I had so much fun with little Addison. I couldn’t have asked for a better baby. I was a little worried about waiting till she was a little older to take her pictures, but it didn’t matter. She was such a good baby!! The only thing she let us know she didn’t like were her hats!!! LOL. We tricked her when she fell asleep and was so happy to get some cute photos with her adorable little hats!!! Thanks Kara and Cory, you have such a sweet, adorable little girl.

Well the last week has come for our 52 week project. I have met some wonderful people through this journey and am really happy I decided to participate for the whole year. I will tell you it wasn’t easy to keep the commitment and there were times I did slack and stopped posting for about a month. I am so glad I had the opportunity to complete this project and I feel that I have definitely grown from it. Bloom Forum and workshops are the best and I wouldn’t have found all these wonderful, talented photographers if I had not discovered the Bloom!!!!!

So this weeks theme is “Self Protrait”. So I have broken the theme a couple times and I am going to do it this one last time!!! LOL. I am never in photos so finding a photo or taking a photo of myself was far and few between. So this photo is My mom, Cindy, my sister, Kim and myself. It is kinda a self portrait because the other two are definetly a huge part of me. Love you both!!! Oh and I am the one on the left!!

I hope all of you that have followed my blog will continue with me and continue to see what my photography business has in-store for me!!!!

Please complete the circle one more time and check out our farewell to our yearly project!!! Will miss all of you guys!!!   http://therancherswifesphotography.com

I have been having a hard time continuing my 52 weeks project as I have had soo much going on with the Holiday Season. I love this time of year, but it is so hard to take the time and really reflect with all the hussel and bussel going on. We are coming to a close with our project and I want to finish these two weeks with two great photos.

Today I finished taking Heather’s Senior photos. We took pictures earlier in the year and we wanted to finish her senior year photos in the Fall/Winter. With hers and my busy schedule we finally found a day to do it. After we took her pictures, I was excited to take her photo with her two best-est friends. These three girls mean the world to me and I consider them the daughters I will never have. My boys might not have any biological sisters, but these three are just like family to them.

I shared a photo of my family at Christmas so I thought I would use this photo as a family photo also. Thanks girls for making this a fun session. Laughed so hard we had makeup all over the place!!! LOL  I will Heather and Coree the best of luck as they venture into the real world and wish Morgan one more awesome year of High School.

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas. Thanks to all who follow me on my blog and all my work. I am really looking forward to sharing my work with all of you in the coming years. Happy Holidays!!!

Wow, it has been forever since I have posted on my weekly project. Things have been SO busy with sooo much going on. With the holidays here and in full swing I feel like there is not enough time in the day to get anything done. This weeks theme is people/Stranger. Well, I am going to go a little off track with this one and just use people.

Last week we traveled down to see my Grandparents and spend Thanksgiving with them. While my whole family was there I decided to take some family photos of all of us since we aren’t together in the same spot like this very often. We were also celebrating my Grandma turning 90 in October and my Grandparents 71st wedding.

This picture will become something that I will treasure forever as my Grandparents won’t be around forever!! I am so luck to have had them in my life this long and for them to be apart of my boys life!!!! We love our GGMA and GGPA!!!!!

Please continue on and see what Hope has posted as her take on this weeks theme!!!! http://www.toliverpreview.blogspot.com/

Week 40 is here. Can’t believe there is only 12 weeks left of our project!!! This week the theme is Lines. I had a few ideas in mind for this theme, but after taking some school photos I decided to use this cute photo of two very sweet girls!!! The photo is focused on the girls, but I really liked the steps in the background. I decided to use it to show that using lines in a photo can add something unique to your photo. Thanks for looking and I hope you can continue on to Kate http://therancherswifesphotography.com/  to see all the other ideas for lines.

This weeks theme is body parts.  The first thing that came to mind on this theme was feet. I love taking photos of feet when I have a newborn or even the children that I photograph. There is just something about it that has innocence written all over it!! Here is a photo that I actually took of my best friends daughter’s little guy Gavin. I love the newborn skin and how you can see the peeling of his skin.

I am back!!! Feels like forever since I have participated in my weekly project. I guess I can’t really say I am doing it correctly this week, but with the theme delicate I couldn’t think of anything. I came across this photo which is one of my favorites from when my youngest son Jake was born. This photo was taken with a point and shoot camera and before I even thought about taking photos for a living. I wish sometimes that I could go back in time and relive this sweet, new chapter of my life.

 I thought this photo told a story of how delicate life is and how a 2 year old can be so gentle with a new baby. I will always remember the excitement that Joey had when he met his new baby brother. As our lives move on to another phase I wish I could just be in this moment again. My boys have grown to such wonderful boys, but being a mother can be such a changeling job. So many deep breaths come to me during my days with my boys, but in the end I am so happy to have them in my lives and they complete my beautiful family that I have!!! Love you Sodi Boys!!!

This weeks theme was perfect for me. I had posted on my facebook a couple pictures of my beautiful model Emily!!! I wanted to post this on my blog for this weeks theme so all of you blog followers. She is such a sweet, awesome girl and the daughter I never had!!

Well,  we are starting another school year!!! I can’t believe how quick summer flew by.

This school year is one that I have dreaded for a long time. I knew when Joey started Kindergarten it would be a hard day for me. My first born starting school, but I didn’t know it would hit me hard when my youngest would start Kindergarten and Joey would be in 2nd grade!!! It is so weird to drop the both off at the same school again. It is great, but sad at the same time!!

Here is my boys on their first day of the new school year. So proud, but so scared to go to school. They did great!!!
