Welcome to my blog in progress!



Who am I?

I am a mother with a passion for photography. I love everything about taking pictures. Whether it's seeing smiling faces, capturing that special moment in time or even uploading the pictures on to my computer I just love everything about it. It makes me happy. :o) (and I have 4 boys so there are lots of moments to capture around here!)

I am an optimist. I can't help it, it's just who I am. No matter what is happening in my life, I know that something good will come out of it somehow. It always does! The universe has a magical way of working things out.

Sometimes when you play with a toy enough, it starts to look like you. :)

      My boys LOVE legos.  I can't even tell you how many hours they have spent together building and imaging.  They like when I build with them but I can only make a rectangle and then when I touch anything made of lego's it seems to explode into 1,000 pieces, sigh.......
      The good news is that I am pretty good at taking pics of their projects they make and they love that!  My son Toby made this version of my son Avery one day and it was so funny! His imagination is priceless! Enjoy my collage and when you are done don't forget to go to I heart faces to see some more fun photo stories!

Is it a lake or is it love?

I absolutely adore Lake Michigan.  I feel so lucky that I live so near such a treasure!  Walking on the beach makes everything in my world okay for the time that I am there.  We bring our 4 boys there quite frequently and the words "I'm bored" has never even crossed their lips once.  We swim, make sand castles and sculptures, dig holes and soak up the sun.  A warm breeze is usually kissing our faces.  It's a different lake each time we go.  One day it will have big waves that we ride on like a wave pool and the next it will be calm and clear revealing all of the colorful rocks and fossils that we treasure hunt for.  Going to the beach is our way of unplugging from the world.  No t.v's, no movies and more important NO XBOX!  I feel so relaxed riding home at the end of the day at the beach.....I  Lake Michigan. :)

Oh and by the way, the beach is an amazingly gorgeous place to take lots and lots of pictures! Here is one of my four boys. Enjoy!  ;)
