I read another photographer’s blog and was inspired by her “grateful” post.  Rachel Clare is another photographer who’s work I have admired for so long but I have never actually met her in person. Her work inspires me, her blog is so stinkin’ cute and her personality makes me feel like we’ve been friends forever. I am thankful that in the world of photography there are grateful, wonderful people who are willing to share their wisdom and passion. I am THANKFUL for my children. My health. The people in my life who love me unconditionally (even through my love of country music and addiction to coffee) and inspire me to constantly reach for my dreams. To those I love, I thank you. I will forever be, GRATEFUL. XOXO

Now my attempt at a garden. My snow peas.

and a shot I took while on a recent family vacation camping in Virginia. Boys and water……they are just drawn to each other. It’s the simple things. Till next time………..

I was asked by Jen from work to do her wedding photos. I have to admit I was honored but also very scared! I think wedding photographers are some of the hardest working people out there and the pressure of having to capture that special day and getting the “right” shot really scares me. On that note……I agreed to do it. (I love a challenge) She looked beautiful and I was so happy to be a part of her day. I wish them the happiest of times, lots of laughs and cherished times together. Thank you for letting me share in your special day.

speical note: 25 comments gets Jen a free 8×10 of her choice.
