    Hi Shell!

    I actually watched this video before this contest and LOVED it! The whole thing is just so beautiful and I am so happy that things have worked out for you on the east coast. It’s no wonder – you are such a talented photographer! Baby # 2 is due in about 3 weeks – next time you are in Cali I would love to have you take some photographs of our growing family!
    Oh yeah – I posted your link on my facebook page :)

Mother’s Day Challenge~ Pics with my kids!

Posted in Carlsbad and Southern California lifestyle Photographer

I hope you mom’s had a great Mother’s Day! If you read my last post you may remember I was sad to realize I actually don’t have many photos of me with my kids! I created a quick Mother’s Day Challenge to get myself to stop making excuses and get in front of the camera…

    “Scrapes” instead of crepes…love it….write it down so you don’t forget! I was thinking the other day when watching my dog trot with endless stamina how my youngest used to call it “trouting” as in “the horse is trouting”.
    Love your bed, and the in bed cuddles are so special…I miss them, but I did manage to get a quick hug yesterday from my 17 year old.ReplyCancel
