Happy 1st Birthday son!

February 24, 2010

Wow, I can’t believe a year has gone by since the day my little baby came into this world!!! I am incredibly thankful that God sent us this little buddy to play with. I absolutely love being able to be at home with him and enjoy his first year. I got to tell you, those first few months were hard after he was born…I mean I guess I really did not realize what it is like to fully care for someone. He is a person that needs attention and You are the one to provide it! You also get to play with them & love them!

I am incredibly that we have had a great first year, and hope to have many more years filled with fun smiles, games & learning lots from him! Thanks you dear Lord for him!

Today was an amazing day! We had about 3 inches of snow here at the beach! We get a very small amount every year, but I think this was one of the “heaviest” storms that we have experienced in the last 10 years or so!! Anyways, it was so beautiful!! We got up very early at like 4 am and made the mistake to look out the window and see how awesome it looked. Immediately my husband ( who is crazy about the snow) was ready to go out and play! It was extremely difficult to try to get him back to bed and wait until the morning. Of course, he woke up at about 6am and ready to go out. We finally made our way to the beautiful outside at about 7:30 or so.

This was such a great treat from God, seriusly!!Here, I’ll just show you:

His look is just captivating....so vulnerable, so soft, so delicate...there are no words to describe how perfect he looks then...but I am glad I can look back at it anytime...

We are happy...

What is your inspiration?

February 10, 2010

His name is Miles, weighs about 25lbs, measures about one foot and 1/2 and although he is a little baby he has the funniest personality! I guess I did not know that he would have his own likes and dislikes, just like a normal person! He IS a person, just little for now. Today, I have been thinking of the reasons that I became a photographer–and there are so many of them but the most important one has been to document my baby’s life! 2009 was a year of change for me! Miles was born in February and literally 4 weeks later the wedding season hit full steam and between shooting weddings, assisting other photographers I came to realize that my main inspiration is to be the best I can be is my son. I have learned an incredible amount of information ever since he was born, but what I learned was to prioritize my life. I realize that photography is very important to me, but not more than Miles and the love that I feel for him, for that reason I decided to become better in everything that I do. Not that I have it down or anything, but I am trying, you know?!

We are learning everyday to be the best parents that we can be! Its a lot harder than I thought it would be, from changing diapers, to doing laundry, to replying emails, to meeting clients,  editing weddings, having dinner ready…etc! I could go all day listing all the crazy things that I have to keep up with, but then I think of all the other million women who do this everyday! Not necessarily the photography part, but keeping a household together is a great amount of responsibilities. Well, just the tought of that, makes me want to push myself even harder!

So, for today, there are no fancy pictures, just one…a perfect photo of my child, who pushes me everyday..( and he starts every people, like 7am!) but anyhow…I have learned how to be a mommy, a better photographer and a better business owner. I ask you now, what inspires you?? It is it your job, your kids, your husband, your dog..? Please leave a comment about what gets you moving everyday!

Thanks for reading y’all!!
