The photographer got this image of my husband and I. I have to say this is one of my favorite photographs from the day.

I love you, Stacy!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Tonight I’m editing and listening to a new beautiful lullaby cd and I found this image. There is nothing more peaceful than holding a sleeping baby – or in this case, photographing one. It’s such a pure, relaxing, thankful experience.

My children (5 and almost 3) were running around crazy most of the day but tonight before bed we had some cuddle time beneath the quilts I made for them while I was pregnant with them. It’s not too late for those pure, relaxing, thankful moments.

It truly brings me joy to work as a photographer. When I was younger, I used to think it would be so amazing to be a florist. No matter the occasion people are always happy to receive flowers – whether a romantic vase of roses, a sweet and simple bouquet to celebrate the birth of a baby, or a beautiful peace lily to express condolences at a funeral. Florist I am not, but in many ways I think being a photographer serves the same purpose. Viewing photographs evokes so many emotions. Often times new moms tell me the sweet, simple images of their baby make them cry. Then a year later they tell me how they’ve looked through an album or book and they just can’t believe their baby was so tiny just 12 months ago and is now walking! I have the wonderful privilege of working with families over and over again as time passes and I get to celebrate their family growing older. It is truly an honor to document life this way.

Photographing a couple in love is such a treat. New love just radiates and it has a way of reminding me how in love I am with my husband and my family. For these couples, I hope these images always bring back memories of what it is like to be young and head over heels in love.

Family portraits are so timeless. I have photographs of my grandmother with her family when she was a teenager. I have photographs of my father as a toddler – and I know where my son gets some of his blond curly hair. After funerals my family has gathered around to go through boxes and drawers of photographs. We laugh and cry and reminisce as we look through a lifetime of memories. I encourage you to have a family portrait taken on a regular basis – leave these memories for the generations that come after you.

It is a blessing for me to do what I love while staying home with my beautiful children. I am thankful for my husband’s support and encouragement.

As you gather with your family this Christmas season please know I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be your photographer. May each of you have a very peaceful and blessed Christmas and a wonderful 2010.
