Magic Ultrasounds

Today was the day to see inside Ellie's tummy and take a close look at Sky... I am so amazed with technology ! Ultrasounds were not this advanced back when I was having them. Isn't my first grandbaby beautiful ?? This won't be the last time you all see her :) I have so many ideas for beautiful pictures of her it is crazy !!


Look at her little face. I think she has Ellie's lips...
She kept wanting her feet and hands in front of her face... Look at that tiny foot.. I can't wait to kiss her.
Her little hand holding her foot is just too cute.
I saw this window in the office as we were leaving I thought it might make a nice sillouette.
Thank you for walking this journey with me :)

shhhh, it's kind of a secret...

My birthday is in two weeks ... Dec 19th.... Yes, I was the kid that ran around telling everyone it was my birthday :) I thought I would tell you all two weeks early and maybe you can email me or leave me a comment on my birthday !! The month of December brings a lot of reflection for me every year. What were the lessons learned over the past year. I am really trying to learn from the mistakes and soak up the good things and be thankful. Personally I have had a very difficult few years... A huge mistake that has had lasting consequences and finding my gifts in a way I probably would never have experienced without the mistake. I have a passion for this job that even surprises me :) I have found my own voice and how I want to express it and I feel soooo free when I use my camera and it is sooo wonderful ! I have the opportunity to bring joy to people I don't even know :) I can watch and appreciate the way you all love your families and that is a gift .... My love life is my children and my work. I am so thankful that God has been gracious to give me people to love and work to do... One day, maybe even for me, there could be more.. until then I am grateful and content for my connections to the planet... my kids and my connection to you... my heart and my camera...

I will let you know what I decide to do on my birthday. Maybe I will bring along my camera :) I can tell you, if I can round up all of my kids it will be somehting that includes seeing their beautiful faces.

Bert and Amanda Got Married !!!!!!!!!

Bert and Amanda got married :) I have thought a lot about this family ever since saturday. I meet and spend time with a ton of people that are new to me. It is something I really like about this job. This was soooo special this past weekend. Amanda got my number from someone in the family that I truly think is one of my favorite people so it is no surprise that there would be even more great humans hiding in this group of people :) Amanda married Bert and his special son Crayden. Crayden and Bert have been taking good care of eachother for a long while and and it is so wonderful when God brings people together and gives Love again !! I loved that Bert and Amanda chose to include vows to Crayden in the ceremony and all three were made for eachother ! They got married on family land THAT IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL ! Amanda and I had the same vision of what her pictures would be using the grounds and the lake and the railroad tracks and then the weather had another idea. It was sooooo cold and wet and yucky outside that the only time we ventured out at all were to take some pictures on the front steps... I do like those :) Sometimes you can have a plan to go down one road and you are forced to go down another and find out that the other has beauty too :) That is what happened !! Amanda , I hope you like your sneek peek... YOU are so much fun and beautiful !!! THANK YOU for making me a part of your day !!!!
