These girls are growing up right before my eyes, and I’m so blessed to watch!  I feel like it was yesterday when I first met big sister as a toddler.  I still remember having to work hard to earn a place beside her.  So glad I won her over.  🙂

For most of us, photographer or not, it’s not always easy or enjoyable to get a good photograph of our own children.  As a matter of fact it can be down right miserable!  This year I told my children that their Mother’s Day gift to me was not only a wonderful picture of them together, but that the experience of getting that image would also be good.  I know, it’s a lot to ask!  I have to say that I’m a happy mother this year and I can’t wait to have this on my wall!  🙂

And look at our ClaireBear!  She’s sitting up for long periods of time now.  🙂

What a difference six months can make!  It amazing me how we are created.  So much incredible growth in such a small span of time.  Sweet Harper was just wonderful to see again.  She gave us all she had…and then she crashed.  🙂 You can see her newborn post here.

This week has been a whirlwind week of things to do and sick kids to attend to.  Today seemed to be the light at the end of the tunnel, but another one bit the dust when I found him passed out in my bed with a fever.  Just in time for the weekend, woohoo!  (can you hear the sarcasm?)  I hope this passes fast for him.

On a different note, I will be out of town Friday afternoon through Saturday.  I can be reached by email only during this time.  Meanwhile, don’t forget to keep those Single Parent nominations coming!  Deadline is the 15th.

Last year was the first year I tried this, and I really enjoyed doing these.  We mother’s, we don’t like to get in front of the camera too often.  We like our hair and make up to be perfect, and often they aren’t since we spend our days juggling kids, house, errands and jobs.  It’s important that we make the time to have pictures taken.  And not just of the whole family, but those individual relationships within your family.  They are precious and fleeting. They need to be photographed.  Our memories are often times tied to images, photographs.  Make sure you are in those images.

Through the month of April these sessions will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
