Baby of MIne...

I love this little man so much. He makes my heart melt! I cannot believe he is turning 10 months old next week... This is a hat from Bali and it looks so adorable with him and his giraffe, Gerry...a gift from his cousins Savannah, McKinley, Will, and Alyssa the day he was born...

Here we are together. I am so blessed to have such a great little man :)

My husband took this one. I am not a fan of photos of me, but, I like this one!

My serious-faced mini man,lol. He wasn't feeling much like smiling this day but gosh he's a doll...

There is nothing like having a baby. It changed my life, for sure. I am so blessed to have this role, as a mother, as God and everyone who knows me knew how hard it was to get pregnant. I am blessed and such a believer that God has a plan for everyone. I may not have any more children but if I do, it will be another sweet blessing. Until then, I will love my little Aiden with the love I am full of and live my life to be the best mother ever.

Aiden, I love you, my sweet honey bun :)

Amy.....

Amy is an old friend of mine from high school and with the help of Facebook and running into eachother from time to time in our small town, we were able to stay in touch. I was honored when she asked me to shoot a few of her and her beautiful children for winter photos and the day was cold and snowy! These kids were troopers and wonderfully! Have a look....

Family

Each year, I get to shoot family photos for my brother and his family...which is a BIG family. They are so much fun and my nieces and nephews are hilarious! What's even more fun? To see their Christmas Cards each year with the best/funniest/sweetest shots of them.

My brother and I decided to get a portrait taken of our children (his and his wife's four and my one) and enlarge it in a canvas for our mother for Christmas. Mom is always helping all she can with our children, especially mine as she and my dad watch Aiden every day for at least 3 hours at a time while Wayan and I are at work. I couldn't do it without her, for sure.

Anyhow, this year, the weather did not play well in our favor (snow and frigid cold) and we had to improvise in my house...on my den floor with the light shining in from the sliding door (with help of speedlight to bounce light off ceiling). Here are some of my favorites...

here's me, Wayan and Aiden....
