6 Weeks!

Here's Alex! This is Carleigh's new baby brother...

Joseph

This little guy's mom is the one organizing the Buddy Cruise. I entered one of these in the Miller's contest - Round 4 results will be available at the beginning of July!

Family session

Check out this Family Tree! This was a fun session, and so entertaining to watch everyone climb up into the tree for this shot.

Taylor, part 2

The infamous "Taylor" session. We went to a super-secret location on Sunday to finish up her senior session. Don't even act like you're going to ask me where it is, because I won't tell!

More exciting news!

I submitted one portrait for Round 3 of Millers Professional Imaging Baby and Child Portrait Contest last month. The results are in, and I am SO EXCITED to announce that, once again, out of several thousand entries, the image I submitted was chosen to be a finalist that will go on to a final round in July. Woo hooooo!

New Cardinals!

For the past 3 years, there is a kamikaze cardinal that likes to fly into my office window. I even planted a hibiscus tree in front of the window so he wouldn't fly full force into it. Since planting the tree, he now sits in the tree before he flies into the window. Every now & again I would see his lady with him, too. For the past few months, I've only seen the male, until this weekend - he brought a young cardinal with him to the tree! At first I thought it was his lady, but then I noticed that the beak was black and the feathers on its belly were like down.

Today after Julia got home from school, the male, female, and TWO young cardinals paid me a visit! I managed to get this shot before they all left the tree. Some of its feathers are starting to turn red. I don't know much about cardinals except that the young ones have black beaks and the adults have bright red beaks.

Julia's first solo

Julia, my 10-year-old, had her first solo in her fifth grade performance last Monday. Her sister Amanda took video with her camera for all to enjoy. Julia's the first soloist. We're very proud of her!
