LYNE & GALT : MATERNITY

I honestly don't think there is anything more precious than a wife and husband becoming parents. And I couldn't be more excited and overjoyed because in less than two weeks, that is exactly what Lyne and Galt will become. Parents!

When I photographed Lyne and Galt for their engagement pictures, I strictly remember them talking about having a family soon after they got married. And they wanted a big family.

I was thrilled when Lyne called me to have some belly pictures taken. It's such a beautiful thing, and I was so honored to have documented this time for them.

In the time being, I will patiently await to hear if it's a boy or a girl.

HAPPY NOVEMBER

It's here. No really! I didn't even see it coming, but it's here. November, y'all! Only two months left and we'll be ringing in 2010. I find it absolutely crazy to even think that an entire year has gone by faster than I can eat a cupcake.

October was an amazing month for me. Some fabulous moments and some not so fabulous moments. But that's part of life. And I love my life even when I'm thrown some curve balls.

The next couple months are going to be a roller coaster. Not on the business side, but more on the personal. So when I have details, I'll be able to tell-all about our new journey ahead.

I'll end this post with a sweet image of our little witch on Halloween. I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween. And hopefully no one received any cavities!

Happy Monday, Y'all!

HOPE AND INSPIRATION

She grew up in the same small town as me, she and my father were high school sweethearts and even went to prom together. My sister as a teenager was her nanny in California for their three children. But I never really knew Mary. I knew of her, but never actually knew her.

I was taken back one day as I sat down to read my email. In Mary's email to me, she explained how she loved my work as a photographer and she was dabbling in it herself. I was beyond flattered. And when she mentioned she would love to come visit and learn from me one on one. My first reaction was, ME? She wanted to learn from me? But I emailed her back thanking her for her kind and genuine words and that I would love nothing more than for her to come visit while I fill her brain full of "my photography world".

Many weeks later, Mary arrived with flowers and fresh baked peach crisp. She obviously knew how to win my heart. We immediately made some tea and we sat down and chatted about life. She told me wonderful stories about my grandmother, my father and the very dress she wore to prom with my father. Within minutes she had her heart on her sleeve and words of inspiration unlike anyone I've ever known. She made my heart smile.

After spending a few days with Mary, I knew she entered my life for a reason and a purpose. She inspired me in more ways than I could even imagine. She left me hopeful for my future with me and my growing family.

Mary left an impact on my heart and I am forever grateful. Although I hated saying goodbye to Mary this morning, I know she left such wonderful inspiration with me that I will forever cherish.

CHANGES

I look back to just a couple months ago and I can't believe how much has changed. Not only have my hormones been on quite the roller coaster ride, but my belly is sticking out more and more, and the movement of our little baby is progressing daily. Then I look at our wardrobe and see how dramatically it has changed. We're no longer in flip flops and t-shirts but in warm sweaters and long pants. I much prefer flip flops and t-shirts.

Halloween is approaching and I absolutely love this holiday. I love the unlimited indulgence of candy with no guilt, the spookiness and all the cool costumes. Don't you just love changes?!


Happy Monday!

BAD HABIT

Yes, it's true. I have a bad habit. And I'm reminded of my bad habit quite often but for some reason I can't seem to nip it in the butt. A couple days ago I heard Leo say from across the room, "Baby, you have too many shoes". And of course I replied with, "well, you have too many coats". It's true, Leo has far too many coats for a man. But back to my shoes. Leo's right, I do have too many shoes. But I don't find anything wrong with having too many shoes. The problem is that I leave my shoes out for everyone to walkover or around. I'm horrible. For some apparent reason I can't put my shoes either on our "shoe rug" or in my closet. Instead I leave Monday's shoes by the door, Tuesday's shoes by our chair, Wednesday's shoes by the coat rack, Thursday's shoes by the stairs and well Friday's were probably Tuesday's shoes so they don't count. I'm a hot mess.

I wish I had a better solution to my madness, but I don't. After today, the madness is only going to get worse because I bought yet ANOTHER pair of shoes. But they were on sale so it's completely okay. Right, baby?

And I'm extremely sad to announce that I have temporarily retired all my shoes with a heel. My pregnant feet will hate me for life if I put them in a pair of heels. So I've been out buying flats. In case some of you haven't noticed or hadn't heard the rumors, it's true. I'm wearing closed toe, flat shoes!

Happy Wednesday!

IT'S FRIDAY

I love Friday's! Although I don't work an 8-5 job Monday through Friday, I love Friday's because it's a day where everyone seems happy. All the hard workers are happy it's the last working day of the week. Kids are happy since they get to sleep in the next day. And I'm happy because Leo doesn't work on Friday's and he takes me to my favorite establishments for some delish food. I.LOVE.FRIDAY!

And to make your day even better, here's an adorable video that I seriously can't stop smiling over. So I'm hoping to bring a Happy Friday Smile to you!

Happy Friday Y'all!
