Josie and Dylan...

My little girl, Josie, is getting closer to the end of school. Next year she will be in 3rd grade and Dylan will go to Kindergarten. Time seems to be flying by. Mommy will be with out kids for the first time in almost nine years. My children have helped me to find a passion that I didn't know I had. Watching them grow and taking pictures of all those important moments has filled my life with so much joy. Little did I know, that thousands of photos later, I would be starting a business of my own. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and children. I thank the Lord for my family and for everything he's done for me in my life.
