clean ~ simple ~ fresh...

two little boys and a bonus...

I went to photograph C & L for their holiday session the other day.  Well, I knock on the door and a stunning young lady welcomed me inside.  Cousin C.  After the session with the boys I had the privilege of capturing this sweetheart.  Thank you so much guys for a great time and thank you C for being such a good sport.  The camera loves you :-)

Here is C & L...

and Cousin C...

Little Mr C.  I took pics of him when he was a munchkin and can not believe how fast this year has gone.  A couple from the past year...

 

It was a busy year...  LOOK AT ME NOW!

I am soooooooo excited to be one!

Happy Birthday C ....  Love, Auntie Tracy

yum yum yummy...

It has been a very busy couple of weeks and yes..  I have been slacking ...keeping up with the blog has been a challenge these days.  Many of you have been sending me requests to get off my butt (to put it gently) and get some more pictures on here.  Here are some for you so please stop bugging me :-)  Geeze - stalkers.......  who am I kidding? - I love them!

S - here are some YUMMY pics for you especially...  :-)

 

birthday wishes...

I just want to send some birthday wishes to 2 of my favorite people out there.  You know who you are :-)  One of you is ONE and the other a very young FORTY TWO :-) 

where to begin... ?

The past couple of days have been amazing!  I have photographed some of my favorite kids for the second time and some new cutie pies I hope to see for many years to come.  Here are a couple from some of the sessions.  I have many more to add.  I am currenly working to add several galleries for online viewing.  If you are waiting check your inbox for your password.

Have a great holiday weekend...

anyone out there remember Mr Froggy Boots?  Here he is a year later and still as yummy as he can be!

I think I took a shot identical to this last year when he was playing with cars.  It is HANDS DOWN one of my favorite shots!

How in the world can you get any cuter than this?  I love this shot!

life... a few things I have learned...

I found this on my idol's blog and agree with all of the following 100% so I thought I would share...

Don't be so busy that you start to realize you have missed out on EVERYTHING!

Take time to play with your kids more.  Silly play.  Run around with them.  They love it.

Sit and cuddle your kids as much as you can.

Make sure everyone knows how you feel about them.  Sometimes you never have the chance to tell them again.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Some things just don't matter.  They mean something, but they really don't matter.

Hold yourself accountable.

Remember that everyone has a bad day once and a while. Just like you.

Don't get offended.  Assume that whomever said it, just didn't get it out right.

Give others a break.  We are all fighting our own battles.

Remember that people aren't always going to remember what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.  Make them feel special.

There are too many people out there who need someone really bad.  Be that someone.

Sometimes all someone needs is a shoulder to cry on.  Give it to them and really listen.

Don't keep your distance.  We are all supposed to be taking care of eachother.  Life isn't about us, it's about everyone else.

Sometimes the simplest things to you, mean the world to someone else.  Give it to them.

Live by example.

Have Faith.

Remember . . . Life is Good.


a couple more I just love.....

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt and Dance like no one is watching.

another beautiful little face...

I just love soccer season..  there is natural beauty everywhere :-)

unconditional love...

It does exist :-) ...

Meet L & P...  I have so much to say but it will have to wait till tomorrow - off to bed for tonight...  sweet dreams :-) 

birthday wishes...

north conway...

After soccer this morning we headed to North Conway.  The traffic was the worst I have ever seen it, we missed the train and the boys wanted NOTHING to do with having pictures today.  Somehow it still managed to be a great day :-)  Here are a couple shots from today...
