I might be a little biased…but I think she is the most gorgeous mama to be!  I was so excited to take my sister’s maternity photos…and of course I am even more excited to meet my nephew in just a few short weeks (maybe sooner if he decides to make his grand entrance early!).   I will be sure to share his newborn photographs…I won’t be able to resist!

I am so lucky to have become friends with several talented photographers from all over the world!  We decided to challenge ourselves and each select a poem from the Shel Silverstein’s book “Where the Sidewalk Ends”.  I immediately knew which poem I wanted to use:  For Sale!  My kids LOVE reading the poems from this book…but were especially tickled with the poem For Sale.  My daughter laughed and laughed about it.  My husband changed the words to “Brother For Sale”…and my son’s laughing came to a halt.  He was very upset and didn’t like it AT ALL!  So, we changed it back to “Sister” and it was all smiles again!  Gotta love kids!

Here are the photos that we took…the kids tried their hardest to execute my vision…not sure we totally hit the mark but we had fun doing it!

If you want to check out some of my friend’s photos…here they are:

I can’t believe my little girl is going to turn 4 this spring!  I keep asking her if we can just skip her birthday this year and pretend that she is still three!  She reassures her crazy mother that she will still hold my hand, cuddle with me on the couch and will live with us forever.  OK, I guess she will get to have another birthday after-all! 

I look forward to using this blog to share my life, my family and the families that I am honored to photograph!

So, here she is…my soon to be 4 year old!
