Brad and Melanie

This family was so sweet to work with. They just had a baby girl, Addison, who was just the cutest little babe to work with. She slept the whole time. I love that about newborns. Thansk Brad and Melanie for letting me take some pictures of you guys

I had a lot of fun. Whose next?

What happens when you wake up one day realizing you have two passion in life: your family and a love for photography? And you just can't seem to let either one go? Well, I will try to tell you. You wake up after the 10th time during the middle of the night, why? Oh ya, you have a baby that won't sleep through the night.

What happens when your baby has just finished his third feeding, your toddler has come down to inform you that he has wet the bed and you are wide awake? You run to the computer that luckily is still on and you jot down all the crazy ideas that are running through your head because you aren't allowed to sleep.

So you finally fall asleep only to be woken back up to start your crazy day. You are so tired, your kids are already yelling at you to feed them breakfast and your baby is so tired because like you, he didn't sleep either. Yep, its 7 am and your day has already begun. No such thing as sleeping in. One day you can dream about that.

By mid afternoon you are so completely exhausted that you fall asleep while reading your children their stories before naps. Then you realize that these little ones that you have been entrusted with are so cute that you wouldn't trade them for anything. Then it dawns on you, you are so lucky to have the best of both worlds, craziness included. No studio, no babysitters (although that would be nice). Just you and your family, and your passion for photography. At home. Loving every minute of every day.

This is my life. I am happy.
