The Dress:10 Years Later:

My husband and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage today!  I thought it would be fun to get out my wedding dress and let the girls play with it.  My oldest daughter loved it.  She kept calling it a princess dress-- a "BIG princess dress" to be exact.  There are 12 layers of tulle in the skirt; it is a big dress! :)  Walking down the aisle was definitely a chore.  But this was the dress.  I saw it in a magazine and I had to have it. (Thanks Dad!)  I don't think I ever thought about looking like a princess, but I sure felt wonderful in it.  My baby B didn't think it was so wonderful.  She refused to sit on the tulle and clung to me for dear life if I tried to put her near the dress.  It was so funny.  I took pictures of the crown I wore with my veil and the jar that holds my dried bouquet just for fun. Oh, how time flies.  Happy Anniversary to Us!

Ciara and Blair:

I've known Ciara and Blair for a few years.  My husband and I had dinner with them in their new home soon after they moved into town.  We sat in fold-out camp chairs around their dining room table and ate Blair's favorite baked chicken dinner.  Even though they weren't completely unpacked, their house was already full of love.  They were so genuine and kind, and easy to talk to.  Like us, at the time, they were anxious to start a family.  Ciara excitedly showed us the room that would be the nursery during a tour of their beautiful home.  They are hoping to finally fill that room through the miracle and blessing of adoption.  They are on a list of waiting adoptive parents.  You can view their profile by clicking  HERE or by visiting www.itsaboutlove.org and typing in their Profile ID number: 24375274.  I loved Ciara and Blair immediately-- they are exactly the kind of happy people I like to be around.  If ever you meet them, I can guarantee that you will love them too.  I wish you all the best my friends.  Thank so much for asking me to take your pictures.  You are a gorgeous pair!

The Johnson Family:

I lost track of how many times I said, "She's SO cute!" during this shoot. :)  I just couldn't help it-- I mean, look at this adorable baby girl!  I got to spend two hours with her and she stayed awake the entire time.  She gets her good looks from her mommy and daddy--you'll see.  And I can already tell that she is going to be best friends with her doggy, Bailey. :)

The Green of Spring!
