Happy spring!

So sorry I've been missing! I have some exciting news coming in the next few weeks though! :) Check out lots of recent pics here. Here is one for now...

January ramblings

This afternoon my four year old declared, “Mom, you have got to change into another person!”

I wasn’t sure that I wanted to hear what was going to come next… I wondered if he could sense my insecurities about not living up to the “better person” that I’d like to be… or maybe he wished I could morph into a Super Mom who always had stimulating preschool crafts at the ready on a gloomy January day… or perhaps he envisioned a mom who didn’t constantly wear a long fuzzy bathrobe over her normal daytime clothes in an attempt to stay warm (in the same house that the male family members complain of sweating in)…

I asked him what he meant.

“You know…like a fireman…or a postman…or a doctor. Or even a bank person.” (The “bank people” give out lollypops, so I know why that is one of his favs. I have to admit I was surprised that the postman and doctor were in the running for ‘coolest occupation from a preschool standpoint’. Although now that I think about it, he very well could have meant “policeman” instead of “postman”. They sound very much alike when spoken in Kaleb-ese.)

“I don’t like phot-aah-graphers…I like crazy firemen who can touch fires. Or you could be an alligator. That would be cooler than a phot-aah-grapher.”

Hmmm. He may have a point about the coolness factor.

I, however, am very happy to be a photographer. If I were a fireman or an alligator, I would have never captured this of my two little guys…

For my mom...

Happy Holidays!

I feel so incredibly blessed to have the job that I do. I truly love it! I just adore the heartwarming e-mails and messages that clients, grandparents of clients, friends of clients, and even complete strangers have sent to tell me that they are touched by images that I've created. So here is my own holiday "thank you"...Blue Candy style...

thank you

Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!!

If you haven't noticed...

I've been posting more of my own kiddos and less client stuff here... Everyone is more than welcome to stay (I love reading all of your comments and e-mails!!), but I'd also like to invite you to see where I've been putting my client work here

Don't worry, I'll still be sharing here; it just may be more frequent over there! Here is a recent cutie - a repeat client from this summer.

It's the most wonderful time...

...of the year - especially if you are four years old! Kaleb and I went shopping for special decorations for his room and then had a mother-son decorating party. He is so very proud of his little tree!

I'm going to stay in *my* pj's tomorrow...

...and eat to my heart's content!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
