Sigh. It’s all over. There’s half deflated balloons all over my house. My trashcans are filled to the max with packaging and paper. I have cake crumbs in every crevice of my dining room and I’m pretty sure my thumb is permanently going to be pink from the cookie icing. But, it was all worth it. She is now 3, officially (today) and we are looking forward to every moment of joy this year brings.

Happy Birthday Sierra Grace. We love you.

This is Sierra {otherwise known as Cici}, she turns 3 on Monday. I’m fighting back tears as I type that. She is tiny, cute as a button, feisty, nosey, mischievous, bossy, adorable, loving, evil {oh yes}, but sweet too. She keeps us laughing and crying at the same time. Don’t let her tiny little self fool you ;)

Dear family, friends & clients . . .

Thank you for a beautiful year. It has been simply amazing and one of the best yet. To my family, thank you for being so darn supportive ;) To my children, thank you for being my inspiration, I love you both ♥ To my husband, thank you for being here, thank you for listening, thank you for the compliments and thank you for being my #1 :) To my friends, thank you for believing in me and thank you for pushing me :D To my clients, thank you for being Y.O.U! You are all beautiful inside and out. I would not be where I am right now without all of you. After I leave every.single.session I smile. When I edit each and every photo, I laugh and when I see your photographs in print right before my eyes, I tear up. To say this job is perfect is such an understatement. To me, this isn’t a job, it is my life. So thank all of you for a wondrous 2009 and here’s to 2010!

Oh yeah. And there’s something else I want to say. My children say it best so here’s a photo . . . or two :)

That is correct :) We are expecting #3! I am due in mid July and I will be taking all of July and all of August off for maternity leave. I will be taking limited sessions in September and you may book starting in January!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I adore every.single.thing about her ♥

How precious are they??! I adore every second of their sweetness ♥ Their mean-streak, not so much!

I forgot about this beach (ok it’s at a lake!) until just recently! Can’t wait to use it for some client shots :)
