Leaving for Las Vegas!!!

We'll be closed until 3/24.

We're leaving for Las Vegas for a tradeshow and convention. So, hopefully we'll find some great new products, props, and lots of great ideas!!! They'll be about 10,000 photographers there, so it's going to be a great time!!!

See ya soon,

The Greatest Job in the World

I've got the greatest job in the world --- Motherhood.

You thought I was going to say: Photographer. I love photography, but it comes second to being a mom. As any mother will tell you, I've got the greatest and cutest kids in the world. Of course, I'm as bias as any mother! When I look at pictures of my kids, it makes me smile. Which is why I posted these, they make me smile. They're just snapshots of my kids, no studio lighting, no cute clothes, just hanging out in their jammies. But, pictures bring back the joy I felt on that day with my children.

So, in the spirit of motherhood, I'd like to share some of the reasons my kids always seem to brighten my day:

"Billy-isms" definition: the world according to Billy.

These are all Billy-isms:

Billy: "Do you know why we have windows?"
Me: "Why?"
Billy: "So birds don't fly in!"

Billy: "Do you know why we have houses?"
Me: "Why?"
Billy: "So we don't have to sleep in the snow."

Billy: "Do you know why we have Periwinkle?" (Our cat)
Me: "Why?"
Billy: "So we can pet him."

Billy is full of questions, all day, he asks questions. Some of my favorites:
"What's the moon made of?"
"Why are there trees?"
"Why can't we see God? What does He look like?"
"Why does it snow? Why are there clouds? Why does the wind blow? What's snow made of?"
"How does God see through the roof?"

Being a mom, I found myself saying things like:
"Where are your clothes? (With a naked laughing child running through the house)
"Do not put your hands in the toilet" (then, we sanitize, sigh, again)
"Don't put that in your mouth!" (said almost everyday)
"Where did you find that?" (Billy walks into the room drinking yesterdays chocolate milk!)
"Do not give your baby sister a marker!" (Dani's face is now covered in marker)


Then, Billy can be so sweet, out of the blue he'll just look at his sister and say, "Oh, sweetie, you look so cute today." Or, he'll look at me and say, "Mom, I love you." It can make your heart melt!


At the end of the day, I just smile. This is just another day in paradise (sorry for the cliche)
I love my kids, and 4 years ago, I started the greatest job in the world!!!

The other day, we were hanging around the house, still in our jammies. Billy was watching birds on the porch and in the trees. He was telling me and Dani, how the big bird was the mommy and the little one was the baby. Then, he say, "Oh, look at the cute, little baby." Pretty soon, Dani had to check out the birds, too. They was so cute!




These are a few the other day at Grandma's house. Dani was being a ham.


Billy loves to draw. He spends hours drawing pictures of trains, racecars, people, dinosaurs. He's pretty good, too.
