Happy Birthday Princess M!

August 26, 2008

Princess M turned the big 1-oh this month!  And they came out the way from CA just so I could take her picture (okay, so her family actually lives out here and maybe, just maybe, they came out to with celebrate them) but she was just as sweet and cute as can be!

Say what?

This sitting was so much fun.  Lisa and her husband have been married for a year and half now and this is their first deployment together.  Lisa was super cute and tons of fun to work with – the best part?  Her husband doesn’t know he has an album coming!

Miss G. is turning the big 2! this week.  She is a beautiful little girl and this setting at sunset was perfect.  

Could they be any cuter?

I had the pleasure of photographing Allison (also my professional framer!) and her husband Adam.  

Unfortunately this ended up being a “mini” sitting because we got rained on big time (look at the bench!) but we had a great time and they were great sports! 

In 2006 I had the honor of photographing a little boy named Reece.

Reece is an adorable little boy with an infectious smile.  Reece is also living with SMA (or Spinal Muscular Atrophy).  

Spinal muscular Atrophy is a motor neuron disease affecting the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as holding your head up, crawling, walking swallowing, neck control and even BREATHING.  Though it is a rare genetic disorder, 1 in 40 people are genetic carriers.  This condition is the #1 genetic  killer of babies under the age of 2 years old.  SMA CAN QUICKLY PARALYZE A CHILD FROM HEAD TO TOE. There is no CURE!

Reece has been very sick lately and future is unknown at this point.  The Rubinos are an amazing family with amazing faith.  I continue to pray for them everyday and invite you to learn more about them:

So yes, I am behind on posting teasers and I’m behind on getting photos done, but today it is not about the photographs, today I sit in silent reflection and prayer for a family that needs it.

The skies sure did threaten Blake and my sitting today but the rain held off and we were able to get some great photographs in!  

do not disturb

Just like me this Mommy has two little boys and just like me she was blessed with a little girl this year.

It was a pleasure to meet and photograph Miss L! 

Bless my friend’s heart she has three little boys, two of whom are less than a year a part in age.  

 

This is Mr. R – the youngest, he is so very sweet:

And this is the middle brother, Mr. L – he will be 2 at the end of the month – I love his spunk, I love his curls!
