I {heart} Faces challenge

This will be my first time entering the I heart Faces challenge.
Last weekend i ran into these older photos of my sun and his grandpa and thought they were just perfect. Josh and grandpa didnt meet until he was one but their bond is one that cannot be broken, they adore each other and it just shines through the pics.



Head on over to I {heart} faces to check out the amazing collages

Spring has sprung

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

I am lucky enough to be one of the testers for Amy Beth Mcmaster's new set of actions and let's just say I am IN LOVE with them!

So Amazing...

I just cannot resist my amazing little boy.

His smile can brighten up my day in a heartbeat.

He has these pretty blue eyes that I could no longer live without.

And he holds my heart in his little hands

He is perfect in every sense If I had just one wish , i would wish for the world to realized how wonderful he is
To realize that he is no less than perfect

I thank God everyday for having him
I thank Him for giving me enough love to make up for others
I thank Him for everyday I am given
being his mother.

And everyday I pray for strength, patience and compassion.
I pray that nothing and no one will come in between our special bond.
I pray for peace of mind and heart.
I pray that jealousy and hurt will not change us.

A post for my amazing, wonderful and always perfect little boy

Nice weather in Wisconsin

Hard to believe it was 80 today here in Wisconsin. We spent most of the day outside, went for walks, park, blew giant bubbles, ran around like crazy, jumped over rocks... needless to say i am KNACKERED but we sure did have a blast. Just a quick share from today (I really have been in a b&w mood lately)

Spring is in the air...

And my 2 year old son Josh loves it! He's such a ham (sometimes lol)

Just a couple from today

Kylie is 7

and she is just so cute and funny. Just look at this smile:


Lights up a room for sure.

the {real} cake smash session

Little Christopher is turning one and I just can't believe it! Time sure does fly when you are having fun and the past year has flown by.
We had his cake smash session yesterday and let me tell you he had the time of his life with that little cake and some of it even went his mouth heheAnd just an extra because he is so darn cute

Cake Smash Practice

I have a cake smash session coming up and since i have never done one before i figured i had to do some practice so i know what i am doing when the day comes. My husband's birthday was 2 days ago, so i let Josh have some cake in front of the camera! He of course wasnt all that into touching the cake with his fingers, but gave me a few minutes of his time and i did get a few nice shots.
I cannot wait to do it for real :D

Perfect little model...

This little man is just the most perfect model! Not only is he absolutely adorable but he is also so content i just love shooting him!
sooooo super adorable right??

Today...

I got to shoot these awesome kiddos that i love like my own! I wish i had had more light but it was horribly overcast today!
Sadie just turned 9 and she is practically as tall as me! Isn't she beautiful?
Little miss cutie pie is Kylie, she is so funny!


And here's the cutest little baby EVER! This rocking chair was his grandpa's so i figured i would give it a vitage-y look! Action by AMP, check her out, she is awesome! http://amymcmasterphotography.blogspot.com/

In my Son's eyes...

In my son's eyes, I am a hero.
I am strong an' wise,
And I know no fear.
But the truth is plain to see:
He was sent to rescue me,
I see who I want to be, in my son's eyes.

In my son's eyes, everyone is equal,
Darkness turns to light,
And the world is at peace.
This miracle God gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak.
I find reason to believe, in my son's eyes.

And when he wraps his hand around my finger,
Oh, it puts a smile in my heart.
Everything becomes a little clearer.
I realize what life is all about.
It's hanging on when your heart has had enough;
It's giving more when you feel like giving up.
I've seen the light: it's in my son's eyes.

In my son's eyes, I can see the future.
A reflection of who I am,
And what will be.
And though he'll grow and, some day, leave:
Maybe raise a family,
When I'm gone, I hope you'll see,
How happy he made me,
For I'll be there, in my son's eyes.

Her daddy's girl and her mama's world

and her Godmama's peanut :D Jo was such a sport, she let me take a few pics of her ADORABLE baby belly! Miss Sadie is however already giving her Godmama a hard time and did not let me feel her kick at all!
We already miss you Jo! i REALLY hope you like these :)
