This week’s challenge on I “Heart” Faces….is Flowers & Faces….this is the image I chose….
I have blogged about my children in the past. For some reason lately, I have really thought of what they truly mean to me. Taylor is 15. He astounds me by how much of a man he is becoming on a daily basis. I think the part of him that I love most is …. Taylor TRULY loves his Mama :) and that makes me smile. If I am lucky, I will have him for 4 more years under my roof. In the grand scheme of things, that is not long. It scares me. The world scares me. My not being RIGHT THERE to make sure all is okay….it seriously scares me. I believe with all my heart I have taught my children right from wrong. I have passed on the moral values my wonderful parents instilled in me. That part of the process gives me a sense of peace; however (and that’s a BIG however) what about every one else. I believe God only allows us to borrow these beautiful babies to raise in his ways. They ultimately belong to Him. Thank you God for my babies. You have truly blessed me. Taylor, my baby boy, you are MY blessing.
Mallie Anne (as I have always called her) is my baby girl. She is a beautiful on the inside and out. She makes me proud every day. You must be tired of seeing her on the blog, as I shoot her (it seems) incessantly. She is one of my favorite subjects. I see SO much of myself in her ways. Honestly….it amazes me and scares me silly. My mom always told me you receive payback from your children for YOUR misdeeds as a child/teen. Mallie is 13..WoooHoooo….Let the GAMES begin, and God give me strength and patience…I plan on having her under my roof for AT LEAST six more years. She (like myself) is a force to be reckoned with….(isn’t the first step admitting it?) She is head strong, intelligent, outspoken and beautiful. I beg and pray that she uses her talents to always work hard and diligently to be the best at everything she wants to achieve. Mallie Anne, you are my sunshine.
These next two shots are possibly the most telling of their true nature with one another. I will cherish them forever. They make me smile.
L.O.V.E. this next one. bunches.
And, this is the “framer”…..
Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

First of all….I truly plan on blogging this weekend. I (as I have told you before) am a Blog Stalker. But, this is something you do not know….When I log in to Google Reader, and see that NicholeV is “Bold” (which means there are new posts), I literally get giddy. She, honestly, rocks my world. She is an artist in every form imaginable. She is doing an Ultimate Giveaway, and I will promise you this….If I am LUCKY enough to win….I will be the happiest chick in town!
Just go look….I’m telling you….SHE is FANTABULOUS! Nichole Van

Last Wednesday I had the honor of taking portraits of one of my favorite families. A couple of weeks ago, Holland had me shoot a couple of headshots for Asher’s 1st birthday invitation. I was SO excited to get the chance to take portraits of them all. Holland said they had not had a family portrait made since Asher was born!?!?!?! These babies are precious and I was in Heaven! By the way, if you are looking for a birthday cake or ANY cake for ANY occasion, Holland is your girl! Her talents are phenomenal, and her cakes are fabulous! I love you guys!!! Here are a few of my faves. Enjoy!
