I will be joining Stacey & Ron to capture their wedding this upcoming April 2010 in Cuba! I love to travel, and capturing a wedding while doing that is something of a dream for me. I have 3 weddings booked over the 2 weeks I will be in Varadero, Cuba. It may surprise you at how inexpensive it may be for you to bring me along to capture your special day, with all the excitement of an old friend!













Don't forget that the "Cans for Comment" is almost done!!! Comment on this blog entry and any others on my blog and I will donate 1 can of food for every comment! It is the easiest way for you to give this holiday season...and the giving will continue all year to people who need our help!

Into this world, the most beautiful sweet little darling that any mother and father could ask for. This little darling stole their hearts and mine as well. Those beautiful blue eyes were peering into this world, hoping for all the best for her and everyone around her.
Ten fingers, Ten toes
She's laughter and teardrops
So small and brand new
And amazingly angelic
She's sent to bless you
She's one special Baby
The best of life's treasure
And will grant and bless you
Many hours of great pleasure.
Take a sprinkling of fairy dust,
An angel's single feather,
Also a dash of love and care,
Then mix them both together.
Add a sentiment or two,
A thoughtful wish or line,
A touch of stardust, a sunshine ray...
It's a recipe, for a Baby Girl truly fine.








You are amazing and this baby is simply precious.

We had this fun Empower the Dress session a few years after they have been married! Jana of course was as beautiful as I am sure she was on her wedding day! Besides the fact that they are sweet, friendly, cute, fun, awesome..and a million other amazing characteristics! Jana & Steven were willing to do anything, even lay in the middle of the road! No wonder I fell in love! No wonder I love my job!
Now I just found out that it is Steven's birthday today!!! So you must wish him a Happy Birthday in the comments! Plus a "Comment for a Can" wouldn't hurt anyways! Happy Birthday Steven! I hope you have an amazing day with Jana and the family!

"Little Cooper is our little miracle" Dawn had mentioned to me. I thought I would share this session with you to spread some joy for this holiday season. Miracles are all around us especially this time of year. They happen every day in peoples lives, it is up to us to acknowledge and accept them as miracles. Just looking at the smile on Dawn & Robbie's face's when they introduced me to their little miracle, it was sheer joy and pride!
"Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle."

(12.09.09)I am Cooper's great Aunt, but I have yet to meet him, we left for the winter just after he was born, so to see these pictures of this beautiful baby is a great joy for us. He will bring great joy to his parents this season and many more to come, thanks.
