"S" Man is 6 months!

I can't believe this little guy is already 6 months old! He's pretty good at sitting up on his own, but Dad did a good job staying close, just in case. There were a few tumbles, but I managed to capture some good shots before the falls. :)

What made it interesting was that one minute he was all smiles and then the next he was sound asleep. So funny. Once he took his power nap we were good to go again.

I love how his whole face lights up when he smiles. I love the family shot too! Oh, and the Dad and son shot.....gorgeous!

Little "S" and Miss "T"

What a fun time I had with these two precious girls. Little "S" was the very first newborn I ever had the pleasure of shooting and now here she is at 9 months old. Her big sis, Miss "T" is a little model and reminds me so much of my oldest.

I think I captured their unique personalities in these images and I love those blue eyes!

Enjoy!

Back home

I flew back into Denver last night after spending the past few days in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I was there to attend a workshop with the fabulous Amy Wenzel. She is a fantastic photography that specializes in children and Senior girls. I was not only going to pick her brain and become what she calls a "Photoshop Jedi Master" but I was really just excited to meet her and spend time with her. I've been following her blog for a while now and I have not only fallen in love with her photography style but more so her personality and love of life!

I was also able to meet my good friend Kristen there in Michigan. We had both decided to attend the workshop and had worked it out to share a room. It was great catching up with her and sharing photo tips and tricks.

As for the workshop, Amy got some unexpected news about her husband, David early Sunday morning. Apparently, David, while on a business trip to San Francisco, was goofing off with some friend and hit his head. He went to sleep and while at the conference the next day (sunday morning) had a seizure. Sunday night, all of the workshop attendees were gathered together for a mixer. Amy explained the situation, but was still hoping to go on with the workshop. Bless her heart, you could see the worry on her face. I got to spend a few minutes talking with her and of course LOVED her from the start!

It was about an hour later that she received the news that the doctors had found a mass on David's brain. He appeared to have a slow-growing tumor that had been growing for 2-3 years. It was actually a blessing from the Lord that he hit his head and was taken to the hospital to run test. Who knows when or if they would have found the tumor if not for that seizure.

So, there we were, drink in hand, receiving the awful news. We all knew there was only one place she needed to be and that was in San Francisco with her husband. We all decided to meet the next morning to discuss details, but the workshop we knew would be cancelled.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed...we all were...but, we all knew that what Amy and David were experiencing was much worse.

As of right now, David has been flown to Minnesota to the Mayo clinic to receive treatment and determine the next possible steps in his recovery. Please join me in prayer for this sweet couple. If you would like to continue to follow their journey you can go to Amy blog or David blog and read all about it.
