"People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t have any!"

This is Ivana, we used to volunteer together at the YWCA childcare. A time when neither of us ever imagined we would be young parents. In these pictures she hadn't put on any nice clothes, hadn't done her hair up and wasn't even wearing makeup. There is so much natural beauty in the simplicity of just being a mom.

A little piece of me

As many of you know I am working (very hard) to start up a photography business. Especially with the economy being how it is, it is proving to be very...and I mean VERY hard. Some times we all need to take a break from the stress of every day life and have some fun. Aside from photographing other people and other people's little ones, I photograph my own.
My daughter is the light of my life and I just can't help but share some of her with all of you.

Phylisha and beautiful Audrey. As I'm sure she knows, I stole the title of this post from Phylisha's facebook. Thursday was the first time I have met little Audrey. She is a beautiful little baby with such an obvious personality, yet she is so calm and happy. Hopefully I will get together with them again some time soon!

Tonight I got to meet up with an old friend and capture a few moments with her and her new fiance. The shoot was 50's style and so much fun! We laughed the whole time. I am so happy for these two and wish them all the best. I can't wait to shoot their wedding!!

There is nothing as wonderful as spending time with those who make you happy. It has been a weekend filled with friends and family! First I got to meet the wonderful little boy Jasper who was in his mommy's tummy a few posts before. Second and much needed road trip with my best friend and our little ones. And last a day with my little family. Tomorrow will be yet another day with family and will hopefully bring some wonderful pictures!
