Sick in Bed

I have had at least one person in my house sick at some point, in the last 2 weeks.  It is no fun being sick while everyone else is playing and feeling good.  Just hoping that this bug will finally leave our house.   No more sick kids or spouses in bed....PLEASE!

Jumping on the bed

Yes, I allow my kids to jump on the bed and what is more, I allow them to jump on my bed.  It seems as if it is the simplest things that can make them happy and if jumping on my bed is one of them, I am all for it.  My little guy has been under the weather for the past couple of days and today he finally started to feel better.  As a mother it is so sad to see your child sick in anyway, so when he was feeling better there are not many things that make him happier.  So I told him to go for it...Oh, I love this little monkey!

crazy life

This is sometimes how I feel like my life is....chaotic.  We had a lot of fun yesterday doing this photo with the kids.  They actually asked me if they could throw flour around more often.  I will have to think about that one.  I guess I will just have to find another photo opt to allow it. 

February with April

I have been so lucky to shoot with April again.  It feels really good to go out and push myself.  I am not sure I do it as much as I need to.  We went out yesterday to shoot landscapes.  I am not a landscape photographer and I admire those who are.  It really was out of my comfort zone, but I believe being out of your comfort zone makes you strive to be better in whatever you do.  Well, here are a few of my favorites from our outing.

Snow White Haunted

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,

Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;--Edgar Allan Poe

She's beautiful. Just like a... angel! -Bashful

We have been planning this shoot for a year now and have finally gotten together.  I could not have done this shoot without the talented Emily Bytheway.  We started off doing a little remake of Snow White and then went to the the ghost haunted shoot.  It was so much fun. Here is a quick preview of our little shoot today.

Once again I had the amazing opportunity to work with some amazing people. Could not have done this shoot without the Models; Bre and Laurien and of course this could not of happened with out the makeup artist Samiee. Thanks you guys for being so amazing!

Sweethearts

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

― Dr. Seuss

There is no better quote then this to describe teenage life.  You are You. 
I had the chance to do some photos for some beautiful and handsome teenagers before their Sweetheart dance, this Saturday.  Their individuality, their energy, their spontaneity, it is what makes life worth living.  It is always fun to capture such moments in life.
