A Mother’s Love

Happy Mother’s Day! I was looking for a photograph of me with my children and could not find any recent pictures. Yikes! So, this week make sure you get a photo with your little ones.

At the Beach

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience,

and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

Harriet Tubman

“To myself I am only a child playing on the beach,

while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.”

Isaac Newton

Today is a smooth white seashell,

hold it close and listen to the beauty of the hours.”

What Did You Do Today?

Usually we answer with our highlights or NOTHING. Recently, I have crossed into another whole dimension of mommyhood that I think is here way too soon. I have now seen the dreaded eye rolls and the complete thought out answer of “nothing” when asked what did you do in school today? Yes, I know all about specific questioning like what was your favorite thing today etc. But, as I said this is a whole new attitude in my little life! So, as I am evaluating myself and how I need to restructure our home, schedule and even my attitude, I found that I answered a friend with “nothing” to what we did this weekend. Oops! I am one important role model for my little treasures and sometimes it is easy to forget.

So, what did we do today? I will skip the endless supply of laundry, never-ending dish pile and changing of the light bulbs.

First:

Major excavation in backyard looking for worms. Outcome, beautiful home with flower beds made in jar,

but no worm friends to be found.

Boogie boarding in the desert. After riding bikes and scooters come the more creative activities

like pulling a boogie board on the skate board. Whee!

Then, a little hunting for mesquite pods to make “bean soup” which is the equivalent of mudpie when I grew up. Lauren is hard for me to get on camera because she just likes to do the opposite

of what I want! So, here she is having a great day making soup.

Last, we go inside to make sure our new Christmas present, “Rainbow the Fish,” is well and not noticed by Oscar the Cat. A little play time with Oscar and then on to the normal house

stuff like getting clean ond off to make dinner. So, THAT IS WHAT WE DID TODAY. Hope your day was filled with wonder and joy!

Double the Sweetness

Newborn twins being photographed at Baby as Art workshop!

What a wonderful time.

It’s double the giggles and double the grins,

and double the trouble if you’re blessed with twins.

Itsy-Bitsy Baby Parts

Who can resist the cutest little baby parts? This family loves the little toes on baby that wrap around their fingers!

Photographs that capture the little toes, fingers, ears and nose are such a treasure as they grow too quickly.

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

Birthday Parties

Shooting a child’s birthday celebration is fun and I am able to capture their emotion without them knowing it! Here is Hannah celebrating her day with a load of friends at the park and a magician. The images with her friends will be treasured keepsakes. A great party!

A Hot Day at the Train Park

A great day at the park, this little shy guy hung in there for a quick and sweaty photo shoot. The ice cream made up for everything. I LOVED how his personality came through to the camera, I think he may have been figuring out how to build his own camera at home. A big thinker!
