So stay tuned! In the meantime, here are a few pics of a BIG milestone we celebrated recently. Enjoy!

 

Our FIRST visit from the tooth fairy!

LOL! Whatever dad does, he wants to do too. And that includes shaving. LOL! He just stands there in amazement watching as his dad shaves. So you can imagine how thrilled he was for a lesson in the art of shaving. (Oh and before anyone calls Child Protection Services, please note, THERE IS NO RAZOR BLADE IN MY HUSBANDS RAZOR!)

Can you believe we are already half way through January? It’s crazy, right? Anyway, I am busy here doing lots of behind the scenes work and will be sharing some exciting things in the coming weeks. In the mean time, I wanted to share a few pics of my daughter that I took over our holiday vacation. She just loves fairies, princesses and anything pink. Can you tell? LOL! Oh and she loves having her picture taken so when I asked her to go out and shoot a few new pictures she was more than happy to oblige. Here are a few of my faves. Enjoy!

Well, we are in the final stretch with only 12 days til Christmas, things have been crazy around here. Sorry I’ve not been the best at blogging these past few weeks. Anyway, here is a very over due Mine on Monday of my oldest going to her second father daughter dance. Enjoy!

Despite the rain, we still managed to have a good one. The kids carved pumpkins and we made a pumpkin cake, it was fun. Speaking of rain, last week we had a day full of rain that ended in the most breathtaking rainbows I’ve seen in awhile. At one point there were even two rainbows! So we headed outside to play in the rain and of course take pictures! Cause you know I never need a real excuse to drag out my camera! ;) Anyway, I got some pretty shots of the rainbow but more importantly some great shots of my kids just being kids. You know, the kind of images that just make your heart fill up with love to the point it feels like it might just burst! Yeah, those kind of pictures. So I of course had to share them with you all. And in true Beth fashion, I googled rainbow quotes because I love a good quote and I couldn’t believe the amazingly perfect one I found! I will definitely be making this into a HUGE canvas for my office, as a permanent reminder. Hope you enjoy it as much as me!

 

and here are the beautiful colors in my rainbow….

I realize I sound like a broken record here but I seriously don’t know where the time goes! Hours turn to days which quickly turn to weeks and then months. It’s almost October and I swear it was just June! My kids are growing up so fast and seem to change everyday. And speaking of changing, we lost our cat suddenly on Friday to a blood clot. It’s crazy how our lives have changed. I had no idea that that little fur ball had become such a big part of our family. She will definitely be missed! R.I.P. Isa! On that note, here are a few pics of my kids and an older one of Isa I dug up. Have a great day and enjoy every minute!

Hope you enjoyed the gorgeous weather outside this weekend. This is, without a doubt, my absolute favorite time of the year. Have a mentioned that? ;) Well, it’s been awhile since my last Mine on Monday, so I figured I’d post a few pics to share with you all. Allie, my youngest daughter, just loves photo shoots but with one condition, she must get a new outfit to wear. As much as I LOVE her willingness to participate, it is quite the expensive endeavor. So last week I got a bit crafty and turned my blouse into a dress. Well, it worked, she was smitten! She loved modeling it and especially watching it twirl! Score, now I think I’ll be searching for old blouses. LOL! Anyway, here are a few of the pics I got. Enjoy!

Man, what a yucky day and it’s looking like a pretty soggy week ahead of us. I hope that I am able to still squeeze in all my sessions. (***fingers crossed***)

Now onto the task at hand, Mine on Monday. Last week I took my kids out for a quick little end of summer shoot in our backyard. Nothing fancy, just hoping to capture a few images of them before they are off to school in a couple of weeks. So a few bribes and about a half an hour later this is what I got. (Actually not too bad, considering nothing was planned.) Enjoy!

P.S. Just a reminder the Wall Display Contest ends on Thursday. So get those entries in soon!

 

Love this image, it’s so peaceful and sweet. It’s just very, her, right now.

My little man is not a big fan of the camera these days, but that just makes me love these pics even more.

My little drama queen! These capture her dramatic spirit very well.

And one more of Emma, couldn’t resist sharing this one too!

“You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she’d want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

Poem by ~David Harkins

This weekend our family lost a very special lady. Just wanted to share a few images of our Gram, may she rest in peace.

One from 2009


And these last few images are most recent, only a few weeks old.

Man, is it ever hot, huh? Hope you all have somewhere cool to hang out today. I have the fan blasting in my office and a large ice tea sitting on my desk so I should be all set for a bit. LOL! Anyway, figured I’d blog a few more pics from our vacation to Maine. Keep in mind these are all snapshots taken with my Blackberry camera phone. I decided when I was on vacation, that I was really going to be on vacation. I wasn’t toting my BIG camera everywhere. (It was kinda nice not to have big thing that in tow all the time. But I will confess, I did miss it a little. LOL!) Well, guess I’d better get back to work. LOTS of editing to do!

P.S. Just a reminder, fall dates are filling fast! October and November are just about FULL already. Contact me asap if you are interested in a fall session.
