The Harris Family

This weekend I had the honor of shooting Christmas pictures for my friend Amy and her beautiful family. The Hewlett's and the Harris' go back awhile, way before we were chasing around toddlers together. And with the arrival of their second son, Avery, Christmas was the perfect time to catch up on some pictures.

Final Christmas Card!

Oh Blog, I miss you...

I know I need to blog more. And now that I've found a couple blogs that I love to read daily, It's given me motivation to do it again.

So i will.

Just not today ;-)

We are leaving for PA in... 6.5 hours and I need to pack, clean, and oh yeah, leave work at some point.

But in the mean time... Happy Thanksgiving, from me to you.

Oh... what am I thankful for?

These two men, and the One who gave them life.

Christmas Cards!

Well, it's been a little while since I posted, and I'm going to try and blog more often, but here's a little blog about Christmas Cards!

Obviously, anyone who knows me or gets cards from me knows that I only use photo cards for my Christmas cards. I've even used them for Halloween, and I used one for Jack's first birthday party invitation this year. Last year I even bought my Grandma a Photo Mug for her kitchen.

So, when I saw on Amber's blog that Shutterfly (the site where i purchase all my cards) was doing a promotion for bloggers (you get 50 free cards when you blog about their site and their cards), you know I'm in! I was planning on using them anyway for this year's Christmas card so I could use my favorite photo of Jack from this year, so this is a perfect way to save some money! If you've never done one, take a look at their Christmas Card selection - they have a TON! And I love that they include cards that really speak to the real reason for Christmas - the birth of our savior!

So thanks Shutterfly! If you blog and want to sign up, go here:

My baby is one!!!

Happy 1st Birthday to my sweet boy :-) . We celebrated with friends and family and snuck in a couple mommy/baby moments too :-) I wasn't as emotional as I thought I'd be, but mostly happy at the thought that I haven't completely messed up his life in one year - ha!

Oh, how I love him.

I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot a couple portraits for my good friends Dave and Gina this weekend. It was my first time on the Belmont Abbey campus - and wow, is it beautiful!

And on the subject of beautiful, Gina... is.

(Please excuse the fuziness of a couple of these, I still haven't figured out how to blow them up on here and keep the clarity of them!)

Easter Happiness

This weekend we were able to take a 3-day weekend and spend it all doing our favorite things... breakfasts together... walks in the neighborhood...a little shopping (I'm not quite sure Matt or Jack would agree that's a favorite thing)... and just generally not caring about anything but squeezing in each second of time we have with each other.

And then add Easter on top of that, and it's just icing on the cake.

My little Republican:




Add in sunshine, blue sky and my family, it was one those perfect days.
