Fabulous sister session preview...

Today's session was way to fun & fabulous! These two sisters were just a kick to shoot! I did a family session with their wonderful parents but mama "T", I gotta tell you...your girl's stole the show! Check out these shots I got of each of them! This is just a quick sneak peek but I had to post these for now... MANY MORE TO COME! And, the lavender rainbow pettiskirts sets were just perfect for these girl's.

Enjoy,

Baby Grace is 6 months old today...

Yes, my baby is 6 months old today! It has been such a wonderful last 6 months and we enjoy her more every day and love her more everyday! My oldest daughter, Faith is off to Kindergarten in a week and my baby is six months...wow, life moves way to fast! I am so blessed and just had to share a little mini-session photo I took of Grace earlier today. I got these hats from a fabulous designer and am loving them all...more of them to come in future sessions.

Happy 6 month Birthday to my sweet little Gracie!!

Oh, and I have been working hard on my photography website and it will be going LIVE very soon so stay tuned for that!

Have a wonderful weekend,
Melinda

Faith is five...yes, 5 years old!

This begins my blogging about oldest daughter Faith, and her week before turning five years old and it will continue with photos of her big Birthday Bash as well as the exciting weekend and all our celebrations for her. Bear with me as I share a lot of wonderful shots I got of her these last few weeks. Oh, and I must plug TRA Totally Rad Actions I bought these actions for Photoshop and am lovin' playing with them...they make my pictures really come alive...in this shot, I used a "warming action" and it just feels so good to me- what do YOU think?

Here is a beautiful shot I took of Faith on her actual birthday...Happy 5th Birthday Faith! Love,Mom xxxx

Gracie is growing up...

My little newborn baby; Grace, is growing up so fast- too fast! It seems like yesterday she was growing in my belly and now she is trying to crawl! YIKES! She is eating solids a little now (rice cereal and baby banana's once a day) but she is just doing everything crazy fast! She is 5 months now (WOW) and what is even wilder is that her BIG SISTER Faith is turning 5 years old tomorrow!! Well, thought I better post of few cute shots I took of Grace today since the next few weeks I am sure I will be blogging Faith's birthday and party and everything.

Independence Day!

We had a spectacular 4th of July this year up in Oregon with ALL the family from my side; my two brother's and one sister and their spouses and kids; cousins and my parents...10 Grand-kids on my side- my parents are very blessed and of course; my husband, my two girl's and me, Needless to say, it was a fun filled fabulous time. Here are a few shots I took while we were there (yes, I am a little behind on editing and posting but hey- it is summer!) and I am enjoying every minute of it this year with both my girl's.

Enjoy,

Dream Ballet

I finally am getting a chance to upload, convert and do some quick editing on a couple photos I took of Faith and her Ballet class doing their routine at the BIG dance recital a few weeks ago. They did a sweet little number called "Dream Ballet" and it was very cute. Faith has been dancing ballet since she was 2 years old (she is almost 5 now!) and loves it. This is her third recital and she is getting so good not to mention she just loves to dance and sing. She is quite the little performer. Her class this last year was small so you see just four of her little friends; dance girlfriends doing there thing and they all did wonderful. MY DAUGHTER FAITH IS THE ONE TO THE FAR RIGHT JUST IN CASE YOU DID NOT KNOW! ;)

Also, here is a pic I got of the teacher also performing in the recital.

Enjoy the pictures and I will be posting some spectacular shots I took this last weekend of the 4th of July up in Oregon with my family as well as extended family doing fireworks and having a blast, so check back for those soon.
