Today I went shopping and found quite a few wonderful sales at local stores I love to frequent. While shopping i thought, "Hey, why not share the love and offer a sale in the studio?" So, for the month of February, there will be a sale on wrapped canvas.
If you haven’t purchased a canvas in the past, but have always wanted to, now is the best time! If you have purchased a canvas before, I know you will not want to miss this sale!
Canvases arrive ready to hang and there is no need for framing! They are printed directly on the canvas, UV coated, and stretched onto a wooden frame. The quality is impeccable!

You have the option to use and image from a past session or to book a new session so we may photograph with your canvas image in mind!

and this mom is so excited about it. If you happen to know this family…. don’t tell dad you saw little L. on my Blog. SHHHH- this is a surprise just for him! I asked little L. "Do you have a special boy you are going to give a Valentine to?" L. is five so I really expected her to have some little boy at school she would tell me about. However, she gave me the best answer, music to any parents ears…
"I have my Daddy."
So precious…. She is still young enough to love only one boy- her Daddy!

Could I be more blessed? I have photographed two very happy
six month olds in the past week. Both of these babies are on my baby plan and I
am enjoying watching them grow up. Little A. was so adorable and happy when I
showed up at her house. She was just hanging out, playing with her toys, and
making happy noises. I knew we were in for a great session. This age is so
delightful…. too bad you can’t freeze time.

This is my "new" scale. I have twin girls on my baby plan right now and I wanted to have two scales so I could do this photograph with them when they hit 6 months.

Most of you know that I am a volunteer for an organization called NILMDTS. The work of this organization is very dear to my heart. I love that I am able to give back to these families in this very special way. I was called on Friday to be on hand this past Sunday. The baby was to be taken off life support and the mother asked that a photographer be there to capture the baby before the tubes were removed and then also capture some of her and the baby with no tubes. I could write for hours about how emotional these sessions are for me. I am amazed by the parent’s strength as they watch their hopes and dreams for their child die. This baby was 100% perfect on the outside and it just felt like she should open her eyes and cry. She was real- here- and then gone.
On the way to the hospital I was frazzled. I had a crazy morning with my kids and trying to get out the door for this session was really hard. I felt that the devil was pulling me from doing what I knew was an angels work. When I finally got on the road I was an emotional mess. I wanted to be so pulled together for this mom and instead I felt like i needed some hand holding. I racked my brain on who to call for support. I knew the answer instantly- Brandi. She would be able to talk me through this.
Brandi is a client turned friend. She is the woman behind the Bible studies I have referred to before. She is inspirational  and  honest and  such a woman of faith. So, I called her.  I  wish I  could better explain to you what she said to me  but it was something like this. FINGERPRINTS, Elizabeth, you are leaving your fingerprints. What? Hmmm..
She went on to explain that as she looks at images she has in her home she often thinks not only of the image itself but of the person behind the camera. The other part of the story that is so important but not recognized in the actual picture. She reminded me that each picture I take, each portrait that hangs in a home…. carries my fingerprints. Ahhh- peace- I want to leave my fingerprints in as many lives as I can. A fingerprint is a touch and I want to touch people. NILMDTS helps me touch people I would otherwise never know. What a blessing Sunday was.
The ending of the story-
The baby was beautiful and the mom was obviously hurting. We were able to talk for a good hour. I was honored to photograph baby J. while on life support as well as when she took her last breath.

I know I am so late in posting these. Saturday was such a  special day at our house as we enjoyed watching the snow come down for hours. It was magical and so very special. Slaton said, "Mommy, why did God decide to send snow today?" WOW- I really don’t know. Maybe it was to help the children and adults in GA remember what fun it is to get outside and play? Several of our neighbors made big snowmen and for hours I could hear the happy yelling and laughing of children and their parents playing. The whole day was wonderful!




If you are wondering where Eliza ‘s individual picture is…. well, I did not get one. Eliza has run smack dab straight into her terrible twos. She was having a total meltdown inside while I was outside with the boys. Prayers are appreciated…… I think we may be in for a few hard months with her!
