just about any other day to Jax. I'm not sure how often he goes to the beach in the morning but he seemed to take it right in stride. First off, check out everything, find some awesome driftwood and make it a sword, eat some sand, throw some sand, then carry two fists full of sand as if it were treasure. Rinse, repeat as necessary. His mom told me what an easy going little guy he was, and he proved it twice over.
Jax is just all boy. Happy, inquisitive, all american, all boy. And today may be his last day of being the only little guy around the house. Today, all eyes are on Jax. Tomorrow, he shares everything. I hope you had a great day Jax. Tomorrow, you get to meet your new brother Gage, and you get to be the star in one more person's eyes, your little brother.

And finally a face to go along with all these words. ( I've been a bad photo blogger with so many words and no pictures)



















I have to sleep right away....

Have a wonderful Thursday and congratulations to Rob and Melissa!!
