With a heavy heart….

God called upon Alex Laynor last night. Many of you know his story as I shared it here some time ago. He fought a long, difficult battle. He did so with a heart filled with love, a positive attitude and an appreciation for life like no man I’ve ever known. He inspired so many people. I’m still amazed that on the day we met, one conversation, one real, raw, open, conversation in a parking lot in downtown Austin with Alex, about his life, his love for his wife, his children and his outlook, unequivocally changed who I am, the way I see my life and the choices I make. I pray that Danielle, Lexi and Austin and the […]

the birth of john

I connected with this family right away, from the moment I walked in the door for their pre-birth consultation. Their dynamic, the ages and relationships of their children, all felt so very familiar (minus the baby on the way of course). Visiting them felt just like being at home! Their sweet baby boy is a few months old now and I hear growing pretty quick! He was born at the Austin Area Birthing Center. I can honestly say that this one was tough for me to stand back and blend in. They are a riot, I laughed and smiled so much during early labor. A whole lot of smiles and a whole lot of love. This labor [...]

Since our garage sale was canceled today (rain, ugh!), I have been trying to catch up on a lot of other lingering little things on my to do list inbetween editing my first session of 2011 and chasing kids…..

I’ve had quite a few inquiries in the past few weeks about whether my mentoring through The Birth Experience will continue. It was initially planned to end on February 1, 2011. I have no intentions of the program ending, I have loved it. So, yes, I am still available for birth photography mentoring for those who wish to grow this area of their business and I am super excited about it! The forum and mentoring will remain open until […]

An Official Welcome

I have a new employee. Well, if you call since October “new”. Ty has been officially working for Life in Motion and has been on the payroll since October of last year. And let me tell you, I absolutely could not have made it through a very, very busy season without him. He’s been working behind the scenes doing all sorts of things to help me keep things organized and running smoothly. He’s done a wonderful job and far exceeded any expectations I had about us working together. He’s been very mature, very responsible, very trustworthy. He has a set of tasks to do for each client and so far he does it with a smile, ahead of schedule and […]
