I love Dragonflies.....

I love dragonflies and cannot wait to get these shots printed!!!! :) My daughter wants them large for her room, too... :)

Arrrrrrghhhh...Matey!!

I just had to share a snap of my son before his pirate concert.... Yes.. it was in June...but I just had a moment to glance at them... he is tooooooo cute! he was so mad about the mustache and goatee ..that.. I HAD to pay him 5$ to keep it on.....hahahahhahaha He kept it on thought! Love that kid!!! xoxoxo

Sweet child of mine...

Every year near their birthdays, my children are very aware of what is going to happen...yes.... my lovey....there will be a crazy, red-head and she WILL want to get amazing photos of you...AND.. well... quite honestly...YOU WILL LIKE IT!!! :) All kidding aside... this birthday came and left me with a heavy heart..my daughter... the 1st heart I heard beating with my own.. the first little nudge I felt as a miracle grew inside me... the 1st little face I saw on July 12th, 2000... (sigh) she....is.........10.....years ...old! I still do not want to believe it.. I am in shock... I want a rewind button!!!!...(insert tantrum throwing here..) I mean seriously...WHY...if Staples can sell an "easy" button.. WHY do they NOT have a "rewind" one!! Not too much to ask is it???!!! I know.. I am being irrational.. It has just been a difficult Summer.. letting her become "double digits" (sigh) I picked her up the other day.. (hurt myself...another story...) lol but.. I picked her up and plopped her on my lap...and hugged the stuffin' outta her! It was amazing... and she loved every second of it.. I thought her 10 year old self would get all righteous on me and not have any of it... but it was amazing.. and yes, Mumma got all teary eyed.... (sigh) That night we went out.. just the 2 of us for her "10 year old Birthday photos.." we had "ideas".... I have soooo many more to get through...but...this is a peek into our evening... I even made up a stellar song to get her to laugh... OH....it... worked!! I am trying not to get all emotional as I write this.. trying to keep it light and funny..but I miss things...moments...when she was little and had the sweetest, tiniest voice... and she would snuggle in my lap for days at a time.. and whisper "I you, mumma...I you" (her way of saying I love you)..I can still hear that sweet little voice and smell her sweet little self... I swear I can... I hope that stays with me for the rest of my days... and that she and I will always have our cuddletime... even when she is 10+20.... I love you, my sweet, sassy, dramatic,lovey, bossy, creative ...little girl.... to the moon and back again and again and again.... I carry your heart with me... I carry it in my heart...xoxoxo ~Mumma

Emma...Diva..Extraordinaire...

Emma and her Mom came home to visit Maine from Florida... and... called me for a session.. I was over the moon with excitement! I was so sad last year when I learned they were moving to Florida.. Emma is another of my favorites! She has so much sweetness, sass, and humor all rolled into her tiny little self...Oh my goodness! We were on location and her momma and I commented on how beautiful the flowers were.. she stopped smiling... gave us THE look and said "...ummm..what about....MEEE... aren't I beautiful...??!!!" we HAD to stop.. momma and I were just in tears... YESSSSSS, Emma..... YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! xoxo ~Stacy

Little Miss Annelise,

This sweetheart has come to me a few times for photographs..(she is the daughter of a dear, old friend) It has been so much fun working with her....She is well... almost.............as funny as I am... :) sadly....I am not sure she is "believing" the Roscoe story any longer...poor, poor.. misunderstood Roscoe...who will I tell your story to... ?? We shall make sure you live on my dear friend... please, tell Priscilla I say "hello".... :) ~Stacy

Sweet newborn smell...(sigh)

Miss Makenzie Paige came to visit her (Aunt) Stacy for her very 1st photographs... It was love at first sight of course... oh...my...aching....heart...she is just perfect! I am so very happy for this family, they have waited for her for so very long... I will find great joy in watching her grow and sniffing her sweet baby self over the days, months and years to come.... much love to this family! (oh.. and thanks for putting my "baby fever" into overdrive!! hehehe)

Greg....

This young man comes from a wonderful family... I have had the pleasure of knowing them for many years...(she's my little sister's best friend..) Gregory was so much fun to work with...and honestly, with a face like that , it would be pretty difficult to get a bad shot of him! I will have many more to show ya! Thanks again!! ~Stacy xoxo
