Love that song...especially during the scene where Eric Stoltz, Emma Thompson and Mary Stuart Masterson were getting ready for THE BIG DATE. Classic. Love it. But I digress...

I had a lot of fun with this beautiful soon-to-be HS graduate. From Amanda's gorgeous smile and laid back demeanor, you couldn't even tell that it was absolutely f-r-e-e-e-e-e-z-i-n-g!!! 

This is only a sneak peek...more to come soon!

I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly jimsonweed
Back in the saddle again

~Gene Autry

After a few weeks of self-imposed hiatus, I'm back! The time off has really helped to clear and reset my brain. So here's today's Tips + Tricks (and sort of a resolution really): SLOW DOWN, CLOSE YOUR EYES, and TAKE A DEEP BREATH (or two). Even if it means ducking into the bathroom for some quiet time away from a gaggle of children who are excited to get back to school and see their friends :-) You will be the better for it.

I know with this unpredictable wintry weather, it is hard to imagine Spring is almost here. But it is not too early to start thinking about Spring Photo Sessions! Pretty pastels and darling frocks...can't wait! Sooo...email me if you'd like to schedule a Spring Signature Photo Session or stick around for more info on this year's Spring Minis.

Happy belated New Year!!!
