I love having these two for a session... always a fun and playful time and they have the sweetest mother/daughter relationship ever.  ♥I know that I've shared a lot on Facebook about my new studio.  And I keep promising real (not cell phone) pics of it.  I'm going to try to begin to make that happen tomorrow and take pics before my sessions begin.  Let me just share with you how prayers are being answered in my life.  A year or so ago, I was beaten down...  tired.  The photography industry has a way of doing that to you after all the years.  I LOVE meeting people, snuggling babies and hanging out with your kids and photographing them but the business side of it is hard.  I was not sure that this was where God wanted me.   But I started to pray...  and not that business would be good and I could continue doing what I LOVE but I prayed that God would put me wherever he wanted me... anywhere and doing anything.  I would follow.Well, things started to happen.  My kids are getting older and we just have too much space in this house.  I know, crazy right?!  (My husband might think I'm a little crazy too.  I could probably live in a tiny house.  Yes, even with 3 kids.  I mean, teenagers want out of the house any chance they get, right?!  They have way more of a social life than I do.)  Thoughts of selling the house brought up big questions about photography.  I've worked at home for 12 years.  Our old house is big and I've always had room for an office and studio.  Plus our yard was great for sessions all Spring, Summer & Fall.  I had NO idea where I would shoot outdoors.  So then I get a message from Danielle asking if I'd be interested in looking at some space to sublease from them.  (The Webster Athletic Club is awesome, by the way!  I totally need gym buddies to keep me motivated just as soon as the busy season is under control.}  There was a good bit of work to be done with the studio space but without a doubt, it's the answer to our prayers.  I have natural light.  It's IN town and there are WOODS!!I was crazy happy and overwhelmed by God's love and grace when I first sat at the computer and stared at these images taken right outside the doors of my studio.  I am so thankful.

When I say a newborn session is heartwarming.  I truly mean it.  I'm not sure what happens but these little miracles relax me so.  I love them.  ♥  Nothing beats baby snuggles.

I had the best time with Sara Grace at her senior session... we explored her family's place in Tomnolen, walked around Eupora and even got the very first shots taken in my new studio!  I seriously had to sweep the dust before she sat down and leaned against the brick wall. ;)  (But I promise it's not so dusty now but that's an entire blog post on its own!)  Here are just a few of my favorites!  She's SO photogenic.  It was really hard to narrow them down!  ♥
