What a crazy month it has been! I have a lot to share and hope to do so in the next few days….But for now I’m going to leave you with these two cuties.
Yearly Archives: 2009
For some reason, Meg is the one that never seems to be around when I have my camera out. It was nice to get some shots of her this weekend….
Once again, these two were perfect little models! Even though it was rainy, we had a fun time! It’s hard to believe by looking at these that less than 24 hours later, Jack would be struck with a fever and bronchitis! What a trooper! I cannot believe how much these two have grown up since the first time I photographed them. They are terrific kids, with a terrific Mom, and I’m so fortunate to be able to take their pictures.
This has been a sad, sad week for my family and me. My brother died on Wednesday at Altru Hospital. We thank all of our family and friends who have supported us during these past couple of weeks. Jeff was a wonderful, loving son, brother and uncle. Our hearts ache with grief and sadness. Yet we celebrate his life and are blessed with so many wonderful memories of our time with him. He will be missed. We love him very much.

The mom of these 3 beautiful children has definitely waited very patiently for these sneak peeks! These kids were a lot of fun…and so photogenic! And I just loved the colors of their outfits! These pictures were taken on one of the last nice days we’ve had this Fall. It’s amazing how quickly everything changed outside, isn’t it? Oh, how I miss my flip flops already! :) Enjoy your sneak peak!
