i took these photos last weekend in eric’s dad’s garden while the boys were helping grandpa plant. i need to post pictures of that, but i while going through those pictures, i came across these, and i couldn’t help myself. i like when i have images that work together. i have also been spending some time perusing other photographers sites, looking for inspiration. these happen to be inspired by the talented alicia bock. these come no where near her stuff:) there is something about the tones in her work that is just so calming. i struggle with this style in my portrait work, but i’m loving how it works here. maybe these might just find a home in my kitchen somewhere.

i had a great mother’s day! we celebrated with eric’s family on saturday, and the boys had so much fun playing in mima and pipa’s beautiful backyard! a visit at mima and pipa’s isn’t complete without bubbles…as you can see in the pictures of the boys:) this little creature has been our guest for the past several days. we have had the pleasure of watching it out our front window. it’s mommy comes and feeds it, and gives it flying lessons regularly. it’s so sweet to watch, and the boys are enjoying it! they watch more than i do, and they are often giving me updates as to it’s whereabouts. this morning eli came and got me, cause the mommy bird was near with a worm in it’s mouth, but he couldn’t see the baby. after watching the mommy swoop down into this bush, and quickly fly away, we figured it out. so, how could i resist the photo op? our cat is walking around the house letting everyone know how mad she is cause we haven’t been letting her out. we also have a bunny running around that finds it’s way into our backyard. i have yet to capture it, it’s really fast! so anyway, that’s what’s happening around here;)
i hope everyone enjoyed their mother’s day!

okay, so the last month or so, i’ve been working on a site. i know, i know, i just got my other one.
it just wasn’t cutting it, in my opinion:) this new one has client proofing…(no more proof blogs:) and you can place an order straight from the site! this will (hopefully) eliminate some confusion when it comes to ordering. not to mention it’s BEAUTIFUL…atleast i think so.
i still have a short list of things to change…some commas in the wrong places, a few sentences that need to be edited, you know that kind of stuff:) but i couldn’t wait to flip the switch (go live)! so the next few days, when i have a free moment here and there, i will be making some small changes. thanks to miss jamie, for her editing skills, and my sweet husband for putting up with my never ending “work” it’s ready for you all to view. so….take a look, let me know what you think, and if you see ANYTHING that you think should be changed, re-written, or something you love, let me know…i need any and all the help i can get! oh, and in the next few weeks i hope to add details about a “belly to baby” package, and a “first year” plan. just working out all the kinks, and making sure it all makes sense. so when i get that up, i will probably ask you all to take another look:)
