I know, I know… there are a million people out there asking you to donate your hard earned money for a cause.  Telethons, walkathons, raffles, school fundraisers, church fundraisers, sports team fundraisers… the list goes on and on.  Its not often that I talk about my personal life here on the blog.  However, the annual Walk for MS is approaching and we’ve begun assembling our team.

“MS, you say?”  Yes, Multiple Sclerosis.  “But that’s treatable right?!” For many there are treatments that really work and really help.  Unfortunately, not all forms of MS have and FDA approved medications or treatments for them.  The way we fight this is for more money and more research.

A few years ago, my husband – my amazing wonderful gift from God husband, started having some strange things going on.  He was having intense fatigue and deep leg pain that no medication was even touching.  Things progressed and after alot of drs appointment we found an answer.  My husband has Primary Progressive MS.  PPMS is one of the more rare forms of MS that really have no helpful treatments for.   So my husband is left in pain pretty much every hour of every day of his life.  You would never know it unless you noticed him limping or watched my vibrant, young, seemingly healthy husband use a cane on long walks.  He’s determined not to let this thing stop him and we are all determined that they (meaning the wonderful doctors and researchers out there working hard) WILL give him some hope and some relief one day.  So I’m asking YOU to help us!

The event happens on April 10th, 2010.  Registration begins at 9:00 am and the walk begins at 10:30 am.  Its a 1 mile walk (nothing too strenuous, I promise!!) at the Barfield Crescent Park here in Murfreesboro, you can find registration at Shelter #7.

If you can, join our team or sponsor us.  If not, please include us in your prayers as we walk!

We had a great day here in the studio on Saturday.  I had a ton of fun kids who were soooo great to photograph and CRAZY cute!  So our first ever Valentine’s Mini Sessions were a smashing success!  Here is a sample of some of the kids I photographed Saturday.  I’ll be in touch with the complete galleries very soon parents! Enjoy!

And yes, I photographed a penguin.  That is Tacky, Anna’s class Penguin and this was HER weekend to bring him home.  So I let him help me with the sessions and then of course I HAD to photograph him too.  How cute is he??!

Seriously though, all the kids were adorable and great!  And MAN this was a big sneak peek!
THANKS!

I got the chance to photograph this sweet little girl’s big ONE year portrait session.  I’ve photographed her cousin and was kindly referred (have I mentioned how much I love referrals??!) to this sweet family!  This precious girl was a little serious with me, very interested in ALL of my chairs (lol) and was NOT sure about her cake at first.  I got some beautiful shots of this sweet little girl, here are a few to enjoy for now!

So I always warn my clients, before a newborn session… don’t sweat it if they pee or poop on us.  Good thing I warned momma TODAY because this sweet baby girl gave us LOTS of laugh from all her accidents, all over both of us!  She is a beauty though and each clean up was easy peasy.  Check her out… enjoy!

Can’t wait to photograph your little sweeties!

So I’ve been back to work this week after a much needed and MUCH enjoyed vacation!  We had a beautiful Christmas and an amazing time outside of Chicago with family.  I am so blessed with my little family, I can’t begin to explain or put into words how much I love them!  I hope to share some pictures from Christmas, etc soon!

BUT for NOW, I have a client awaiting a sneak peek.  Sorry for the small delay!  You’ve seen this sweet baby before and she was back this week for her 6th  month session.   Sadly, little baby A wasn’t so sure about our session and refused to give us even ONE big smile and we TRIED.  All my clients know how hard I work for those sweet smiles and this was NO session was no exception.  Smiles or no smiles, she’s still a beautiful baby and here she is – sitting up like a big girl now!
