So we have been having a blast, we went to Coronado to pick up my brother in law, he is a Navy Seal and has been doing workups, I think that is what they call it on some remote island off of Coronado. So we were able to go on base and see all the seals get there gear off the truck. It really made me slow down and appreciate having Scott with me all the time and so many men and woman are deployed. Clay (my brother n law) will deploy in October. I hate the thought of him being in harms way. It is so nice to be able to see him now because we do not know when we will see him next.I have never really told him thank you for all he does for our country, I think I fear I will just ball up and cry like a big baby. But thank you Clay, and to all the others.

Spring is in the Air
I know it is freezing in Savannah or that is what I have heard. But before I left I noticed the pink flowers in between all of the dead trees. I love these trees, I have no idea the name of them but I wrote a poem about them in poetry class in college. So cheers to spring, it is my favorite time of year.

Rub a Dub Dub
I was in the kitchen and saw this beautiful light coming in. Liam had just woken up from a nap and I told Sophia to get him and lets put him in the sink. I remember a couple of things from college and one was something Craig Stevens said, he said that as a photographer we should be excited by light. I do not know why I remember that, but I remember thinking I really am going to be a photographer because I am always looking at the light and get excited by it. Here are a few of sweet Liam
California Dreaming
We flew to San Diego yesterday to visit our nephew Liam that we haven't seen in a year and half. He is the same age as alexa and we are thrilled at how great they are getting along. I have to say honestly that my child is the more stick your heals in the mud kind of girl and Liam is the sweetest little boy giving alexa a hug when she is in full fit mode. She is usually sweet but boy she knows how to let us know when she is not happy. So we left from Jacksonville and I saw just the day before of a family getting kicked off the plane because of there three year old. I had major anxiety about it being me next on the news and Savannah being Savannah everyone knowing. Luckily she was an angel. Better then I could have ever thought, I really even enjoyed it, we cuddled, read books. She always surprises me on what she knows. The weather here is great, we went to the beach today, walked around, hey I might even lose the last six pounds of baby weight if I keep this up.
so I moved in 97 to San Diego and did not like it. I was at that did not know what I wanted to do point. So I know this photo isn't pretty but it is kind of how I felt. It is nice though now to come back and appreciate the beauty of this place
on are way to the airport

Little Liam being a gentleman.

Sweet Olivia
Here Comes THe Bride, Then a Baby
Since I started doing weddings I have had quite a few brides come back after they have there little bean and let me photograph them again with baby. The two here were great brides and no surprise beautiful and great mamas . This is Dudley and Melinas baby Davis, if you do not have a great pediatrician Dr. Dudley is the best. When I did there wedding I was four months pregnant and found out what he did and knew he was the one for me. Him and his family are the nicest sweetest people I felt shameful for ever being ugly to someone. I can not imagine him ever getting angry or Melina. Anyhow I just love them. Here are a few from Davis he is a year!
Now I also was photographed John and Sues baby Sophia. They were married about three years ago at Dafuski Island. They had such a great wedding and there little girl is so pretty. I was so glad to finally meet her. Doesn't she look like a little doll?

Baby its cold outside
Finally able to experience winter this pass weekend in Denver. Snow and more snow and slush. I really never realized how unprepared I am for snow, I wear flipflops most of the year so my red backless flat shoes were not really snow worthy and I was teased for how pathetic I looked trying not to have soaking wet socks.
So I ate at this cute diner, I rarely take photos just because so I decided to this time. I used to do it so much more, and I had forgotten how much fun it is.
Me trying to decide what to eat.
So I was treated like a rock star this passed weekend. I did not think about diapers, sippies, bathtime. It was wonderful.
I had my hair done, a facial, a hotel room for two nights all by myself, what a treat. I also danced so much Saturday that I have been sore for two days now .Guess that shows how much I work out. The bride was a friend of mine and she was stunning. I felt so lucky to share this moment with there family they have been apart of my life for about ten years now.
you know how you just meet someone and you have such a great connection, this is how I feel about this family, I feel like I have known them all of my life.
Here are a few
So the wedding went smooth and was in a beautiful church in downtown Denver. Did I mention the snow already? Oh and also I thought I had to look good for this wedding so I wore boots, with really high heals, not suggested when you are working. I figured I was half working half having fun so I would be able to manage.
A photo of Alisa seeing her dad for the first time.
Eric the groom was really one of the nicest guys, and not bad to look at either. He is a Denver Fire Fighter and was so sweet, something that is always nice to see especially when he is marrying a friend.
congratulations Eric and Alisa, and thank you for letting be a part of your family.
all in a hard days work!
Being away though makes me really appreciate how lucky I am to have such a supportive husband and who takes care of our little alexa, I could not wait to see the both of them. Thank you Scotty!
