Let me tell you all about it...I am going to a photography workshop from one of the most amazing photographers out there...Audrey Woulard. She is a true inspiration!!!!! I will be learning about the business side of photography and about natural light...I will be coming back a new photographer LOL...LOL!!!!! I can't wait to tell you all about it. And ofcourse I could not leave a post with out pictures...here are several of the girls...

Baby Girl "A"

Today I had a great session with the most mellow 3 week old newborn. I think she only cried once thee entire time I was there. Her sweet big sister "A" tried to avoid the camera as much as possible...I'll get you next time sweet princess. I was still able to grab a couple of images of her beautiful blue eyes. Enjoy Mrs. L.

Lil Miss "N"....

Has to be one of the most beautiful little girls I have ever seen. She was so much fun to photograph. Her little brother "N" was equally as beautiful. Congratulations on becoming a BIG SISTER! Enjoy!!!!

A new appreciation....

This summer my boys were apart of an amazing swim team. Our season came to an end today and I have to say I am happy that I no longer have to wake at 6:50 in morning to get my oldest son to practice at 7:30 (C'mon...it's summer do you blame me ?). In all honestly, it was such a great season. And I sooooo have a new appreciation for swimmers...the work outs were insane...and the time and comittment they put into it is remarkable (I'm tired...I couldn't think of a better word)! I know I couldn't do it...but then again...I can't even walk upstairs without losing my breathe... LOL!!!!! Mr. "J" and Lil "L"...we are so proud of you!

I was looking for photos to give to the coach for a slide show and I came across these photos...aren't they just so handsome?

Thankful....

This picture of little Miss "J" reminds me of a photo you may find on a greeting card and I though it was perfect for this post. Here it goes...it might be a novel:

Earlier this week my beautiful sister had surgery on a anyurism (sp?) they found in her brain and thank GOD they were were able to coil it with out brain surgery. I truly am Thankful to the man upstairs. I know she was worried and I wanted to let her know that I love her and I knew she would be okay. Sister...you mean the world to me:). Just to back up a bit, we have a family history of brain anyurisms. We sadly lost my Mom to one over 20 years ago...and almost 3 years ago my younger sister had one that ruptured. I cannot begin to tell you how scarey that was...just to think we almost lost her brings so much pain to my heart. It is difficult to this day to even think about it. I love you too Baby Sister!!! (sniff-sniff)! God has blessed us with both of your lives. I am just thankful for all my family...my OLDEST sister and my 2 brothers too!!!! My wonderful husband that does so much for us and my beautiful children...that bring so much joy to my heart. They truly make my heart smile:) While I'm at it...I have the best mother-in-law (just a tad- bit opinionated) ..she is the best Grandma in the world. And I truly love and adore all my sister -in-laws(okay..my brother-in laws too)...my nieces & nephews (on both sides) and ALL my friends and my neighbors, that are truly some of my greatest friends...My Daddy...thanks for all you do. I am sure you are wondering...why I am so mushy (sp?) I was just having a bad day and a good friend told me that I was an "Inspiration"....me an Inspiration???? No one has ever said that to me... and I cannot tell you how much that meant to me. Thanks Mrs. SP!!!! So, her kind words and the recent events, inspired me to want to let you all know how much I love you and how THANKFUL and blessed I am that you are all in my life...

Summer Time!!!!

I love summer...most of the time!!! I say that only because it is sometimes difficult to keep 4 young children busy and happy. Well, today....I only had two of my children, so we headed to the beach. Yeah!!! It was so nice and relaxing ( we missed you "H" and "L"). Just wanted to share a couple of images. . "J" and "J" were so cooperative and loving...I think they eventually got tired of the kisses. LOL!!!!

Enjoy!!

San Diego

We just got back from a little trip to San Diego with Family. It was so nice to spend time with family that we do not get to see often. Thanks for a great couple of days!!! Here are couple of snap shots.

Enjoy!

Blogger Band Wagon

Well, I am doing it....my first attempt at blogging...Yeah!!!!! I have been a Blog stalker for a few months...especially since I have started my new venture with following my passion of photography. I am not sure the road my blog will take... I am thinking a little personal and mostly sharing my journey of my photography business. So I hope you can check in once and awhile and "Stalk" my blog. I still need to figure out how to pretty it up...it will come in time ( I hope).

Here a few pictures of my kids...they have been stuck inside all morning while I created my blog, so they decided to play dress up. I think my little Spider Man really thinks he can climb...what do you think? My oldest tried to get in on the dress up but I think he is a little too big for the costume...LOL. As for the girls, I think they were tired of the PRINCESS stuff!!!
