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.

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

One boy. One girl. A perfect set of two and sure to be friends forever. It was wonderful meeting you little ones. ox

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.

A newborn baby is a creature of  exquisite details. It is important to experience their unique beauty, be in the moment with them and let these details sing through images so they can last forever.

Hello friends. We’re back ! Australia was magical in so many ways. I soaked in so much beauty from the beaches to the rain forest – the newborns to the amazing souls attending the workshop. Beauty everywhere.

There aren’t many words to truly describe how fantastic it feels to be home though. Home is the softest blanket that we wrapped up tightly in as soon as we stepped through the door. We missed it. It’s good to miss things though – makes you grateful for what you have.

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 …

If I were to guess of what the feeling of love looks like, my guess would be that it must look like a dream. Perhaps how a dream appears in your mind as you begin to wake.

Sweet little butterfly, you are home and you are loved.

I apologize for my blog absence. Every so often I tend to bury myself in wonderful sessions, my beautiful family and projects to make head and heart happy. I have many recent sessions to share and still many more due dates coming up, all this (hopefully) before my big trip in May. There is so, so much to do before then though. Wish me luck!

(For, you see, each day I love you more, Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.)

A quick note:  My internet connection has been horrible lately.  We are switching to another provider tomorrow in hopes of remedying this silliness.  I thank you all for your patience.  Since there currently is a slight delay in my email reply’s, for any urgent messages, please don’t hesitate to give me a call 403.352.1432.  Thank you so much!
