happy birthday to you....
happy birthday to you...
happy birthday dear jason and 'daddy'
happy birthday to you!


love you and so glad we're best friends...


working on some dramatic lighting in this pic--the shadows are a bit too dark--but j likes it...

we went to the gardens on saturday....so beautiful. gracen loves it! she can just walk around and explore. she likes the bleeding hearts and loves picking up little or 'big' rocks along the way, too.
so delighted she actually looked at the camera and smiled! that doesn't always happen!

so love my family! they are such a blessing!!!

I love the moody effect of the lighting in the shot of your hubby. Amazing really....beautiful portrait.

She is getting so so big too! I cannot get over how she is growing up. I love the first shot of her under the tree.
