Look how big I am now!

I find so much joy in my job as a photographer. Besides being a mother, I truly think this is what God put me on this earth to do. I promise I will find ways to help others through my art, whether it be charity or putting a smile one someone's face. 

I always get super excited before a shoot too. I take notes for each shoot to make sure that my art reflects not only me, but the person I am shooting. I want each shoot to be different. 

Well, point being said, I was soooo excited for this shoot. Of course, Ashley is my friend and her family is really sweet, but her parents have a cool house with a ton of light - wait, did I mention that this shoot was probably during one of the darkest days I have ever seen during a spring month. WE HAD NO LIGHT! That is really hard to when you work with natural light 90% of the time. Well, I worked with what I had and got some beautiful portraits. I cannot wait for you to see the rest!

I am going to start with my favorite photo first! And of course adding a quote ;)

"We never know the

love of our parents for us until we

have become parents."

~Henry Ward Beecher~

That fits perfect since this was a family shoot and with the first grandchild!

When I see a child I know grow, it always reminds me of this beautiful, and true, quote:

Cooking and cleaning

can wait 'til tomorrow.

For babies grow up,

we've learned to our sorrow;

So quiet down cobwebs;

dust go to sleep,

I'm rocking my baby,

and babies don't keep

~unknown~

Isn't that beautiful? I always think of this when my house 

needs cleaned and the laundry is piled up. What is more important than

spending time with the little people that we love most in this world? 

Well, I can't believe that Carter is already 4 months!!!! He sure is loved though and I think you can tell by the look in the eyes of his family. You can see their adoration.
