I can finally post this since all the mama’s in our family have opened their gifts! I made 10×10 press printed books and absoltely love how they came out! You can view the pages here : ABC Book Slideshow I used Tina’s awesome ABC Templates, all her designs seriously rock!  You can get them here:  My Lil Creations I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day!  Mine was fabulous!  I got to sleep in on Saturday, saw an awesome sunset, had homemade (by the hubster) french toast on Sunday, cards and flowers from the kids (macro shots coming) and Willow Tree mother statues.  I didn’t have to cook a single meal or change a single diaper all day yesterday!  So […]

Click Here:  A TRIBUTE TO SOME OF MY FAVORITE MOTHERS When I first started working on this project, it was so much fun to go through the images on my computer.  As I finished gathering the images, I thought it would be nice to add a few of me with my children.  After hours of searching, I found one photograph.  One.  I was devastated.  Capturing memories is something I love to do, and not to mention, it’s my job.  I was jealous of my clients.  Isn’t it my responsibility as my children’s mother to capture their lives?  I am a big part of that, and I failed. Why was I not in any of the photographs?  Because it’s just easier […]

Took the little one to the park today for lunch with my mom…..it was uber hot by the time we got there and full sun (her red face proves it too!). As we were leaving the sprinklers came on in the big grassy area. Taryn wouldn’t have anything to do with it. She’d want to run out there but once it started to hit her she’d run back and say "rain rain"……so she stuck to her little pitiful puddle =)  I used the Nikon D50 for these because it’s smaller and easier to carry than the 5D.  Sometimes I miss the Nikon color!  When Ty got home and saw this he said "you went to the park??  you went to […]

I can’t find her anywhere 😉   Love love love this….girly tough stuff. Be sure to come back on Friday – I’m working on something special for you for Mother’s Day!  Thanks for stoppin in!

Sometimes I have the urge to post something because it makes me happy, and for no other reason.  So if you stopped in to see some good technical photographs, sorry, this may not be the post =)  But she does make me happy, very happy. Last week it stormed here, this tells me summer is coming, afternoon thunderstorms, like clockwork, visit us in the summertime.  Well, our dog Kylie is a woosie.  As the thunder rolled in I could hear her scratching at the back door so I told Taryn "let’s go get Kylie, she’s scared".  Wroooooong thing to say!  From that point on, all day long, everytime Taryn heard thunder she’d dive into my lap and say "rain rain […]
