My friend called the other day…

March 16, 2012 by Elaine

In these days of constant busy and growing up little kids and having my mind somewhere else but here, and well, just LIVING, I do not talk to my friends on the phone very much anymore. I see my local friends and we text or get together for Mom nights where we talk in a…

This mother of three should really know by now that 2 year-olds don’t stand still, right?

March 7, 2012 by Elaine

Taking photos of kids is pretty hard.  Especially when it is your own and especially when they are not too keen on listening to you and just want to do their own thing.  BUT, you chose that moment in time to try to take their photo so you just snap away and do the best…

Everybody Loves a Mardi Gras Parade

February 22, 2012 by Elaine

Mardi Gras is over and tomorrow Lent begins (or today, depending on when you read this…) The festivities of the last week and a half produced more beads than our household could handle so we already have a bag full, ready to be donated. Our last parade was a warm one since we spent it…

Back

January 30, 2012 by Elaine

So the kids and I drove off to Big D (Dallas) on Thursday afternoon for some visiting of family and friends. The main reason we went was because one of my “besties” is about to have her second son and we girls surprised her with a shower/dinner.  She had absolutely NO idea that it was…

Newborns are From Heaven (but a tad hard to photograph)

January 6, 2012 by Elaine

My good friend here in town had her third baby boy a few days before Christmas and he is just the sweetest thing.  But then aren’t all babies, fresh from Heaven?  Oh yes, they SO are. You may remember I took some maternity shots for her several weeks ago (scroll down to bottom of post)….

Wow, What A Year!

December 30, 2011 by Elaine

Going through an entire YEAR’s worth of photos is fun, time consuming and brings forth so very many emotions.  I think I said in my head “Oh my gosh look how cute and little “so-and-so” was!!” about a bazillion times, possibly with a tear or three in my eye. Even The B Man seemed smaller and…

Half Mary, Here I Come!
