A brave boy and his baby sister...

Here are just a few shots (lots more to come) of a very brave boy named Giovanni! G is fighting Leukemia; Cancer and at the young age of just five years old- he is handling it with amazing courage and strength and so far he is winning but not without some tough times for this sweet boy and his equally strong parents; Bret & Suzanna as well as his angelic Baby Sister Isabella just three months old. Needless to say, this family is going through a very rough patch. Right now, neither parent is employed and as you can imagine...this family needs our help. I am blessed to know them through a close friend of mine, Lisa...the sister to Giovanni's Dad and Aunt to the children. Last weekend, I got to take some beautiful photos of the kids and here are just a few for now. I want to also include the link to G's website where you can also donate to his family for his care- they are in need and those of us that are fortunate and have the resources to help them out just should...period! So, please enjoy the photos and then click the link to his website where you can offer to donate any amount of money you can to help this special family in need out, please!?

Baseballs, Boys, Babies and Bunches...

Today was a busy day for me! First off, I got to spend a wonderful lunch with my fabulous family and that is the single best thing of my day but I also got to do a ton of shooting today from sweet little newborn babies to baseball teams and everything in between it seemed...lucky,lucky me! Here is just a couple shots of a very fun family I shot this evening. Hope you like your sneak peek "W" family. And this week I will have some previews of the other two sessions I did today but my brain is turning to mush as I am so tired so this little peek is all I can show you for now.

Goodnight,
Melinda

Milestones...

Baby Grace (my youngest daughter) just turned eight months old last week. She is such a sweet baby, so full of energy and character. This last weekend she started sitting up all by herself (with a tiny bit of help from her sister Faith) and it opens up a whole new world of photography posing for me-yay! So , here are just a couple shots I snapped of her showing off her new milestone. Oh, and for all of our friends and family that have expressed your love and support in her tough hospitalization, she has been given a clean bill of health so we are very relieved to share that news and again, thank you for your love and prayers.

Enjoy the pictures and please leave me some blog love!?

Siblings...

Here is just one really special shot that I got at a family portrait session of a really sweet family today, so patient and nice. I love it when clients become "friends", and I have a feeling that Mama "K" and I are going to be good friends. This picture is super special to us all because it was tough to get the "sibling shot"... we worked our butts off to do it and this shot came out cuter than expected so I hope you love it as much as I do! Lots more to come but enjoy a little sneak peek for now.

Boys,Boys,Boys!

Super fun shoot I did today! Beautiful family inside and out and just relaxed and easy going too, beautiful day- the weather was perfect for a mid-day shoot. I love it when I get a family like this! Another neat thing for me, being a Mom to two little girl's, was that this family was all BOYS with the exception of one stunning lady; Mom; Rebecca (You Rock!) and for me is was such a kick to shoot boys and these boys are both so handsome, full of life and energy and this family is just so full of love- you could feel the love in this family...such great energy. So, I just could not wait to get home and upload their session photos and edit a few to post for a "sneak peek" here on my BLOG before going to bed. Hope you all enjoy them and there are many more to come! And, I have two more sessions tomorrow, so watch this week for lots of bloggage from me!
