My Lily Is 3 Today!

My oldest baby girl turned 3 years old @ 4:45 am. It's been an emotional week for me because I've had to realize that she really is no longer a beautiful baby,..but a beautiful little girl. It's been an amazing blessing since March 30th 2006 to see her grow & learn each day. She is soo much more beautiful & smarter than I had ever dreamed of since I myself was a little girl. Everyday she surprises me with some brilliant comment or action & just like her daddy; every day she makes me laugh. I love you Lily. You make my heart feel super happy. A million birthday wishes to my favorite flower. May every single one come true! <---Insert happy tears here! ; )

Crawford Portrait Session

Sunday was a trip out to University Heights to take pics of a former high school classmates Jen Hargreaves-Crawford's little ones. Laney who is 2 1/2 & Sam who is 1 month. Both have a natural picturesque beauty & gorgeous eyes! Alas, I still can't get over that I'm taking portraits of high school friends families. Didn't we just graduate a couple years ago?? Time flies when you're having fun & this photo session was definitely a fun time. Congrats on your beautiful family Jen & Mike!!

Rinas Portrait Session

The Rinas family was referred by one of my Featured Stars Michelle & Brayden Cyrek. It was such a gorgeous day filled with sunshine, warmth & smiles. Another great time out in Macedonia. Thank you Karen, Matt, Luke & Jillian for inviting me into your home! They too will soon have a Featured spot so keep an eye out for it!

Happy Birthday Terese

A very special Happy Birthday to my little sister who turns the BIG 3-0 today! Though she can probably still pass for a young girl in jr. high. Have a great day chica. I love you! {{BIG Hugs!!!}}

Well, I can't believe Lucy's 6 month portrait session went so well today considering she was up screaming & crying half the night & I still don't know why. But...don't tell Lily that her little sister has her own featured spot on mommy*'s website! Enjoy!!

OH!! Looking at the beautiful & bright colors of these pics get me excited for Spring. So don't forget to schedule sessions for your little ones & get portraits in their Easter outfits since you or maybe Nana spent the money on them or as the tree's start to blossom get some outdoor & updated pics of your family. Also...know of any high school students who will be graduating next year? Or any family members looking to capture wedding memories, but save some money. Please refer me AND...get yourself 20% off your next session with Star Portraits after your referrals session is complete.

Happy Birthday Lucy Carolena!

I can't believe my beautiful baby girl is 1/2 a year old today! I'm soo blessed with 2 wonderful little girls & to have been home with them for the past 6 months. I Love Lucy! Or as Lily likes to tell people, "This is my sister. Lucky...Lucky in the sky" Because she stilll can't or won't say Lucy & we sing "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds." So Lucky In the Sky will forever be her nickname. BIG kisses to my happy girls Lucky & Lillly.
