In current studio news – am having email troubles. I am not sure why this is happening just yet. Today I have been trying to resend a number of emails, but I unfortunately have no idea how many emails never made it to their recipients. Another problem is, I have no idea if this issue is also affecting my incoming emails (as the problem seems sporadic). This is big trouble since I do so much communication by email.

If you have emailed me in the last month and have *not* received an email back or are waiting (longer than 72 hours) to hear from me for any reason, please write or call me again. I am so sorry to have inconvenienced anyone. I will continue to figure out the issue and more-so, the solution to this problem.

Sweet baby boy, it was so nice to see such bright eyes on a tiny little person. As wide eyed as you were, I managed to capture some sleepy time too ♥

Oh little bunny, that huge toothless grin and smiley eyes are far too cute for Mommy to handle. I love how proud you are of yourself when you figure things out. You are stunning. ox

(These were taken back in March … Sometimes I don’t get around to personal images as often as I would like. lol.)

After a session this past week, I stopped to breathe and just had a quiet moment in my studio. I was tiding up, my music was on, candle lit and the light outside started to fade as the next rain storm came rolling in. It was wonderful. (I am a mother of three – yes I was cleaning, but there was no screaming and no one was tattle telling on the other – it was wonderful. Ha)! My studio is an average space by most standards, but it is mine and I love it. I love exploring details. It’s makes you slow down. That’s a marvelous thing.

The beauty of love and the depth of connection heals me. Tension melts, stress subsides and the world is wonderful.

Dear darling boy,

I was expecting you for a very long time. Your Mommy told me very early and I adore her for it. It makes me feel like part of the family. You have the same charming and handsome characteristics (with the same hairline) as your older brother, whom I photographed almost 2 whole years ago as a newborn. I suspect however, you will have the same spunk and charisma of your older sister who is a crazy beautiful, free spirit. Welcome to the world darling. Welcome. ox.

Life gives you such beauty to be inspired by. The day I met this darling man, the sky’s were full of spring loveliness – beautiful blue with fluffy cotton candy clouds. Definitely worthy of a coordinating image.

The day was full of much more loveliness as well …

Sweet Darling, you came a long way to visit me. We listened to music and danced. You tapped your foot to the music and your joy was soul lifting. Just like the fresh tulips blooming, your energy felt like spring. You are radiant love. Pure light.

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows.  For love is the beauty of the soul.  - Saint Augustine

Have a lovely Monday!

What an honor it is to witness a tiny rose blossom.  It is a gift to me as a story teller, to grow with the beautiful souls and to see what amazing people they become.
