be glad of life

A friend just recently gave this to me and I thought I would share.........

be glad of life
becuase it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars; to be satisfied with your possessions; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbors except his KINDNESS OF HEART AND GENTLENESS OF MANNERS; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends...and to spend as much time as you can, with body and spirit. these are little guidposts on the footpath to peace.
(henry van dyke)

SO just a thought for the day. Sometimes we need to be reminded to slow down and enjoy the blessings God has given us, not worry about what we dont have and what we think we need.


I will have new pics to post later :) Go out and enjoy this beautiful day!

Meet the very special Miss Emma Rose

This is my inspiration for starting the "All of Gods Children" program...this sweet lil angel has been through more surgeries and struggles then most adults could ever imagine! She has Vacterl Associtaion. You can see her story here http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/emmarosezook. Her aunt is a dear friend of mine and I am honored to capture this sweet lil bug! She is getting ready to celebrate her 2nd birthday and loves playing dress up and wearing beads and sunglasses! Here are just two of her and I will share more soon.


I told you she was a cutie pie!!!

sweet sweet brothers...

I had to share more of Aimees sweet lil ones. I just loooove these in the bed. The boys were so cute and were counting babys fingers and toes, looking at her belly button. Then mom was playing peek a boo behind the footboard to make them smile. Man the things we do for great portraits...hey I think it was way worth it!

Update...on poppaw

Surgery went great and he is at home doing awesome. He is such a tough old man! Again, thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. He will do regular check ups to keep tabs on the cancer, now we can only pray for this to be healed and to not grow anymore.
Thank you!

Snow pictures...

Finally got the pictures to load! I am glad we had this one day of fun in the snow...but man I am sooooooo ready to be outside in the warm sun! I defiantly have Spring Fever!

I hope all of you Nashvillians had soooo much fun in the snow! I was happy to get one great snow this year. The night before we played board games and watched out the window waiting for it. I was glad the kids did not get disappointed this time! It was a perfect night. Of course the kids were up at 6am ready to play...they did and i slept :) I have some beautiful pics to show you but my blog wont let me upload anymore right now??? I will work on that! This first picture is so peaceful to me. One of my neighbors had planted this baby christmas tree by the creek and I just couldnt resist to capture this scene. Isnt is just perfect?


Ok I will post more snow pics later...................

I thought I would throw one more special at you this month...man Im lovin my bloggers this month.........

I have just a few more openings left in March~mainly during weekdays~ I will offer a two for one deal for anyone that books this week for the rest of March. You and a friend can "share" a session for the price of one session. So each of you will receive about half of the time. I have had requests like this before and always say ~no sorry~ so bloggers feel special~
So you have until Friday night at midnight to book a session anytime in March for this special.

The day is near..

So many of you have called and emailed me about my poppaw, thank you so much. It is sooo nice to know that people are praying and just care! Tomorrow he will have the radiation seeds inserted into the prostate. They say its a pretty easy procedure and blah blah...ya know when anyone you love is having a "procedure" is it easy? I dont think so. So anyway, it is tomorrow. I am sick that Im not going to be there but my mom will be so that is a blessing. I ask for prayers that God puts his hands on him and heals him, He comforts my mom and mommaw during the procedure and that He gives the Dr.'s the knowledge to make this work!!!
Thank you again for being such great peeps!
