Quote of the day:

"Each photograph is a story captured in a single moment"

Author: M.Lopez


Photography is capturing the extraordinary meaning in each ordinary moment, and weaving these strands together to tell a story – your story - to hold, to share, to remember.

Today- I'm thankful

Someone I briefly came to know lost her battle with cancer... a young first time mother.....who was diagnosed with cancer when her daughter was a few months old. She leaves behind a precious baby girl who is close in age with my own Addi. It really hit home to me.. and my heart is broken for that family. But- most of all.... my heart is broken for Kathy.... the things she will miss...... her little girls childhood..... the laughs.. the memories.

I turned 28 today..... and today- I'm thankful. I dont care about gifts.... or even a cake. I dont care that there is a sinkful of dishes calling my name... or that my hamper upstairs is flowing over with laundry.. Today- I'm going to celebrate my life- another day with my husband- children and friends. I'm going to celebrate living.... who cares about my weight today... or that being 28 means I'm closer to 30... I'll probably eat more than I should today- but who cares? I'm going to enjoy today- I'm not going to worry about the crumbs on the floor- I'm going to treasure my family..... and thank God for another year... another day... another moment... of life.

Today- I'M THANKFUL!!!!! & I'm going to celebrate life!
