isn’t is wonderful???

September 27, 2008

being a mommy (or daddy). i love…. how my girls fit just perfectly in my lap and arms. how they know when to kiss me. how they are there when i need them and even when i don’t. how i can feel their love when they hug me and see it when i look in their eyes. how i know that they are mine and i am thiers. how i know i will be with them forever. oh, how grateful i am for my girls. i have to remind myself that once in a while because it is easy to take them forgranted. i am so happy that i am able to be home with them almost all the time. i am able to walk jayde to and from school everyday. i am able to volunteer at her school and take her to dance class and piano. i get to spend the day with savana and just love her and teach her. i get to be there for the little things in their lives that may not seem to matter that much, but they do. it is the best!!! i love my girls and hope that i never take them forgranted because before i know it, i will blink and they will be getting married. i love you jayde and savana. you are my life and i can’t imagine life without you. thanks for the good times and the bad. you’re the best!

this picture is from last year, but it is one of my very favorites! it shows both of their personalities to a t! i love it! and yes, i need to take more pictures of my kids!

Tiffany Rushforth Photography: They are sooo adorable!!

Melissa & Jonathan: Diddo that...best thing ever!

Sounds like you need #3 to share the love:)

Sherry Ward: This is seriously so adorable! The background is aweseome and goes well with the colours you CUTE girls are wearing!

Karen Jensen: That is such a sweet picture! I love your comments on being a mom.....I have three girls and I feel the exact same way! Thank you for all your comments on my blog it is very encouraging:) I love your work!!!!

Vanessa: I love this picture! Being a MOM is the greatest thing in the world! I bet you are an amazing mom!

I had to laugh at the dentist comment on my blog! I HATE the dentist! I would rather have a baby then go to the dentist ha ha. And yes sometimes getting pictures of your own little ones is a nightmare. But even just one good one is worth it :)

Thanks for all your comments! I love them! And you are AMAZING as well!

Brittney: I love this!!! It seems like your own kids are always neglected when your a photographer :)
Cute, simple and fun: great way to capture the moment!

Ketty: You are the best mom and you have wonderful kids!!!!! you are also the best photographer and like Matt would say noone tells u what to do!!!! xD- Ketty ps: mushroom, flower!!!

Brock: Number three, Melissa? Nah, Amanda needs to keep her time open for Chris, someone has to kiss his boom booms better.

Mom: Hi, Amanda! Now you know how I felt about you. You were such a wonderful little girl when you were the girls'ages. Now you know how there is nothing better than having that little hand in your to make your heart swell twice the size. I love you too with all my heart! Mom

Blush: they are such cute girls! i think all photogs need more pics of their kids :)

Thanks for stopping by in my blog and for your awesome comment! That session was actually a practice for me with night shooting and off-flash ;-) Thanks! :)

brittany and rocky got married a while back (i won’t say when because then you will know how horrible of a blogger i am :) their wedding was beautiful and holds a special place in my heart because not only did they get married but they also had brittany’s sweet daughter briley sealed to them. 5 years ago this month, we did the same thing. when i married my husband he made a commitment to love me and jayde and i know how incredibly special that is. getting married in and of itself is a beautiful thing, but when you add a child into the picture, it makes it that much sweeter. i am so excited for these three and hope they have the most wonderful life together!
















Melissa & Jonathan: That made me cry. I'm so glad we have Jayde. I can't imagine life without her (and you too:)

P.S. You get to shoot some of the most beautiful people.

Erin Langford: What a sweet little family. Beautiful wedding.

Tiffany Rushforth Photography: These are just gorgeous!
Looks like an amazing wedding!

Heather: ah, what a sweet story. Great pics as usual! :) Thanks for always commenting on my blog!

Jinksee: what a tender day this must have been. :D wonderful photos

Sherry Ward: I love the different posing! This temple is a great location to shoot. Don't you love it when you get such beautiful brides?!

Karen Jensen: Im loving this wedding the hot pink is so sassy and fun! Can i just follow you around sometime and watch you shoot? I love your work!!!

Vanessa: I think it takes a very special Man to marry these very special woman. You got some beautiful shots! I love the last one :) So Sweet.

Blush: you work it girl! love the temple shots great angles :)
