i so love what i do. i can honestly say that...through and through. sometimes i even think that i love it too much. i long to shoot all the time. today, i got to shoot all three of my kids and that's pretty darn exciting (not together but still...exciting). the funny thing is...i would have never asked ryder to do photos today (he's been throwing up on and off since monday) but when i brought the tricycle in the house to test out an idea i had, he saw it and jumped on. i didn't plan on him being on it but i sure was happy when he got on. i think he was pretty happy too. ha...what two year old boy wouldn't be happy about a trike being brought in his house :-)

in closing (and going to bed), i wanted to thank all my family and friends, who have been such great supporters of me during this photography journey. i don't think i'd be where i am today without your encouragement and support. it's little things like tonight, when my husband came to bed (yes, i got back out of bed after being asleep)...he kissed me goodnight and said, "you're such a great mom. and you're such a great photographer. i'm so lucky." he didn't need to say that about being a photographer but he knows how passionate i am about photography. it's the little things. and truly...i am the lucky one.
