Hope for the Future...

A boy is Truth with dirt on its face,

Beauty with a cut on its finger,

Wisdom with bubbly gum in its hair,

and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.

~Unknown

The best thing about my job is witnessing the innocence and hope in the eyes of little ones!  

A few months ago I was able to meet this little man and his sister.  I worked with hay.LO Photography to capture the little princess turning three.  This week we were blessed to see their smiling faces again for Little T's six month session!  

Thank you Mom and Dad for allowing us to capture these special moments for your family!   

And a huge thank you for your service and sacrifices as a military family!

Beauty from Within

I remember the first time I photographed the beautiful Christina at a high school prom.  She stood out from all of the other dolled up Juniors and Seniors because of her beautiful personality.  I was honored to capture her radiating smile once again on a snowing spring day!  

“The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows.” 

― Audrey Hepburn

  

Christina, You are truly beautiful from the inside out and don't let life take that away from you!  

Dandelion Folklore

Spring is here!

 

And those pesky little yellow sundrops

will soon be scattered throughout the grass.

 

But I don't mind

because folklore has it that

when you blow away the

 seeds of a dandelion,

 

 

 

 

your thoughts and dreams are carried

to your friends and loved ones,

 

and that seed will be faithful to

convey your message.

 

~~~

 

So,

dear friends and family,

I'm sending a virtual dandelion seed your way

wishing for you a Spectacular Spring

filled with Marvelous Memory-making

occasions...

 

 even memories as simple as scattering

seeds to the wind!

 

My "Thousand Words"

 

 

 

There are times when

written words

are not needed...

 

 

...this is such a time!

 

 

Here are my "thousand words"...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Years Gone By....Till Now

I have a history with

this beautiful young woman

 

 

 

in fact,

we probably met when

she was about this age...

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are practically

 no childhood memories

I can think back on that Julie and her 4 siblings,

and me and my 3 siblings do not share.

 

Her family was a BIG part of my life...

 

...as they continue to be

 to this day!

 

 

 

 

So, when I was back in North Florida,

I jumped at the chance

to capture this special time in her life

 

 

 

with her growing family,

 

 

 

 

and to have a chance to get

better acquainted with her little boy

 

 

who has sparked so many memories

from years gone by!

 

 

 

Julie & Steven,

 

 

 

you are blessed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I'm blessed

 to have you as a part of my life

all of these years!

 

 



Old Stuff Day

Let's celebrate!

 

March 2

is

 Old Stuff Day!

 

And amongst my possessions

of "old stuff",

there is nothing more I

want to celebrate today than my

collection of cameras.

 

My treasures...

 

Starting with my Minolta

that got me hooked on

photography in
my high school years!

 

 

 

 

 

I was always tempted to

sell the camera I was

currently using

in order to upgrade to my

next camera.

 

But I was never able to do that.

 

Treasures

 are hard to part with!



  

 

 

 

And they do make a lovely

picture collage!
