Category Archives: Photography One of the benefits of working from home is the flexibility it can offer. I try to focus on being grateful rather than overwhelmed, because the flexibility is a blessing and a curse. Working from home I can sometimes slip into a place where my expectations don’t factor in that I do both. How unfair…  Cindy Contacted me after she became Regional Vice President for Arbonne, to get an updated head shot picture. I just love Arbonne ladies! Every one I have worked with or met, radiates happiness. It is contagious when you are around someone who is happy, has a genuine passion for what they do, and exudes positivity…. no comments  Me and my boy playing Super Mario on the Wii after school today. I find playing the Wii with him is full of beautiful parenting opportunities. Accepting failure and trying at something over and over again, learning to control our tempers, making silly faces instead of being mean, chivalry (Trey always goes ahead of me… show 3 comments your photos are AMAZING I could see a whole book of these– they are amazing amazing amazing– I LOVE them. . xoox, e *This* is a beautiful moment. I see Trey has great fashion sense. Love it!  When I talked to Jessica on the phone about the photographs she envisioned getting from our session, she said she wanted to capture how much her children adore each other and the love they share as a family. She kept saying she feels like the luckiest mom in the world, to have such sweet children…. no comments  Helping my boy and his buddy with their project at the Science Fair. This week I experimented… …doing a project that was at my sons level and interest instead of one to impress. …took a different approach as a parent when presented with a challenging situation, which resulted in a deepening of trust and love… no comments  It’s tricky when he calls down at night …”Mom, will you lay with me…” after his dad puts him to bed. He wants an extra snuggle, a back rub or to talk through something that happened in his day. The first two don’t take very long, it’s when he feels like talking…and isn’t it terrible… show 10 comments What a beautful photo!!! I love it. I absolutely am a big fan of these types of snapshots and not always posed pictures. : ) You and your son look so much at ease and happy. *This* is a beautiful moment. from the most amazing sparkly woman this is perfect– thank GOD you are letting go of the “perfect” shot so these perfect moments can be captured . .. love love love– where ever did you get that ceiling beauty and twinkle lights .. heeee That makes me so happy honey… Tears welling here just reading your comment. You are a fabulous mama to those furry babies-they need you and love you…and you are a great aunt and family member- loved, appreciated and needed. xoxoxo You still have one at home with you which is a blessing but I imagine also exhausting. I just photographed a family with a 17yr old boy, 12 yr old boy, 5 yr old boy and 3 yr old girl. Something about seeing the span really made me realize how one day my little boy will be 17. Oh geez…I started tearing up when talking to the mom. They were such sweet kids too. We do the best we can in the moment-but I think keeping in mind it won’t be forever helps me get out of myself sometimes. xo This made me teary. So sweet!!! I struggle with the same thing at times. After a long day I can be short because I am ready for a break and you have reminded me that I need to slow down and cherish some of those moments because they will too soon be gone (just wish it was easier to remember at the end of a 12 hr day with them..lol)! This photo so touched my heart. I’m fighting tears – am so sad not to have a beautiful child in my life ,,,,Only cats and dogs. Oh man, do I ever ***LOVE*** this picture. So much “our life” captured in one single snapshot, that no one would know or care to know, but what defines our family and experiences (cats included.) |
