WAY BACK WHENSDAY...

About 3 years ago on a pretty afternoon, much like today, I took my little sweetheart outside. I grabbed the camera and a white wicker chair from my studio. These images were some of my favs.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

FROM NATALIE!

This photos are in reverse order, but that's okay because I wanted the last one to be first since the first one isn't so sharp! I can't seem to always get a sharp image when dealing with "my family". I had this package fixed and meant to mail to Natalie before the end of the week, but I had forgot. Friday I realized that St. Patrick's Day was Tuesday... after asking Randy to mail it for me when he went to town, I changed my mind. So he wanted to tell her we just mailed it here! I know.. it doesn't really make since. But she loves her packages. And as you can see in this photo [above], she loves to pose too!

After Valentine's I saw these green M&M's on sale...so yes, St. Patrick's Day came to my mind. So I also bought a St. Patrick's Day card the same day (a month before the holiday...so not like me...though waiting to the last minute to send...so much me!).

So I had a package full of green in mind for the St. Patrick's Day surprize: green M&M's, green cash, a cutsie card, and a green dress that I wanted her to wear today. It was probably too cool to wear. I will find out later if she wore it!

Look at the expression on her face! She has seen this dress and wore it once, but you would think it is an article of clothing that she has really been wanting. I love her exuberance!

The not so sharp image: Poppa helping Natalie open her package!

HAVE A GREAT ST. PATRICK'S DAY! I HOPE YOU WORE YOU'RE GREEN!

One-Year Ago Today, March 16, 2008...

MARCH 16, 2008

Natalie joined her mommy and daddy in many of their engagement portraits. This was one of my favorites. I think this image will always be one of my favs. They officially became a family approximately two and half months later sharing the same name...our family name!

I love these three so much!

Sort of Sad Saturday...

I did the pro-version first. But I wanted to do this with some images that aren't quite professional, but still very precious to me. This is Natalie wearing a dress that was Cari's. It is a precious pink corduroy dress.

And yes...I am going to say it again, it is sort of sad that babies go from this...

...to this in less than three short years.

They grow up so fast. To see SORT OF SAD SATURDAY on Jami Ainsworth Portraits click: HERE!

I've said this before I miss the little baby that she was, but I adore the little girl she has become.

FRIDAY THE 13th...FLASHBACK FRIDAY:

This photos was taken exactly three years ago today, March 13, 2006. My! Things can and do change so fast in three years!

Those eyes just melt my heart. You gotta love that she had enough hair for a bow!

okay...I did this long post about Natalie at Carlie's Party with a very intersting title, MUSTARD IN YOUR TEA? If you don't blog, I will tell you now..."it is a lot of trouble to re-do this to the appropriate blog"...if there is an easy way and someone knows it, please share. So to read this post, use the link that I provided (the title).

I am sure I have other photos from holidays like Christmas, but as you may know...I am not too good as posting Christmas images because I am looney before, during and after Christmas...by the time I re-cover...it's time to move on to Valentines or Easter!

Sorry for the goof up! But, hey! That's me!
