The McNabb Family

Last weekend I had the opportunity to have a session for the McNabb Family: Robert, Angie and Jessie.  It's always fun to take pictures of Jessie - she seems to love it and has a beautiful smile and personality!

Ladybug

So the theme for the I Heart Faces photo contest this week is "Red" and is spotlighting Go Red for Women!  I found this picture I took of my niece, Scarlet (extra funny that her name is Scarlet a.k.a. Red...hee hee) from the first moments after she arrived home last September.  She has a little bit of a temper, something that I can appreciate, which is probably why she loves me so much...I understand her :)

A Day in the Sun

Finally!  A day of decent spring-like weather down here in Mississippi.  A perfect day for getting out with the family and having some fun.  The highlight of the day...watching the kids take turns riding down the hill in the back yard on a little 4-wheeler.  Boys will be boys, and Callie...well, she's just Callie!

New Welcome for my Facebook Page!

I'm working on updating my Facebook page with some user friendly (and pretty) new options.  I've added a contact tab, an Etsy tab (which will hopefully have some new products available soon), and a welcome tab that my fans will see when they first arrive on the page.  Now if I can just work the kinks out, it'll be good :)



Be My Valentine!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I decided that my daughter should have a little photo shoot to get some updated pictures and to have as Valentines for the family.  Here are a few of the shots from the session! 

An Adventure with Grammy and The Gang

Grammy had promised an adventure...and one that required rubber boots, no less!  So, Friday, Callie and I met her cousin Joseph at Grammy's house to join in the fun.  The kids were both very anxious to get started on this adventure, and were waiting (I can't really say patiently) by the front door.

Once we started on our trek (a walk around a portion of the 90 acres my parents own in Magnolia) the kids were focused on spotting wildlife (you know, birds :), wading through the river (a pretty wide mud puddle at the bottom of a hill), and investigating their surroundings (peeking in the barn).

It was such a beautiful day - warm with a cool breeze.  Callie alternated from holding hands with Gram (below) to holding hands with Grammy to being an independent young lady intent on making it on her own, which is how she is most of the time anyway.

Kids really help you to see the beauty in the everyday.

Here are the main adventurers - Grammy, Joseph, and Callie - as we were nearing the end of our excursion and the promise of popsicles for the weary travelers.

Innocent Wonder

This photo was taken during a session with one of my dear friend's sons, Toby, in 2010.  He seemed to be in awe of everything around us during the shoot which is typical of that first year, I suppose.  I wonder why it is we can't remember what those first years of our lives are like, when everything is new and wonderful.  I still feel that sense of awe and wonder during certain times and situations in my life - it's a feeling you could get lost in.
