Faith

i photographed the parents of this little baby girl when they were pregnant and unsure of what the little one would be - chandler or faith -- well, faith is now a precious, smiley, little 5 month old who was a total joy to photograph -- her mom was still getting ready in the other room when i managed to shoot some of these priceless pictures with her giggling and grinning ear to ear --i have to pat myself on the back for making her so full of smiles. we're taking some more tomorrow of faith with her grandpa - what a lucky grandpa to call her his granddaughter.

Welcome Asher

I am finally the owner of a working laptop once again! And while I was "out of the loop," my dear friend Aimee's little bundle of a boy was born at the beginning of the month - welcome Asher James! What a perfect little guy!

Dying over here!!!

It's killing me - I just bought a new laptop and two weeks later, it's in for repair! I am so cursed when it comes to technology - but I insist that I didn't do anything to this one, it just won't install any of the software ---so I am left to use this vintage computer which I don't use for pictures - I have loads of pictures to upload, especially from 4th of July, and I have no where to go with them! Not dealing with my photos each morning is like not being able to have coffee in the morning! Looking forward to getting back into the swing of it once the laptop decides to cooperate with me!

a year older...and more thankful than ever

july 1st, 2008 -- did i forget that i own a blog? i am a whole year older since i last updated -- celebrated my birthday (my shared birthday with my husband, but he has 2 years on me) on sunday -we'll just say i feel 24 still! wishful thinking..actually, i am happy to be older and here and healthy - we were out celebrating on saturday night with friends and as we were driving to our destination, we witnessed a horrible car accident. not sure what got into me, but i was out of the car to help the victims before my husband could even turn around and see me in the back seat. i helped get one girl out of her car and then held another very injured guy's head upright and did my best to keep him awake until the paramedics arrived --the whole event was extremely sobering and alarming - one of the two guys in the car was to get married that following day - could you imagine? i have no idea if they survived and can't seem to shake this concern and horrible feeling for what happened...if i hadn't been with friends, i would have gone straight home to just go into my girls' room and just stare at them -- i remember even inviting them to just come home and stare at them with me! really makes you count your blessings..and those two are my most precious blessings i own! with this holiday weekend approaching, everyone pleeeeeeeease buckle up, stay safe, and drive carefully! above are a few blasts from the past of my little fourth of july babies -time sure does fly!
