Back on track

K I am back on track, Christmas got me in a frenzy, with wrap this, hangn' out here and two photo shoots this weekend... The kids had a great Christmas got so much stuff that sometimes I wonder why "Santa" brings so much lol!!! To see their happy faces Christmas morning though was worth all the rearranging to put stuff away... not that I have done that yet but I will get there... hopefully :)!!!! So Saturday I did a shoot of the most incredible family I will add some shots below, They were so cute and really cooperative with me in ice cold water and beach winds lol... but I hope they think it was worth it.... And then today did another photo shoot for a friend and her daughter and wow is all I can say what beautiful ladies!!!! I will show you some shots of my signature poses lol....

So on the sentimental side cause you know I like to give a little of my soul on this page.... I can say this weekend has been so busy, I haven't had much time to think of writing or lost loves or even doing the laundry, but their was this one moment when I was doing the family shots down at hotel Del (where I had only been there one other time with the past) and I thought I am standing here looking at these amazing lights and my heart sank... I looked around and thought to myself how many lost moments we had, so many what if's and could has.... I smiled cause even though she wasn't there with me, I made the memory in my head and smiled at the thought that in that moment she was on my mind and that connected me to many amazing memories, incredible feelings and a love that doesn't die just cause she left!!! I walked away from that moment not sad or hurt, but with a sense of accomplishment. I could have walked way depressed and sad but I lifted my head acknowledged the moment within my heart. My past can haunt me, it does everyday, from Carri to Dylan...but our choices are choices we made them and we can't take them back, I can't go into the past and change moments to alter my future, I can't stop those people from leaving or their feelings for me but I can forgive and use that to build strength.... because those moments lead me where I am today and will lead me to the road that will find me happiness!!!!


OH ..... P.S. Some of my signature shots from this weekend...

This is the family collage I did for Erin's adorable family....(I did this in black and white too it looked so awesome!!!)

So on this pose I totally wanted to do it but didn't want to ask Matt if he was comfortable with it so minutes before we were wrapping up he said hey would you mind doing one with her on my back.... its one of my fav's!!!!
of course a bottom shot my favorite... with heart in the sand!!!

These are from Jen's shoot today, I haven't edited all of them yet but these are some of my bottom shots that I just love.....



These families reminded me that love does exist in all sorts of ways, that families aren't just made up of the traditional mom & dad and kids but a family comes in so many different ways and has this amazing power to touch your soul..... nite! :)
