The movers are coming....


In one more day the first truck will be here to take our first load to Austin....which means my dear computer will go with it! I owe a few sneak peaks and I promise once I get unpacked in Austin...I will post them!!!!! Pinky promise. Just a lil disclaimer....I still have boxes that I never unpacked 5 years ago...so it could take awhile...lol!!!!!


The goodbyes have begun and boy has it been hard...we have soo many friends and family that we love and we are truly gooing to miss them!!!!!!! This weekend we were able to spend some time with them for dinner and too many drinks ( I had the time of my life) and my wonderful sister and friend also planned a little get together at the park...It was so nice to have our family together. Thanks girlies. And this weekend we are going to the spa for a nice and MUCH deserved pampering...we will also be going to my favorite restaurant...Javiers in Laguna Beach...yummy!!!!!


Thanks for peeking...my next post will be from Texas! I still cannot believe we are moving..sniff sniff

Miss Liz...here is your beauty!!!















I had such a FABULOUS time photographing Lil' Miss Katherine...she was so much fun to run around with! She has the most adorable personality that I just love...at one point she turned to me and said "Miss Michelle...can you pick yourself a flower for being such a good photographer student" Isn't that so cute. Miss Liz...I am sorry I made you stalk my blog for your peek...I hope it was worth the wait :)
Thanks for peeking!

p.s. I know the flower image I post often...but I just had to share this one in paticular because my Little Julianna was sitting on lap and said "Mamma did you take a picture of her holding the flower like this ? ( and she held her hand out) She is sooo my photographer in training!

Baby Madden "Take 2"...














I didn't mention in my last post that Little adorable Madden was a little sleepy on our first shoot...so I decided to go back and take a few more shots....and I simply just wanted to go back and love him up some more! This time I was able to photograph his big sis and big brother too! Mamma...I apologize for the delay in getting this sneak peek to you :)

Brothers...and the Mama with the belly...
























The beautiful mommy is pregnant with her 4th little boy...and this beautiful family is a part of my family. Miss "C" is my niece and I admire her dearly. I still remember when I first met her she told me that she hoped that one day I would be her auntie...I think she loves me more than her uncle...and she has known him longer..lol! She is an amazing mother...she is kind, loving and patient and and she even homeschools her little boys...something I do not think I could ever do...lol! Her hubby is equally amazing...he loves her dearly and is the MOST patient and hands on daddy...they are truly a beautiful family. I had a wondeful time photographing them...we will truly miss them!

The View....




Well, it's exactly one month before our move and there are days I am completely excited and then...there are those moments when when I cannot believe it is happening and I feel sad...sniff...sniff! I will miss my family more than words can express and I will miss all the wonderful friends that I have made the last 5 years...that have become like family. I could go on and on...but I won't bore you. For now, I just want to share our gorgeous view from our new home in Austin. Isn't it just GORGEOUS!!!!! To my family and friends....Doesn't if make you want to move out there with us...c'mon everyone is doing it??? LOL!!!!

Happy 4th...Enjoy all your time with family and friends.
