Happy Birthday!

I can hardly believe it was an entire year ago that I was anxiously awaiting the news that you’d said yes to Luke’s proposal.  I still remember the 3 separate texts I received from him telling us how everything went.  And then, of course, the phone call where both of you could barely catch your breath and your smiles could be heard even across the miles between us.

I look forward to years of memories to come and hope that despite the distance, we continue to grow closer as friends, as sisters! 

Happy Birthday, Ann!  Here’s to a terrific year!Ann copy

Best Shot Monday ~ Water Works

A few weeks ago a ventured away from being a snap-happy mom and explored some of my natural surroundings.  Then, of course, I became a new mom and, well, you can guess what happened.  Now I have two equally gorgeous and more-often-than-not willing models. 

Then, I remembered all the wedding pictures I shot mere days before Seneca’s arrival.  Today, between Mom and Dad’s visit, video chatting with Luke and Ann, and resting a bit before friends from church brought by dinner, I decided to take a few photos on a PS test drive.

Without a doubt, this is my absolute best shot today.  I must say I feel there’s going to be quite a learning curve for me as I fumble my way through learning the system.  But if I keep getting results that make me smile as big as this one did, it’s worth it!  Seriously, my mind reels at the child photography possibilities….
