You can't get me clouds

It rained here for 2 days straight- the most perfect, beautiful rain you could imagine. It was heavenly and MUCH needed. The grass is green, the weather? PERFECT. It was 71* today. We played outside, took some pictures, and just enjoyed the time- no over heating, sweat, or sunburn.

Then I came inside. I opened my photoshop-- it doesn't work. Comes up with some box about my serial number being invalid. I have never had the issue in the past. Customer service? Sucks. All they had to say was "Sorry". Jerks.

Something Special

There is something special between a mother and son. I didn't understand it until I had my own- but the relationship is so special. It is beyond words can describe.
Our daughters own a special place in our hearts and connect with us in a different way. No less special- just different.
I have been blessed to have that relationship- and to be able to record it in others. My heart warms to see other people love on their kids- especially friends.

Peek a boo!

She and I went to school together from 2nd grade all the way through high school. Her baby boy is about to be 2 and they just love each other. We had a playdate recently, and I was lucky enough to capture this.

I hope Bubbles and I can be as close as these 2 are. I love how he thinks that she is the whole world- a super hero. In differnet ways then daddy.

Makes my heart melt a little.

Newborns are hard!

My dear friend from high school had a baby 2 weeks ago, and since has been begging me to take new baby's pictures. I warned her that they probably won't be good. She didn't care. She is a single first time mommy and I want to help her any way I can. I was right- they aren't very good- but I got to snuggle a new baby for a few hours, so I won't complain!

Kudos to you photographer types who do newborns. It is an art and a good test of your timing and patience. I have mucho respect for you and your craft.

Anyhow, meet new baby- who was named after none other than Cookies! What a special honor for a 2 year old.
