OOPS...my bad!

I would like to publicly apologize to my FIFTH reader - my sister Sarah, who lives in the Philippines. :) I had assumed that she never "bothered" to check in (since she's never left a comment before) but that assumption was in error. (You know what assuming does, right?) So anyways - SORRY SARAH! :) I'm kidding though - I fully realize that you are waiting like 30 minutes for my blog to even LOAD the pictures, and I appreciate you being willing to wait that long to see them. :) Since I'm apologizing, I should probably tell you that my statement of "four readers" is a bit of an understatement. I also know that I have at least two readers in Norway - THANK YOU NORWEGIAN FAMILY! - and also a reader up North - shout out to Kate! :) There might be a couple more of you as well.....THANKS! :) I didn't mean to exclude any of you - I said it for the comedic effect - probably shouldn't have though - I really do love that there are several of you who check in on me! :D TELL YOUR FRIENDS - haha! ;)

For Heather . . .

First of all, I apologize to my 4 blog readers (thanks mom, grandma, Jess & Veronica!) - I'm posting yet again about Heather. :) Finished up some pictures of her and Dave and I had nothing ELSE to do with them but share! It helps that they're easy on the eyes . . . so if the pictures DO hurt you to look at them you can totally blame it on my processing - I MIGHT have gone a little overboard with a couple! (what can I say, I pretty much do everything overboard...)

We did these pictures the day before H & D left - it was stinking HOT outside but I was excited to practice on them . . . and excited because I knew Heather would take pictures of my hubby & I - our first photo session together EVER! :) To see the first one bigger click here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2104/2396882815_7b167d0ef1_o.jpg

My little buddy

This is my buddy, V. Isn't he cute??

He came over the other day and I couldn't help myself - I mean seriously, LOOK at his smile!! Could you resist this face??

I just wanna SQUEEEEEZE him! Anyways, I just wanted to share because . . . I can't help myself. I'm just very needy when it comes to this sort of thing. I NEEEEEED people to see how stinkin' cute these kids are! :)

Veronica & Isaac, yall have made one SUPER DUPER handsome dude - and thanks for bringing him over from time to time!! :D

OH, and congratulations Baby V on figuring out "the wave" :)

The many sides of Heather

Dave and Heather were here for 9 days. It flew by - WAY too fast - but not so fast that we couldn't take a ton of silly pictures! Here is how I've spent the last hour - sad eh?? But I know Heather has been DYING to see her portraits . . . this girl is one of my favorite people. She is actually MORE fun in real life than her pictures show - can you believe that?? :) I can totally see why Dave (my cousin) married her - ya done well, Dave!!

And without further ado.....I present....Heather. :) By the way, the image probably will not fit completely on the screen. Click on this -http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2243/2385322391_048c8ec420_b.jpg and you will be taken to the image....in its entirety. :) (NICE and BIG)...

Heart 2 Heart

A little over a month ago I was contacted by a birth center here in Central Florida - called Heart 2 Heart. They asked me if I was interested in working with them to provide photography to their clients as well as display some of my artwork in their office. I jumped at the oppertunity and we got together to discuss it. One of my favorite pieces is hanging in their office - so if you happen to be there for any reason, look for it! It is the image below.

Since talking with Michelle, I've been incredibly busy and have intended to post something about this on my blog - but THANK YOU ... a HUGE thank you to Michelle & the ladies at Heart 2 Heart for giving me the oppertunity to display my images and for wanting to work with me! I'm so excited to be a little involved in what you ladies do at the birth center! Shortly there should be a link from my website that you can follow to theirs - or you can go over to the right and check them out - they are the top link in my set of "Check 'em out!" links. (FYI - all of the things I think are worth taking a look at!)

Here is a blurb from their website about what they do at Heart 2 Heart. :)

Heart 2 Heart Birth Center is dedicated to making every pregnancy and birth the best experience possible by pampering mom the whole nine months. Experience the highest level of midwifery care while still enjoying the personal one on one care that you can only receive from midwives. Every mom deserves the best. Every mom deserves Heart 2 Heart Birth Center.

Heart 2 Heart Birth Center is conveniently located in Seminole County, in the Historical District of Old Sanford. Just minutes from Volusia County or Orange County, our midwives have been serving Seminole, Volusia, Brevard, Orange, Lake, and Sumter Counties for almost 20 years in homebirth practices.
