watching daddy

These are my favorite moments to capture! When Addi has no clue mama is taking her picture- and shes just there in her own little world. I saw her watching her daddy work on the push mower out the window today and just had to run for my camera. :)


"When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang up my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I knew that little things are special things.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I believed there is a God I could always talk to.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss me goodnight, and I felt loved.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I LOOKED....and wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking."

Little girl

Everytime I've walked by Addi's room since sunday I've been wanting to snap some pics of this dress hanging on her door. I grabbed it at a thrift store sunday- its a size 24 months. (hehe) Pink & polka dotted- had to have it. I havent been able to bring myself to hang it in her closet.... I just love the feel of it hanging on her door. Its like everytime I pass her room- I'm reminded theres a little girl in there. My little girl :) I'm sure there will be many more pics of this dress in the future- but for now its gonna hang right here....

-Something beautiful-

Thanks Michele for choosing me yet again to capture one of the most beautiful moments in your life. I cant wait to meet the little guy!!

stirring inside...
when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the
very first time,
and a playful kick reminds her that she
is never alone."
