Hi there friends! Happy May Day! It has been a super busy week of work and I haven't had time for much else unfortunately. I shot a wedding and a session last weekend and cranked out 6 galleries this week, with two more to go. 

So, I haven't taken many photos other than for work. I only have two to share this week. The first was taken with my Fuji Instant camera and sent to my grandmother in her birthday card. I snapped a quick phone pic before sending it off. ( I love the Fuji but the odd placement of the view finder trips me up every time, lol. My insta-compositions need work. ;) The second was taken last weekend when Little Miss was the last one to rise. That girl is growing so much! We took her training wheels off of her bike this week and she took off with no problem. She has no trouble keeping up with the rest of the gang, that's for sure!

What have you been up to this week?

36,500 Days around the Sun

My beautiful grandmother celebrated her 100th birthday over the weekend. I put together a photo album and a short video with images and keepsakes that the family collected over the years. I truly enjoyed digging into our family history and taking a trip down memory lane to create these gifts for my grandmother.

I am absolutely in awe of her strength and grace. She amazes me every day! What a beautiful, full life she has led. I regret that I was unable to attend the celebration in person, but I was most definitely there in spirit. And I'm thankful that she was able to celebrate surrounded by many family members and friends.

Unfortunately, I do not have all of the names to give proper credit for these beautiful images, but I wanted to share a few here. I would be glad to give full credit to whomever may claim their creation.

Happy 100th birthday Mimi!! Love you bunches!

Hi friends! Can you believe next week we'll be heading into May? Summer is on the way! I have been enjoying the warmer weather and so have the kids. We took a jaunt to a local park this week, one that we haven't visited in quite a while, and it was so much fun to explore and play with the kids outside on a sunny afternoon. What a treat! Of course May means the beginning of wedding season, and several months of crazy ahead. I'm savoring the rare afternoon off when I can!

Had to stop and smell the flowers...

I shot at a new location last weekend - well I had been there once before, but not in the spring. Anyway, I had back to back family sessions and was thrilled to find plenty of wisteria in bloom. I had to stop and smell the flowers on my way out of the park - and of course take some photos. :)

I hope you enjoyed them.  Thanks for stopping by!

I'm so sorry I dropped the ball on this week's Friday Photo Journal! It has been a crazy busy week - well, even crazier than usual. I had 5 portrait sessions, two wedding consultations, a family birthday party to host and have been working on putting together a big memory album and video for my grandmother's 100th birthday coming up! I apologize about the late posting for this week's link up!!

Here is a peek at our fun yesterday - we got to spend some time with my sweet little niece. Can you tell the kids adore her?! It is always a treat when we get to babysit for a bit. :)

Happy Friday friends! I hope you are well. We enjoyed a busy week of birthday festivities - I now have a teenager in the house - yikes! I also had a fun spring shoot with my adorable niece, and my first beach session of the season. It was so nice to be out in the sunshine and on the shore again! Oh yes, and Easter! I haven't even uploaded those photos yet - I just remembered. Oh well. You know the drill, chocolate, chocolate, peeps, eggs, messy hair and Pjs, family time and lots of food. ;)

How was your week?
