Where has the time gone...

I haven't been the best at keeping up with this blog. But I will try to do better. The summer came and went and I have started a second job working at my girls school. I'm really enjoying it and having the same schedule as my kids has been perfect.

Along with life's shifts and changes, I have had the opportunity to do some portraits over the summer. For the moment it's not letting me post any images, but I will be back soon to see if I can fix that.

For those of you who follow, thanks for your patience and again I will work on keeping up more regularly.

Goodbye Juergen and Elke

"The b.e.s.t. part of life is when your family becomes your friends, and your friends become your family." ---Danica Whitfield

Well, another vist from my family has come and gone. It's always such a sad day when they leave. This year my Uncle Juergen and Aunt Elke were here from Germany for 3 weeks. It's always so comforting for me to have my family here. I appreciate each day that I can spend with them since they are so far away. We plan to make a trip next June to see everyone in Germany. It's been 5 and a half years since I've been...too long!

New look....

I'm working on a new website, though it could take a while because of my complete lack of web skills. But along with my site I'm overhauling my look. I'm loving bright and colorful, so my new packaging etc. will go along with that. Check out my twitter page and new blog for a sneak peak of what's to come :)

Spring is here....maybe.

Can we trust that spring is actually here this time. I'm not sure, but I am sure enjoying the warmer weather and so are my kids. They have been having a blast out in our yard!

My little monkey just turned five and thought she was ready for shorter hair. She's been trying to convince me to cut it shorter for some time now....and while I'm still sad to see it gone, she's loving not having to brush through it every day. Since I knew it would be hard, we did one last photo shoot with long hair. Here are a few of those shots.

Another sign of spring....spring soccer season. I was able to do shoots for a few teams here in town. Go Beetles!! Go Bobcats. Here are a few of the shots from them.

Have a great week!

It's been a long while again since I've blogged. I'm including a few of the shoots I've done in between then and now. I've had the opportunity to work with some beautiful new babies, great families and some fabulous older children as well.

Winter has been a wonderful time of change for our family. Troy, my husband, changed jobs and has been blessed with a wonderful new schedule and a great place to work. It has given us much more family time then we've had in years.

The girls are really enjoying having Daddy home in the evenings and it's been such a treasure for me as well. No more bedtime routines on my own and no more staying up late waiting for him to get home. It's been something to get used to, but all for the better! It's also really, really nice to have dinners together again.

Tatum is enjoying first grade and almost done...WOW. I can't believe that in a few short months I'll have a Second Grader and a Kindergartner. Babies just don't stay babies for more then a second!

I'm looking forward to spring and the beautiful green it brings with it. I'll be working on soccer portraits this week and hope that it's warm enough for the kiddos to enjoy.

Thanks for staying in touch and I look forward to more updates coming soon!! Check out my website in the next month for some great new changes!!

Recent Work...

I've had a few photoshoots over the last few weeks that I haven't kept up on blogging so I thought I'd put some images on now.

I did a pregnancy shoot a few weeks back and am finally getting the images up on my blog and site. It was a wonderful shoot. Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing and it's always so much fun to be able to share it with excited new parents.
