This is Brian's Grill

To the right you will find Brian's Grill, a magnificent silver spectrum of grilling love.  We used it a lot last year but have not used it much this year. Now that the weather is nice I was thinking it would be time to start grilling.

Yesterday husband informed me that there was a bird in the grill.  Since he told me this late at night and right before my passing out time, I thought he meant just found one hanging out... I didn't understand what he meant until I checked today.

A sweet, loving black bird made a home for herself and her 4 babies within the grill.  Every time our back door opens she flies out the back, ever pushing the comments from my friend Jorie and my Mother that we really should get a cover.

My favorite part is how the little bird has CRAMMED it all to the one side so when they are born we will have to be super careful because they will fall right out. They are on the far right corner toward the front.  I think it is charming and very funny that (1) we were so busy with our lives that we didn't even notice the f;urry of work going on to fill the grill with the dead grass and twigs and (2) the commitment it must have taken because my dogs are fast and they have been trying to catch these birds for awhile now without success.

 

So I guess we won't be grilling for a while.

Hope all are having a happy day.

Somthing Cool Happened on the Way to the Mailbox!

So not too long ago, Studio Photography magazine emailed and asked if I would like to  write about my canvases in their cool magazine.  A little bird had told them how much my customers LOVE THEM!  So of course I was like "SURE! I am so on this like glitter on glue!"

They asked for a ton of images, which I wasn't expecting, oddly enough, and was totally thrilled when I got the call from my fellow photographer friends that they had seen me published!!!

I wanted to share this with everyone because it is so rockin' COOL!

Hope the month of April is treating you right!!!

5 Little Monkeys!

Mr. Kendall has more charm and charisma in one little finger than most adults have in their entire bodies.

From the moment he was carried in the door, he could light up the room with his smile or be TOTALLY serious and let you know he was in charge.

Kendall and his mom are into to MONKEYS (which you might get from looking at this adorable image of him).

Once he was there wearing his daddy's hat, he totally just hung out and was cool like a monkey!

Thanks for visiting today and I will see you soon.

It's the little things that can make you happy!

Hannah and her brother...what a hoot the two of them are. 

Hannah is a FASHION DIVA living the well-dressed Little Miss life.  She had the best outfits and we both just loved her ballerina outfit.  Hannah likes to be in control of the situation, so there was so MAJOR posing going on.  We had to talk about stinky feet and picking noses to get laughs - it was well  worth it.

Hannah's brother Harrison is a sweetie.  I am pretty sure I lost a few calories today acting like a duck or acting like a dog panting at him.  That was the only way I could get a reaction out of him.  He wasn't feeling so hot this morning when he woke up so getting a smile like this one was GREAT!

Enjoy your day and remember to smile! It increases your face value!

Age

Have you ever met someone that just gets more and more interesting with age?

I met Isabella when she was just a few weeks old.  Her hair was red then and I knew that she was going to be this FAB kid that was into anything.  I love that we have this relationship...that she knows who I am and she knows what I do but, lady, you're gonna have to work for it.

Isabella's mom is one cool cat. She is so in tune with how a session needs to go; she hangs back and lets it unfold.  I am happy she is not a stresser (and if she is, she is super good at hiding it because I would never know during a session).

Several times during the session I had to go to the bribes that Mom had brought, which I might add were mighty tasty!  The reason for the bribe? Well, there is just to much to look at in this wide world and I could feel that she had places to go and people to see. All I wanted was a few minutes of her time, so I layed my reflector on the ground: one, to give her spot to concentrate on and two, to get some light back up under her face. It was kinda gloomy yesterday.  We sat down in front of that old, white, HUGE tree at the botanical gardens and went to town talking about candy - how I was gonna eat it and how she was gonna get it.  I loved that her boyfriend is her Mommy and that she is a big girl and all this came out as she pined for the candy:)

But she stopped to think for one minute and BAM! I love this image.

I hope everyone stayed safe yesterday and had a candy-filled day...

What a Great Day It Will Be!

This is Shelby.  She is an excellent example of a happy, happy child. 

Miss Shelby brought her Mommy in for pictures today.  She is going to be a new big sister.  We wanted to get in some Mommy and me pictures before the little one makes an appearance.

Shelby was delightful and I can't wait to see them again.

Caught the Tail End

...of a Diane Sawyer interview last night.  The subject was Randy Pausch.

I find myself thinking I'm living life a lot, but complaining about things that REALLY don't matter.  Watching Randy share his family and what is happening to him was amazing.  He is not a complainer...he is a Tigger, living life no matter how short it will be.

If you missed it and you have 12 minutes today, I urge you to watch it!
