My kids like to buy seeds at Home Depot and then play with them in the backyard. On the day we moved out of our little apartment in Ft. Lauderdale, I discovered these little pumpkin sprouts as I was collecting the odds and ends we kept outside in the yard. We only lived there 7 months, but our family definitely grew and are leaving some roots behind.
till next time…
I’m a little late with this one. Obviously St. Patrick’s Day was last month. I love these two kiddos. We see each other quite often which is amazing. Developing relationships with my tiniest of clients is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. We all spent an afternoon together at Yaya’s house. We played dress up, rode a pony, harvested fresh eggs from the chicken coup, and ran around and played in the grass. It was perfection!
till next time….
Two fairy rag dolls, a wolverine costume, and the most delicious baby you’ve ever seen?????? Yes Please!!!!!!!!!
Meet baby Jack. He arrived 10 weeks early much to the surprise of his mom and dad, and spent over two months in the NICU at Baptist Hospital. It was a long road, but Jack’s a fighter, and is now home where he belongs.
The sun ALWAYS comes out tomorrow for this Annie. We spent an amazing couple of hours together during her spring break.
A couple of months ago I got a call asking if I would be willing to donate a gift certificate for the Greg Wohrle Foundation‘s “The Feel the Love Fest” fundraising event. Kim Heller, began telling me about Greg Wohrle and the mission of the Foundation. Taken from their website “The Greg Wohrle Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide funding and education for brain tumor research and respite to those most in need.
Our efforts are focused on enhancing the everyday lives of families, affected with brain tumors, through emotional, financial and physical support.” I dig that! But as our conversation continued and she told me about the man/father Greg was and just about how awesome “The Feel the Love Fest” event is for families, I knew I wanted to do more, get involved. Anyone can stick a gift certificate in the mail. So I went. Took my camera and took casual portraits of the families and kids really spending quality, wholesome time together. I was blown away by the scope of the event. Hundreds of people coming together to celebrate the life of Greg all while raising funds for such an amazing cause. I was kicking myself that I didn’t bring my own kids. It was really a fun family time for everyone.
So that being said, the complete online gallery from the event can be found on pictage.com. All monies earned from sales of the images will go directly back to the Greg Wohrle Foundaton.

…Yep!
Till next time…
“Beauty” doesn’t even come close.
See you tomorrow!
Well AT&T didn’t come that Monday or the following Wednesday, but TODAY. Being that we’re living in a brand new community, there were some bumps in the road, but now we are “wired” or should I say “wireless”. We were two weeks without cable or internet, which really in retrospect wasn’t so bad. Some of our neighbors who moved in closer to the beginning of the year waited months. So we are pretty lucky. But with a Starbucks right around the corner, and very understanding friends and clients, I made it work. It’s funny how quiet my house is at night without the TV on. Almost like an old friend?!? I hate to admit the fact that I am addicted to internet and cable TV. Is it fair to call it an addiction, when really in our everyday lives its really become a necessity. Yikes!
So that being said tomorrow will be two weeks that we’ve been in our new house. I love it. Every inch of it is sweet. I’ll be posting pictures of the house and document the entire design process on a separate blog called “Sisters Not Designers“. Sistersnotdesigners.com is an online journal that I’ll be sharing with my sisters. We’ve all made big living changes recently. Sisters Not Designers are our stories of moving, designing and living with people we love. I’ll be posting later this week. So stay tuned.
My business blog will still be the spot for session sneak peaks and personal pictures of my own children.
Speaking of my own children…
See you tomorrow!
Another gorgeous family came by the studio.
35 of your closest friends and family for a three day cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Majesty of the Seas to celebrate your wedding?? Yes, Please!
This is how Josh and Maggie chose to take the plunge. I was fortunate enough to be one of the 10 non sailing guests able to attend. Josh is up there on the list as one of my oldest and dearest friends. I think he’s actually #3 after Amy and Nathan. Being able to share in a friend of 25 years’ wedding is really an amazing experience.
Their engagement session can be found here and here.
Congratulations guys.
