I got together with a good friend of mine today so I could take pictures of her second child – a sweet baby girl. We thought it would be nice to let our children play together while I take pictures of the baby – not such a great plan. My daughter is 2 1/2 and her son is almost three and it was pretty, how shall I say it, exciting??? So, she tried to keep the kids entertained (and unharmed) while I followed the littlest one around snapping photos. Miss “L” just began to sit up a few weeks ago and she’s already crawling and pulling up on furniture – unbelievable!

Take a look at this little angel – so happy and content – even through costume changes and screaming toddlers all around her (literally).

This was the view I got the most…..

What is going through her head right now??? That perplexing gaze….

At this point I gave up on trying to keep her in any one spot and just started following her all around my house while she explored.

Like the hat??? Old Navy bargain – so cute!

By the end – this was the only look she was giving me – as if to say: Are you done YET???

I know I have been a terrible blogger as of late. Just catching up on galleries, doing picture orders and finding NEW stuff to offer my clients.

Check these out! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! They will make gorgeous canvas prints – especially if you group them together on the wall. I have lots more color/styles too. They’re just so unique and fun!

I have also been working on a custom framing product to offer – more on that if things work out.

Enjoy….

A great day for a great man (and many other great men out there!). We had a wonderful family weekend, complete with a trip to Ikea, homemade waffles and two trips to the pool! I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life – husband, friend, partner, father – and so much more. Since my father did not play a role in my life growing up I really treasure these times and I’m in awe of the amazing father/daughter relationship between Kylie & Daddy. Her eyes light up when he comes in the room – she’s such a daddy’s girl – tools and all!!! He was fixing a toy for her today and he said he needed a screwdriver – so she promptly went to her “tool puzzle” and came back with a screwdriver for him. It was just the sweetest thing ever!

So, here are a few of my favorite pics to celebrate Daddy and Daughter today (don’t expect anything fancy – they’re just snapshots). Happy Father’s Day to all the Daddy’s out there – and to all the Mommys that are doing the job of both. You are appreciated!

Proud papa – when Kylie was just a couple months old.

This has to be one of my FAVORITE pictures. This was the first time she ever laughed – for Daddy of course. It was that deep gut laugh that just makes you laugh out loud with her.

Father’s Day last year…

And today – these are the big cheesy grins I usually get. Don’t you love the pink bikini???

And here’s the GREAT group of guys we hung out with today at the pool. I thought to myself – “this is the life”. Great friends, great food – and so many great memories.

It was a scorcher on Sunday – but we pressed on with our photo session anyway! We had a fun time despite the heat. These lovely people live right across the street from me. Mom is a fabulous seamstress, oldest sister just graduated from Oglethorpe University, middle brother is going to be an architect and the “baby” of the family is very into drama and the arts.

This family has been through a tragedy that no family should have to endure – the loss of a husband and father. These are their first family photos since he passed, and I only hope that I was able to capture the love, strength and courage that I see in each of them. They are my neighbors, but I consider them my friends.

That being said – first up – a collage that I made. You can click on it to see it bigger.

Beautiful mom!

Mom requested this picture and the “kids” obliged!

I had to include this one, since she just graduated from the very place we were taking the pictures. Click on it to see it bigger.

And finally, one of my favorites. The sun was going down and they were relaxing under the trees.

Thanks for letting me be a part of this special day!

Last Sunday afternoon we were at Centennial Olympic Park for the CCFA Take Steps walk for a cure to Crohn’s & Colitis. Many of you have already heard about this (from my previous posts) so I wanted to share a few pictures. We exceeded our goal of $5,000 and raised a total of $5,500 so far – and the donations keep coming in. Here’s our web page if you want to check it out: CURE CROHNS

I really can’t put into words how appreciative we are to the many people that have supported us in this effort. The generosity of our friends, family and even strangers, has been unbelievable. THANK YOU to each and every person who participated in our event. Together we made a difference!

So, here are some pictures of the “James Gang” on our special day.

First up – the K-Bear playing in the fountains. She has absolutely no fear of water which is great and scary at the same time!

The youngest “walkers” in our clan.

The whole group – wearing the silly T-shirts I had made. What great sports they are!

And the family – even Grampa flew in to celebrate the day with us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
