xoxo Happy Birthday to my Mom! xoxo

Congratulations!

Congratulations to one of my oldest & dearest friends, Tina & her husband Mate who welcomed identical twin girls, Mia Sophia & Ava Gabriella a couple months early. They have been spending much needed time in the NICU, but have continued to progress beautifully & I am very very much looking forward to doing a "newbie"/newborn session for them....& kissing their tiny tiny faces off. BIG love to this new & beautiful family. You have such a special place in our hearts.

Believe In 20eleven

Wishing us all a happy, healthy & amazing 2011!!

Holiday Wishes!

With the holiday season upon us I wanted to say a heartfelt thanks for all of you, my friends/clients. You have repeatedly welcomed me into your homes to capture your memories. You have been there for me in person & in prayers during the difficult sickness & loss of my daddy the past couple months. Through these grateful tears I can't tell you how much of a blessing you all are to me. I knew when I officially started Star Portraits nearly 2 years ago now that I would love what I do, but I had no idea that all of you would forever have a special place in my heart. I look forward to capturing more memories for 2011 & wish everyone a happy & healthy holiday season & new year. {{{Warm Hugs!}}}

Some Positive News

It's been a llong time since my family has had some good news. We look to be blessed with a lil firecracker this July 3rd. {{Hugs!}}

Teardrops

Most of you know that after nearly 7 weeks since we learned my dad had "c" that I lost my daddy today. I am soo sincerely thankful from the bottom of my heart for your thoughts & prayers during this unbelievable time. {{Hugs!}} This is the last pic I had taken of him the 1st Sat in June at my Godbaby's 2nd birthday party. I hate that it's a pic of him smoking since that's ultimately what took him from us, but I always thought he looked the coolest like James Dean. He was truly a tough guy even till the very end. These lyrics are from our Father/Daughter dance at my wedding. He was a big John Mellencamp fan which is why I picked it & because it was slow enough & because I knew when I dimmed the lights in my room that last night of living at home I would miss not being able to kiss him goodnight each evening.

Teardrops will fall tonight

Tears I can't hide

Tears that I'd rather keep

deep down inside

Tears fall

A love is gone

Beyond these walls

And when I dim the lights in my room tonight

Teardrops will fall
