I AM … going to be 34 soon in November.
I WANT… to adopt another baby.
I HAVE … endometriosis, which = infertility.
I KEEP … my camera with me all the time.
I WISH I COULD … have clear, flawless skin! It's really one of the things I'm most embarrassed about myself.
I HATE … politics! Everything about it, the adds, the debates, the fact that you really can't know the truth about a candidate. Oh and car salesmen. And veggies.
I FEAR … loosing my husband and baby.
I HEAR … my baby babble and I love it.
I DON’T THINK … I will ever take enough pictures.
I REGRET … not spending more time with girl friends back being with friends was the thing to do. Should have dumped my boyfriend in high school.
I LOVE … cinnamon rolls, Halloween, Fall, colored leaves, ginger bread, and spring flowers.
I AM NOT … good at spelling.
I DANCE … in my head a lot.
I SING …"You Are My Sunshine" to Jack….everyday!
I NEVER … have been pregnant, or got my ears pierced.
I RARELY
… cry. Not sure why on that one.
I CRY WHEN I WATCH … old family videos.
I AM NOT ALWAYS …confident. Working on that.
I HATE THAT … Spring and Fall don't last very long.
I’M CONFUSED ABOUT …suicide bombers. Can't we all just love a little more?
I NEED … a garden.
I SHOULD …exercise more. Eat more veggies.
I HOPE …we all can love a little more.
Vintage Lauri- one day old.
Halloween is so much fun with Jack.
Pumpkins, wagon rides, stickers, headless horsemen…


This is a sneak peak for Nolan's mom who has been so patient in waiting for me to get these done.
It's always hard to pick a favorite, but somehow this little guy smiled the most when he was with his mom and dad. :)





Thank you Ashley for the referral.
Where's Jack?
There's the baby!
Up from a lovely long afternoon nap, Jack and I played with my new birthday present, thanks to the gift money sent by my mother in law.
I've had my eye on these stripes for a year! Can't you just see it as a colorful backdrop for a newborn.


I have a few days left this year for photo sessions, then it's full swing into holiday fun with making cookies and seeing lights,
and playing with cousins, and reading Christmas stories, and making gifts. Which I'm so, so excited about spending my days sharing with Jack, now that he'll be one.
Kids make the holidays so much sweeter.
Oh and I'll be busy planning Jack's first birthday party. Any suggestions? I already have the silliest hat I could find for him to wear.
So, if you'd like to book a session soon, send me an email, (link on the right).
Sessions are booked first come.
