		<description><![CDATA[I've always wanted to shoot in this area and E and B were willing to troop all over the place with me! The colors and textures are fantastic - a photographer's dream! E is due any day now with her first baby and the two of them couldn't be any cuter. Makes me long for that first newborn experience again (just a little). Plus, could they be any more gorgeous? I can't wait to meet their little guy in the next few weeks and he will definitely have a starring role here! Now that spring's here, I'm gearing up for sessions again! So, hopefully my poor blog won't be so abandoned!]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Big brother M and little brother E couldn&#8217;t be sweeter. M is so sweet and kind to his little brother &#8211; he really wanted to take pictures with little E.  I had a great time talking with M. After he told me that his favorite color was black and that he liked to play air keyboards, I had to stop in a (not so nicely smelling) alley for an impromptu &#8220;air&#8221; concert. I LOVE the concentration!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh my goodness, little Miss T was 9 pounds and seven ounces of pure perfection. Look at those lips and that hair. Plus, she was a dream to photograph &#8211; either sleeping, eating or calmly staring at the camera!</p>
<p>This baby girl&#8217;s parents won my services at an auction for our neighborhood school and meeting her mom while she was pregnant, I knew she would have a gorgeous baby! I had a great day with her family, even getting little brother B in on the action. He is going to be a great big brother. I bet he is getting lots of attention from his grandmother. The unusually large number of images in this sneak peek are just for Grandma since M told me that she doesn&#8217;t have a computer and also because several of the images were taken on her mother&#8217;s afghan (that&#8217;s your great-grandmother, Miss T!). I love it when clients use meaningful blankets or other items in their images.</p>
<p>Hope you love them A Family! There are so many beautiful ones still to come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The blog has been quiet, but my schedule has not! I&#8217;m gearing up for the fall/holiday rush and can&#8217;t wait to capture all kinds of gorgeous fall images. Now if only the weather would cooperate. Rain, rain, go away!</p>
<p>I got lucky with one of my favorite families and we had a beautiful day. I&#8217;ve been so fortunate to take pictures of little Miss M as a newborn, at seven months and now, at a year! It is so much fun to see how much she&#8217;s changed!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to keep this short and sweet because you&#8217;re really here to see the pictures and I&#8217;ve got galleries galore to get up.  I&#8217;m going to try to get up some catch-up images from the sessions I&#8217;ve been doing over the past few months very soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Little Mr. P was a photographer&#8217;s dream! There are just some babies who make my job so easy. He slept, slept and then, slept some more. It was one of those sessions where I couldn&#8217;t pick what to post here. Just too many! I knew I would like C &amp; D right from the start. How sweet is this? D called me to purchase this session as a Mother&#8217;s Day present for C &#8211; definitely have to like a husband like that!</p>
<p>It was so great meeting both of you finally. (You know I had to include one of your first &#8220;baby.&#8221;)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, this isn&#8217;t going to go down as the most fabulous birthday in my lifetime.  I&#8217;m still sick with this awful virus.  Luckily, L is on the mend and G is at her grammy and papa&#8217;s, so she&#8217;s having fun.</p>
<p>I did leave the house for about an hour (first time in about 2 1/2 weeks besides doctor&#8217;s visits and quick trips to the grocery store).  I picked myself up a little present from my wonderful husband &#8211; a Blackberry <img onclick="grin(':mrgreen:');" src="../wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" /> and a new router since we&#8217;ve been without our dsl service for a bit.  Then, I rushed home to rest up from my big adventure.</p>
<p>I think this is going to be a great year.  I feel like I&#8217;ve come so far with my photography, the girls are getting big enough to be just a little more independent, and things just seem to be coming together nicely.  Hope my hunch is right <img onclick="grin(':wink:');" src="../wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" /></p>
<p>I have a few goals set for this year, but I think I&#8217;ll keep them in a safe place away from the harsh light of reality.</p>
<p>The website has been put on hold for a bit while I&#8217;ve been sick, but I&#8217;m hoping to finish it up enough to publish the website address to my friends and family in the next day or so.  I really wanted to get it out on my birthday, but I decided to hold off so I can really be proud of it!  I&#8217;m also finishing up pictures of two gorgeous newborns and a lovely maternity shoot.   Don&#8217;t worry, I haven&#8217;t forgotten about you mamas, it&#8217;s just been too sickly over here and I haven&#8217;t had time to work on anything for almost 2 weeks.  Being a nursemaid and then, a patient has really taken a bite out of my creativity!</p>
<p>At least we&#8217;ve decided on a rain date for me &#8211; July 22 is my alternate birthday this year.  Hopefully, I&#8217;ll feel better by then!</p>
<p>Pictures tomorrow I promise.</p>
