A *star* is born!!!

My niece has made her debut into this world! Stellina (Italian for "little star") is GORGEOUS!!! Mom and dad are both doing well.

Our family is blessed and happy...not to mention busy. So I've got to run, but I'll leave you with this sneak peek.





Of course...a ton of photos are forthcoming.

Take care!

Avery - A very special gift

I am so proud to introduce you all to my cousin Andrenise's newborn baby girl, Avery Nicole. This "little woman" was almost a week overdue...and apparently had a healthy supply of Wheaties in there because she came out 22 inches long and a whopping 11 pounds, 1 ounce! Yeah - I'll give you a minute to let you absorb that. Everyone joked that she gave birth to a toddler! lol

Anywho, we just so happen to be visiting my grandmother in Michigan, who is only a short drive away from my cousin. So we piled into the Caddy, tossed Edzra's directions to the side because Uncle Marvin had "his own way", and made the drive to meet miss Avery. It was actually a long, hot trip due to traffic; but all of our whining and complaining went out the door as soon as we laid our eyes on her. Avery is GORGEOUS! Killer cheeks, a head full of thick hair, and the cutest dimple on her chin.

So enough chatter, I know you only want to see this gorgeous little girl, so here ya go!

Congratulations Andrenise and Edzra! God has truly blessed you with an angel in Avery, and she with wonderful parents like you! We love you guys!

Sneak Peek for little miss A

This past Saturday, I met up with the H family. They wanted to take some photos in celebration of little miss A recently turning 2! As a mom to an almost two-year old, I knew I was in for a *busy* shoot and A did not let me down. As soon as they put her down, she was off and running. You gotta love the excitement and wonder of a two-year old. Makes for some fantastic shots. Well...that and her amazingly blue eyes. So without further ado, here are some teasers from the session. Hope you enjoy!

And one of my faves. Talk about your water conductor! :)

I had a blast photographing you A...and your little lamb, too.

Who is this...

...toddler who has replaced my baby?

You always hear people say that time flies by, but you really never know just how true that is until you have a child. I remember when she couldn't even hold her own head up and now she is begging me to sit on my lap and stop typing this blog so she can watch Elmo. *sigh* Time flies alright.
