My little hiatus.

Were have I been? Well me & my husband picked up our lives in Virginia & moved to Michigan. As you may know. My husband has been working & was going to school. I would like to announce though that we are................

Yup! We are having a baby Hardy : )

We found out on April 31st 2012. I took 5 tests to make sure & then  confirmed it with a doctors appointment with blood work. My HCG levels where 29 at the first draw 3 days later it was 96. The doctor's office had me wait until I was 8 weeks to get an ultrasound. On June 4th 2012 my life changed forever! I saw our little bean on the screen & cried. I am overjoyed to be a mother to our little one. 

My husband was in shock I think. He may never admit it but I believe he was. He is just now getting amped up to met our little one. I am in due in January at the beginning. Down side it will be dead of winter! UGH!  

I have so much joy & happiness that I could burst. I am nervous & scared all at the same time. I know God will bless us & be with me always. He will lead me down the right path. 

Thnx to our friends & family for being so supportive.

Woods & Sunsets | Mommy & Son

Nanu & I have been friends since 9th grade. When I found out she was pregnant with her son I was so excited for her. I knew she would make a great mother. Nanu is funny & loves to have a great time were ever she goes. When I came to find out her sister Erica had a son also, I was more thrilled then ever. When we went home to Michigan she had asked to get a few shots of her son & her. I offered to do a Christmas shoot for her mother. Get all her children & grandchildren together & take a nice photo to frame for her. Nanu loved the idea, at the time. When we read the forecast it said a high of 60's & partly sunny. We should have known that was not going to be the case because we are in Michigan!

We met at a well known park in Holland, MI named Kollen Park. It was freezing & windy. The shots we did get I was super happy with.

Thank you Nanu & cutie pie for letting me work with you! I had an amazing time & look forward to our Spring shoot.
