It’s a Beautiful Morning!

Let’s face it.  Some mornings are simply just better than others.  And for me, this is one of them.  But how can it not be a great morning when you wake up to this?

 

My biggest fan by far, my daughter Catie, is constantly inspiring me and giving me new, fresh ideas for my work.  I love her!  And with that, I wanted to mention that I still have some availability for May, so if you haven’t yet booked your spring session, hurry up and call or email me.  I’ve already started booking June as well.  AND, I know this may seem silly being that it’s only spring, but if you plan on some family photos or cards for the holidays, now is the time to book that too!  The end of summer and fall sessions book up VERY quickly, so if you want to stake your claim, call me soon!  And as always, thank you for visiting my blog.  (and feel free to leave your comments for any of the beautiful little models that grace the pages of my blog.  They are the real treasures of our lives!).

    Christine, I just saw this and am smiling from ear to ear. Your Catie is so smart and artistic. I love her drawing. So cute!

Pretty in Pink

A day with the lovely Nicole!
There’s just something about this first picture that I love.
It makes me think of a yummy cupcake with ruffly (is that even a word?) pink frosting on top!
Super sweet and super cute.
And that pretty much sums up my cute little niece,  so I decided it was a great opportunity to post some new pictures of her.  🙂

My Special Angel

Six years ago today, God blessed our family with a very special angel.  Catherine Grace, better known as Catie (or Kay Kay as I sometimes call her), appeared into this world and has given us nothing but delight and joy ever since.  She’s like my little flower that keeps blooming, over and over again.  She’s like that little breath of fresh air that you get when you first wake up in the morning and stick your head out the window to feel that chilly, “early Spring” air hitting you in the face.  It’s the way her eyes curve like half moons when she smiles that makes me feel like I’m looking at a beautiful paisley print.  It’s her soft little voice when she sings to me that makes my heart leap with love.  It’s the hundreds of times she tells me she loves me, for no reason at all, out of the clear blue.  And it’s the passion she has for anything artsy, anything musical, and anything at all having to do with cats and kittens.  I could go on and on with all the reasons I love this little one so enormously!
So when I asked her what she wanted to do for her 6th birthday photos, she asked if she could have a big bunch of balloons – another one of her favorite things.  🙂
So here she is, with her birthday balloons!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY CATIE!  I hope this year is as beautiful and delightful as you are!  Enjoy your special day KayKay!

    HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART. WE LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU MANY MORE HAPPY BIRTHDAYS! THAT IS SUCH A PRETTY DRESS YOU ARE WEARING!

    CHRISTINE, YOU ARE AMAZING WITH THAT CAMERA! THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL.

“The Gift”

Oh, how wonderful to see such a refreshing splash of beautiful, radiant color amidst the gray and brown hues of this Pennsylvania winter of ours.  Check out this gorgeous scarf!!!  It was made by one of the nicest, loveliest, most talented people I know.  I long for the day when I am able to take that ball of yarn that has been sitting in the “knitting bag” in my closet for about a year now, and turn it into something as beautiful as this!  Thank you so much, Sandra, for all of the time you dedicate to our little ones.  You are a tremendous gift and it is truly a blessing to have you in our lives!  XOXO

Three years ago today, a beautiful little baby came bursting into our world.  What a joyous day it was!  So sweet, so independent, so loving… that little baby is now turning three!  My sweet Sophie Bridget, I love you more than words can say and I hope that all your dreams come true while you enjoy this exciting year of being THREE!   I love you SOOOO much!
