My step sister Marlo had my new baby niece yesterday. This little porkchop weighed in at 9 lbs. and 9 0zs.

Baby E was welcomed into this world by her two big sisters. They already love her so much. They did tell me that they will change the peepee diapers but the poopy ones are all Mom and Dad!

Yesterday was a great day. I attended the Boys and Girls Club Walk For Kids. This event was great. I know my kids had a wonderful time, along with everyone else that was there.

For each lap that was walked you earn a beaded necklace. I’m not sure who walked the most but I was surprised that some of these kids didn’t topple over from the amount of beads they had acquired.

I believe the final total was almost 7,000.00 raised. You can’t beat that!

Here are some pictures from yesterday. The rest will be on my site by tonight for you to view as a slideshow.

Oh, and one more thing. Because this was done for the Boys and Girls Club, my lab is giving me a killer deal on prints.

So any print that you are interested in purchasing will be sold for 5.00, with all proceeds going directly to the Boys and Girls Club.

If you have not found your way to J.M. Princewell’s yet, you are surely missing out!

This store has a bit of everything. Gorgeous purses, clothing, jewelry, and so much more! I have already told my husband all about their Pandora sale so he knows what to get me for Mother’s Day.

Take some time and stop in and visit June and Rick, you will not be sorry. They have something for everyone.

I took my son to the skate park in town today. He had such a great time skating and I really enjoyed watching him.

He met up with some other kids that were showing him all their neat tricks.

The Souhegan Valley Boys and Girls club is holding a “Walk For Kids” on Saturday April 26th at The Hampshire Dome in Milford.

Join in the fun, and support a great cause. I will be there photographing the event. Stop by and say hello!

For more information, check out the Boys and Girls website.

I found out this afternoon that the boys were born. I am so happy for you that you finally have them in your arms.

I cannot wait to photograph them both.

Congratulations and I hope to see you all soon!

A Picture of Me!

For years now I have been hiding behind the camera. I’ve always just claimed it was my love of photography. Truth is, I was just never happy with how I looked.

On February 5th, I had gastric bypass surgery. In the last 9 weeks, I have lost 50 pounds. As much as loosing the weight has been good for me, I realize how much I missed out on because of my fear of getting in front of the camera.

I realized it truly didn’t matter what I weighed, it was about capturing the moments with my children. I am grateful that I took the photos that I did, but I regret not hopping in a few of them myself. I will make sure that regardless of how I look, what I am wearing, if my hair looks funny or if my butt looks big in those jeans, that I will live in the moment and join my children and husband for a family photo.

The images you see here were captured by a good friend of mine, Sarah Freel. Sarah is a photographer in Braintree, Massachusetts. We were joined by another great friend Jamie Zdziardski, who is a photographer in Bedford, New Hampshire.

We had a great night playing with the camera and capturing the moment. Sarah also captured this image of my girls and I. It was nice to get get with friends and get some images that I will treasure forever.

I am going to have this picture printed for both my girls and I.

Now I need to get myself in front of the camera again and get a nice picture of my boys and I.

I think as parents we are usually the ones with the camera. Take a moment and hand it off. Join the kids, your spouse, and your friends. Get in the picture and capture the moments!

I am so excited about this promotion. What could possibly be better for your favorite Girl than to be photographed with her Favorite Girl. I know my little Girl felt so special during her photoshoot.

Space is limited so call today to schedule your session.

What little girl does not want to dress up as a Princess and spend the evening dancing with her Prince Charming?

The Milford Girl Scouts are presenting an enchanted evening for your little Princess to do just that. I will be there to photograph the event and am so excited. I hope to see your Princess there.
