Relay for Life

Several years ago, my Aunt Christal passed away in her late
THIRTIES from breast cancer...She was a beautiful person,
a wonderful mother to her three children and a soul-mate to
my Uncle Randy. Her death was unexpected & unecessary.

With breast cancer taking her mother & grandmother as well,
Christal was adamant about getting checked early. Unfortunately,
by the time she convinced Doctor's and insurance companies, it
was too late, as it had already taken over her body. As a Mama,
it broke my heart to know that her babies would not be in her
arms any longer......that she would not be with them physically
to help them on their life paths.

My heart just ached and ached and it still does, for all of them.

In honor of her, I will be on-site from 11-2 at the Niles Relay for
Life, 7/26, held at Niles High School, offering sessions for $20,
which will be directly donated to the Relay for Life! If you have
been considering getting photos done, this is a wonderful
opportunity to do so. You will also receive a free 8x10 with
your session fee!

Sessions must take place by September 20th!

Last year, the world lost a very precious little girl, Ava Christine.

In the short time that she was with us, she united a community and had people praying from all over the world. Now, her parents are teaming up with the South Bend Medical Foundation to hold a blood drive in her honor, to help other families in need and keep Ava's memory alive.

Please join them on July 29th from 2:00 to 8:30 at the Niles Inn to make a donation!

To make an appt., please contact Jamie at 269-695-1476

Little Dennis the Menace!

On Sunday evening, my oldest brother stopped by and brought my nephew along. Of course I took the opportunity to get some quick shots of him, and when I say quick, I mean it! He is soooo fast! Kept me on my toes! I can't help but be reminded of Dennis the Menace when I look at these pics!

And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his smile!

Little Miss "N"

I had a fun session with my niece, "N" yesterday!

She is such a beautiful baby and Mom & Dad just can't get

enough of her, can't blame them! She was so giggly for almost the

whole session! Let's see if you can decide when she was "done."

hehehehe!

I absolutely LOVE this one below!

BTW - If you are interested in the tutu that "N"

is wearing, I MADE it myself! I will have some more exciting

news about that coming soon! Stay tuned.....

Done? I would say so. :)

Thanks to Grandma Diane for letting us use her beautiful

garden as a backdrop!

You can see more of her "talent" here.

Happily Ever After.......

happy for the two of you, thank you for letting me be a part of

your day! Gotta love the kiddos too, they are always so much fun!
