Documenting children growing up is a daily occurrence now with the advent of cell phones. Pull yours out and flip trough it. I bet that if you have kids, you have hundreds of pictures of them doing everyday things. But what about your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles? I imagine that you have way fewer photos of them and usually only on special occasions. I'd like to encourage you to book a session with me and include those family members and document your lives together today. If you book your session with me by March 31st, I will waive the extra person fee. It is so important to capture your lives together and the legacy that is their life.
An afternoon with Helen.
When my niece and nephew were in town we went to visit our dear friend Helen. I grew up next door to this wonderful woman. She is the kindest most genuine person you will ever meet. I have been blessed to have her in my life - my entire life.
Growing up I would spend countless hours at her house - playing dress up and dolls, swimming in the pool, but most fondly I remember our moments where we would bake together. We would spend the afternoon in the kitchen baking and cooking up a storm. Instead of being annoyed with a little person underfoot, she would grab a chair for me to stand on and let me stir and read the recipes. And of course I got to lick the cookie batter spoon when we were done.
Seeing the kids playing with Helen made my heart mushy with fond memories and yearning to hold on to them all. I went back to my folks and dug through the picture box (you know the one) and found some great moments captured in photographs. But none of us baking together. I wish I had one of those.

I can't even explain how much I love this woman! She loved me like her very own child - as she did with all of the other kids I grew up with. I was so lucky to have grown up with her living next to me. She taught me so much about out life and cooking and gardening and love. Helen, you will always be an inspiration to me!
Stella wants to play house with the teddy bear. She wants to be the mommy and Helen is the daddy.
So in pure Helen fashion, she grabbed a baseball hat and in her deepest voice she played the daddy. Stella was just so tickled and enamored with Helen. These are the memories I love to capture!
