RANDOM THOUGHTS. RANDOM SHOTS.

Green vase I got for a dollar at the DI. Such a beautiful piece of art. I have a couple of different vases and rarely do I put flowers in them. I don't know why but I like the look of a vase, just by itself. They may have been made for flowers but I think they are gorgeous without them.

I love coffee. I drink it every morning and sometimes in the afternoon. Also, it is fair to say that I am hooked on coffee mugs. Love to buy a new mug or two or three almost every time I go shopping. I have way too many to count and it's getting a little out of hand. I would probably be consider a Hoarder when it comes to mugs. To me, they are not just something to drink out of. They are a work of art.

My green tea pot. Love this thing. I have had it for the longest time and I refuse to replace it. I actually just bought a brand new red teapot and I still feel like there is no way I could ever betray my teapot by using the brand new, beautiful red, whistling heating machine. Maybe, I will just trade off so I can still have my old and new and get use out of both. 

 

Prop used for Easter Wonderland Photo Shoot. Now used for eating candy and then refilling with more candy.

Vibrant red dressed, pregnant, day of the dead doll. Avi bought me this when he went out of town as a souvenir. I know, some people may find it weird or even creepy. Me? I absolutely love it. The second he handed it to me I thought this is the coolest pregnant doll ever.

Ava and I were looking out the window at the snow. Crystal ice sprinkled throughout the fluffy powder. So beautiful. I love snow. 'Nuff said.

SLEEPING BEAUTY

If you are a mother, or a father, there are moments that happen with your child that melt your heart completely. Moments that make you stop and realize just how much you truly LOVE your child. It can be something huge like their first steps, first word, or even something small like a smile or a giggle. This last week I was in awe of my baby girl and it was just because she fell asleep, on our bed, while I was working and she was playing. I look over and BAM she is out. I was completely lost in her. Just staring at her. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. Peacefully sleeping. Her breathing so soft and her face so innocent. I was completely pulled away from my computer and lost in her. So, naturally I had to get some photos. I crept into our living room, grabbed the camera and crept back into our bedroom. Trying to be so quiet. I would have been devastated if I had awaken her while grabbing my camera. Luckily, I didn't. I think I took about 20-25 shots. I couldn't stop. She was so perfect. As I was taking pictures of her, a couple of times she actually opened her eyes and stared at me, then closed them again. It was so special and one of the best moments I have had lately. She truly is my sleeping beauty and my wildly, beautiful and sweet child. Oh, child of mine. You are mine and daddy's greatest accomplishment. We love you so much.

SOON TO BE MRS. VICTORIA FOX

Here comes the Bridals! Wow, they are gorgeous! Tori, you looked so beautiful in your wedding dress and projected so much confidence, elegance, and still managed to be fun and YOU at the same time. I loved the elegance of your wedding dress, with the craziness of your tights, shoes and Roller Derby skates and helmet. It made for such an interesting, colorful and very uniquely Tori Bridal Shoot. I loved every minute of it and I think the pictures turned out great. I hope you love them as much as I do. It was a blast and now I am thinking "Hell ya, bring on the wedding!". I love you and Dayne and I can not wait for the Big Day.

STRENGTH, HARD WORK, AND DETERMINATION EQUALS SUCCESS

I want to be strong. Physically, mentally, emotionally strong. Strong in every way possible. I want to strive for the goals I have set. Work hard for them, towards them, and never give up. I want to have determination to follow through with my path. Determination to accomplish something better, something greater, something defining. I want Success. So bad I can taste it. I want to explode over night and live for every moment I am given to make a difference, to change a life, to change my life. To live life in the moment always but strive for future goals to make new moments to live in. I am strong, I work hard and most of all I am determined. It is okay to struggle and to feel "weak" at times, that is when you need Strength, Hard Work and Determination the most. I just want people to know that. I feel "weak" sometimes, and STRONG sometimes. Never give up. Never give up on yourself, your work, your goals, your future. Never give up on your family, friends, loved ones. Just know everyone feels both their strengths and weaknesses at some point and time. Just keep on pushing and I just know something great will happen.

A MAN, LADY, AND A BLUE EYED BABY

So this was my last free session and I enjoyed every minute of it. Going to the park with Evan, Joey and Kayson to take their pictures could not have been more perfect. The weather was nice, the sky was blue and vibrant, and capturing you guys playing with Kayson was just right. Kayson was so adorable, giving me those shy little glances, looking up at the camera with his precious blue eyes and sweet smile. What a gorgeous little family you are. I am so happy and feel so blessed to have you in my life. I hope you three enjoyed it as much as I did. Thank you for taking the time with me and letting me photograph you. I love you all very much and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.
