A little rain and clouds for the thirsty desert, a great day for a photo shoot. Enjoy a few shots of this desert rose, so sweet and pretty, just waiting for this day to come.

“Clouds came floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”

Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Poet

“I am the only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”

Helen Keller

One more cutie I photographed for Kylazations hair accessories on Etsy.

“Children’s games are hardly games. Children are never more serious than when they play.”

-Montaigne

A mini-session for this cool little guy needing head shots to make it big.   He has the talent and looks!

Here is the latest little one at four weeks old.  Her dreamy angel face makes you think she slept the whole time!  It turned out we got great mommy and baby shots with all the extra cuddling time.   I really just fell in love with newborn photography all over again.

Mother is so sweet and beautiful!  She made it awfully hard to choose the best photos.  She came with no intention of being photographed and even said to try and crop her out and look at these precious shots of her.  A natural beauty….mom and baby!

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.

“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.”

-Abraham Lincoln

Are you moved by words? I love them when used so lovely.

Yeats creates this image and I went back to these photographs of the two fairy princesses playing in the backyard.  This is how intense children play and I wish for that passion in my everyday life, like a flame upon the mountain!  So, try to spread your wings a little more each day, who knows where you will go!
“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”
~William Butler Yeats, “The Land of Heart’s Desire,” 1894
