Happy Birthday Conner!

I have to say that if one wants to have an afternoon of fun- hang out with a group of kids! Conner turned 7 and a whole bunch of his friends helped him to celebrate with a lot of laughter and a lot more fun! There was so much energy in the room that I didn't know where to be at any given moment! I highly recommend My Gym if you are looking for a fun place to have a birthday party for your child that is sure to be a huge success- call Spring at My Gym (260-4968) Everything is planned out and they can even handle the food and cake for ya- doesn't get any easier than that Mom... Anyway, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Conner~ Have a wonderful year! And thanks for letting me hang out with you! ~S.

It was a pleasure working with your amazing family and we send you many blessings and much favor on your new life together! Shana it was so nice having met and worked with you as well. We look forward to meeting with you again! ~S.

Kris & Ken... A Maui Love Story

Words cannot begin to express everything I feel about this wedding. It was more than an honor to be part of all the events that tell the story of Kris and Ken. It was memories with friends, it was the witnessing of a truly new beginning for one of the dearest friends in my life- someone who if I had to choose only one person in life that deserved happiness would be Kris. She is not only an amazing person- she just has the ability to make you want to be more and better with your life. And not by the words of wisdom or advice, but because of her actions. She is honest and caring and giving and fun and so many other wonderful things that are sappy and girlie but wonderful just the same. And though I haven't known Ken as long as Kris, you would know him just the same because his heart is as open and accepting as hers. He is willing to tell you how much you mean to him- and he does it with a wonderful sincerity. Just seeing their faces and hearing their hearts at the wedding is knowing that they truly love each other with their whole selves and give everything they have to the other first. I love my career choice on any given day, but these moments are the ones that we come back and visit over and over. We really enjoyed making new friends and are so blessed by you. Many thanks to Willie for helping me in the sea of craziness that often takes place before, during and after the wedding.... He def captured many moments I couldn't and I appreciate your being there to help me.

We look forward to a one year anniversary trip next year! love to you both~ S.

First Date Photos....

So on Easter Sunday we went to Fort Clinch in Fernandina Beach, FL- (I will post more photos later.) but although it is completely shock and awe... I had to give Ayden a spat on his hiney because he was just completely out of control- I know it makes me the worst parent ever, but so be it.. I refuse to have that child that everyone can't stand to be around because they are just rude and obnoxious! Anyway- so after I gave him one spat- and it wasn't really on his butt because he covered it with his hands- I made him sit down and calm down before we proceeded to tour the rest of the buildings inside of the fort. While there I just couldn't pass up the photo op- yeah, yeah- I know I get the "Mom of the year Award" but honestly can you think of anyone more deserving??? So these are for his first date.... Maybe he won't whine so much to his future wife (Lily)....

Jeff & Megan... The Slide Show

You remember Jeff and Megan... One of my favorite sessions to date- so finally the slide show... I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! ~love ya! S.

Happy Easter...

Did you ever realize that people are a lot like Easter Eggs? Sounds strange, but as we were dying eggs this morning, they reminded me a lot about how we are as people... Some are more round, some longer. Some look perfect on the outside, but not quite right on the inside~ Some are cracked (me...) Some are more colorful than others- some shine more than others ~ and some just glitter! Some don't look like you first imagined and others turn out to be brighter. Some have variant layers of colors.. and the list could go on- but collectively, they are ALL beautiful in their own unique special way.

Happy Easter!

A Day with Molly...

Sometimes when life is life- you have to just stop. Stop answering the phone, stop worrying about the to-do list- just stop, roll down the windows of life ~ Laugh, listen and let go... even if only for an afternoon. Yesterday we did that- just for a little while we took a drive and enjoyed a beautiful day. On our journey we stopped at a little antique shop and found a few great things... I found a "chicken pot" that will be perfect for jambalaya and posing babies... (A really cool idea I am borrowing from Kelly Moore.) Anyway, take my advice and take a day for you. Find something you like doing that you don't get to do often enough- with a great friend you don't spend enough time with and relax. Who knows, you might find an adorable little old lady driving a Camaro~ That was worth the whole day! Thanks for spending the day with me Molly. ~S.

Shower of Love...

Tonight was Kassie's baby shower... This had to be one of the best showers I have ever attended. Amazing food, wonderful friends and a room full of womanly chatter! What could be better? We love you Kas and can't wait to meet your little guy! ~S.
