More Calendar Pages...

I've had a few requests to post more pages from the family calendar that I made this year. I won't post all of them (it will take me half of the night), but here are a few of my favorites for you to enjoy.













I put together a new calendar every year and I've already got lots of fun, new ideas for 2010!

In loving memory...

It was 7 years ago today that my brother, Art, left us. Life, for the rest of us, has somehow continued on...but we will always keep him in our hearts.



Art was in a serious car accident when he was 21 that left him a quadriplegic. But that didn't stop him from living his dreams. He traveled all over the world, he wrote books, he raced in marathons, broke world records, and had just been elected as President of the National Speaker's Association. You may be wondering about the Super Bowl ring he's wearing in the picture here. It was a gift to him from the Baltimore Ravens. They credit Art with leading them to their Super Bowl victory.

He died before his time from a toxic reaction to a prescription medication. He was an amazing person, mentor, motivator, example, brother, and friend. We miss you, Art. Invictus!

"It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul."

Little Piggies...

What is it about little feet? They always make me smile...

Happy Birthday, Mom!

My cute mom (on the right) and her identical twin sister (on the left) turn 71 today! Happy Birthday, ladies. Love you, Mom. You're the best!

Almost Famous...

Some exciting news...for those of you who speak Polish, go to your nearest supermarket and pick up the latest issue of Twoje 9 Miesiecy. This is something like Pregnancy Magazine in the US. I had the honor of being interviewed by a good friend, Izabela Gornika-Zdziech, who asked me to please share some tips on taking better maternity and baby pictures, and why I feel that they are important times to document with photographs. Part 1 (maternity) ran in January, and Part 2 (babies) is hot off the press! Despite my inability to read Polish, it's so exciting to see something I've worked hard to create being featured in a magazine. Thank you, Izabela!

Birth Announcements!

Allow me to introduce just a few of my beautiful, new birth announcements! These cards can be printed as flat or folded 5x7" (or smaller). They are customizable and also include designs for the inside and back of the card. Email me for more details.

A brother's love...

Just a couple more from last weekend's family session. This kid had to be THE easiest boy I have ever worked with! He was amazing. Can you feel the love he has for his new baby sister? So sweet.



And, one more of the cute girls, just for fun!
