The other day I arrived early to my on-location engagement session. As I drove along, I noticed the beauty and serenity of the early morning fog that had settled. I knew it was going to be a wonderful day.
What is your favorite thing about the early morning hours? Do you grab a cup of coffee and read the newspaper? Do you pull the covers over your head to muffle the sound of birds chirping outside your window? The latter usually describes what I do whenever I get the chance, but now that I’ve seen this amazing morning light, I’m definitely excited to get out the door early to capture more scenes like this!
Happy Birthday to the most wonderful man in the universe! Today’s is my husband’s birthday, and I plan to spoil him rotten! Reggie makes me laugh, even when I don’t feel like laughing. His warm hugs melt away a long day’s stress. His smile is contagious. His eyes sparkle with hope and enthusiasm, even on the most cloudy days. Although Reggie is a great storyteller, he’s an even better listener. His hard work and dedication to his passion as an entrepreneur is inspiring and refreshing. He creates his own path while pursuing his dreams. I’m so very proud to call him my husband…I feel like the luckiest woman ever. Happy Birthday, Reggie! I love you!
As some of you know, I take photos of Reggie for his blog. I thought it would be fun to show you some of my favorite images of him in action at Reggie’s Motorworks, where he focuses primarily on BMW, as well as Mini, Audi, and Volkswagon. Be sure to visit www.reggiesmotorworks.com for more details!
A few weeks ago, my parents planted some peonies in our yard. These peonies are very special for several reasons. Their delicate beauty and fresh scent remind me of childhood, summer time, and feeling carefree. Many of our relatives have these in their landscaping, and now my husband and I have a little piece of that history in common with them. And I had gorgeous white peonies in my wedding bouquet because of the aforementioned reasons. We’re not sure if our newly planted peonies will bloom this season, after the shock of being transplanted, so we’ll see. I did find this peony, located just outside my husband’s shop. As the sun was setting in the evening sky, I took this photo and added a little dash of magic to give it a vintage flair.
Of all the holidays we celebrate, Mother’s Day is one of the most important. Mothers bring new life into this world, they nurture and love, with all their heart and with all their being. They heal scratched knees, hug us when we need it most, and cheer us on all the way. This describes my Mom perfectly, and I am so grateful! Mom, I wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day, and can’t wait to spend the day with you! And to my wonderful Mother-in-Law, I love you and hope to see you soon!
I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of my favorite images of mothers. I love capturing that sparkle in their eyes, the smiles, the hugs, that incredible human connection between people who love each other so deeply that it’s beyond measure.
