Ok, not really. I do, however, love to enter contests over at I ♥ faces. This week, the theme is "I've got to wear shades", and the minute I saw that, I knew *exactly* what picture I would be entering!! About a month or so ago, my good friend Matt and I went out for my usual every-day picture taking expedition. While we were out, we found the coolest bridge. My friend, being the great model that he is, immediately scaled said bridge and let me shoot till my heart was content. (I have the greatest friends!!) Here is my favorite capture from that shoot. To me, this photo says "I'm a real man-kinda-man. I eat raw steaks, and shave with broken glass, and do.....all kinds of other man stuff." (yeah, that's all I've got; I'm totally a little-sissy-girl.)

Day 215 was a fun day for me!! I got to do the second baby-filled session of my friend Shawna's 'Watch me Grow' package (which has also been blogged about here) Here is that sweet girl in some super-fun outtakes! ♥
For day 214 I took a ride, and wound up somewhere between Caroga Lake and Bleaker. (I know exactly where I ended up, but it sort of ruins the magic of it all, to my mind anyway) I stopped, initially, to capture a beautiful little stream, which I did, but the pics didn't turn out the way I imagined them, so those got scrapped. That's just how I roll.
Instead, I found a pretty little flower...
And an AH-MAZ-ING red dragon fly! (Yes, you read that correctly, this sucker was BRIGHT red!)
Follow me as I document the special moments that make life worth living! I love photographing children in their natural environment and local scenery. I am willing and able to do Custom Christmas cards, Birth Announcements, and Invitations upon request.
I'm a photographer, a mother, a daughter, sister and friend. I love a bottle of good red wine and more genres of music than I could possibly name. I live on coffee, and the smiles I get from my kids. Photography is a passion.... something I could not get through the day without....on par with music, which is necessary for life.
My perfect match in nearly every way, Bobbo is truly my best friend. I love hanging out with him as much today as I did nearly ten years ago, and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing partner in crime, and a wonderful father for my humans. That's right, ladies, I have scored. Truly. He cooks, he works on cars, he baths, diapers, and rocks babies. He is truly a gem.
The Little Humans
Miss Amazing
My sweet, curious blue-eyed first born. From an early age, I was convinced that she was a super-hero, and to this day she has never ceased to amaze me, both with her thoughtful nature, and her ability to see the beauty and the good in everything. Amelia-mazing is an incredibly wonderful big sister, and loves and defends her brother with a vengeance, and I adore the bond that they have; they are truly best friends.

Toes
My handsome, determined, sweet second born son. From day one, tiny-toes was the exact opposite of his sister in every way. He has taught me that there is always more than one way to do things, (and he is determined to find every one, let me tell you!) and that you can watch a single episode of scooby-doo every day, for all the t.v. time you're allowed each day for 2 weeks without losing your mind......if it's a really good episode.
