what a wonderful world.

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

guest post by lil bit.

she never can seem to get it together.

either she has the good outfit on me and forgets to do my moptop hair, or she does the hair and she forgets  the camera or it's days like today where she just happens to have the camera, forgets to do my hair and i still have the pajamas on.  and sometimes it's then when we (or ms. jessica saaaaays...) get the perfect picture.  isn't that life, though?
so we...


jump for joy and smile for the camera...

but before we begin, we start out with a little yoga...

kiss the dog for good luck...

and do everything we can to avoid looking at the camera.

even if the four leave clovers decide the hold on to their four leaves no matter how hard we blow...


but at the end of the morning, really we are just thrilled that the camera was avoided at all cost.


happy thursday.  i gotsta go take the camera away from ms. jessica now...

six months!

recently, i got together with my friend angel and met her little prince and took his pictures.  what we thought would be a leisurely day turned into our park where we were shooting being closed and the sweet lady that owned the area breathing down our backs watching our every move...

but when you have a baby...people are a little more patient...and when you have a baby as cute as this guy AND a large camera --- she let us stay.

but then the little guy was over the shoot before it started...

here are my favorites.  i mean, his face.  is it not the sweetest?  and here's the thing, if he's anything like his mama, he will be one sweet boy.

what a fun early morning.

 sometimes when i am shooting babies, i think...what if this were an adult?

 and then i crack myself up.

 there is SOOOO much wrong with this picture, BUT i ADORE it.

he was OVER me.  and the whole setting him in wet grass.

 this is his, "why thank you for the chair AND the clothes...you shouldn't have" look.

"sike."

"lady with the large camera.

mom.

OVER.  IT."
