Moving on

Hello friends,

I'm still here....

  Sometimes everything happens at once..... I've missed blogging and missed being behind my camera. Our household is sick, it seems to be a trend during the winter. As much as I am not a fan of being puked on, coughing, nebulizer machines, hundreds of dollars of perscriptions, and countless trips to the doctors in bloody freezing temperatures, I am a fan of all the cuddling, chicken noodle soup and smoothies, having warm kiddos fall asleep on me and my big bed full of little ones. Hopefully we are all back to our crazy selves soon, i'm sure we will be.
   My beautiful daughter has turned six....... I know us mamas say it all the time but it seems like yesterday that I was bringing her home from the hospital, where does the time go? On the same day that Gracie turned six, my little brother and Chandelle celebrated the birth of their first son, Deegan Lee. He made his  big entrance a few weeks early and already we all love him to bits..... I can hardly wait to get my hands on him and photograph the little man.
   We are all missing Daddy and anxiously awaiting spring break up, road bans and to have him home for a big stretch, we have a few trips planned and I can hardly wait...
    I promise to have some new pictures to share soon, in the meantime here is one from a couple years ago, when to tell you the truth I didn't really know what I was doing. It is still one of my favorite images to this day, go figure......
Love, peace and hairgrease,
 Mandi

LoveBugs

 This was so much fun! The idea was inspired by Shannon Sewell,  a photographer whose work I admire. Hope you all had a fantastic Love Day with the ones you adore!

Love makes the world go round

 I am a big fan of Love Day.... okay I admit there is a definite element of cheese associated with the holiday, however the concept of celebrating love is beautiful! I wish there was a love day every month, it's an excuse to go out for supper, spoil your special lady and the kiddos of course and to celebrate love...... after all love makes the world go round. I shot these yesterday totally last minute....... I will be posting more tonight of the kiddos! Thank you Brittany for letting me dress you up and for letting me defy gravity with your hair!!!

Miss Mya

 The first time I met Mya she was just a couple weeks old, in a short year she has transformed into the most beautiful little love. Mya has the most beautifully shaped eyes and is a perfect mix of her mom and dad not to mention sweet as can be! I tried to convince mom that she could leave Mya with me for the day....... maybe next time LOL! The first photo is from her newborn session and the rest mark her first birthday! Thanks for stopping by!

This one in my favorite!
