Balancing Act

It is just that, isn't it? An act.
I have pursued balance for much of my adult life and now I see why it has remained so illusive. I have been pursuing the wrong thing. Jami Nato wrote so eloquently about this very thing on her blog Hello from the Nato's that I would probably just quote her entirely if I were to broach the subject. Instead, I'll just let you read her words here. Enjoy.

My New Love

Sweet Baby Green. Oh, how I love you.

February to May in 5 min or Less!

5. We went to Disney & Universal Studios (Hogwarts) with Family and Friends:

 
It was Magical!

4. Cameron found out he was going to be a big brother:

He is SUPER excited :)

3. Lots of photographing: Seniors. Children. Babies. Brides.

2. Rearranged furniture and updated our fireplace in preparation for Baby Green:

This little guy was NOT much help!

1. We found out...

(My YoungLife girls helped me celebrate this one with a Pre-Prom brunch!) 

It has been a Busy and Fun 4 months and this doesn't even begin to scratch the surface! Now, we are winding down another school year and preparing for an equally busy summer!

Baby Emma - Shower Invite

It is official... I love twine.

PhotoLove

I am LOVING my new venture into Photography. It has been such a joy spending time with families and doing something that makes my heart smile. I wish I had discovered this love sooner in life!

I couldn't not share these next few smiles right now... 

How sweet are these faces?!? 

Just going through this family's images is making me smile; it was a really fun family session.

Haley and Kate just had me laughing the whole time!

3 Month Old Campbell!

So, I do realize I just posted Campbell's 1 week old photographs (summertime = less computer time.) Well, precious Campbell has grown so much! 

He is now 3 months old and has the most gorgeous blue eyes. I took these images today and I just couldn't wait to share!

He was SO sweet and snuggley!

Big brother, Bennett, had to get in on the action, too! After spending all that time inside watching lil' brother get his picture taken, we decided to head over to the park to play on the swings.

The swings are definitely Bennett's favorite!

Sweet Baby Campbell

I had the incredible privileged of photographing a one-week old recently. It was a pure joy. To be able to capture those sweet moments that the parents will cherish forever was an honor, indeed.

Meet Campbell.

... and his brother Bennett.

After our little photo session, I got to put together a sweet announcement for Campbell's arrival. I have a little thing for black & white (if you couldn't tell). I wanted to keep it simple & elegant with only a hint of the baby blue.

Sweet Monkey Baby

A new addition on the way (not my own) and how better than to represent her... a sweet Monkey Ballerina! I loved the idea and ran with it! I got to play on my wacom tablet, a fav of mine, and draw up a cute little image for the mom-to-be, Melissa Ann.

It's a Boy!

New Series of It's a Boy invitations. SO fun to design. :)
