Happy Memorial Day!

Just wishing everyone a SAFE and HAPPY Memorial Day! Let us all remember what Memorial Day is about, take some time to reflect and say a prayer for those who gave their lives to serve our country and fight for our freedom.  May we all spend some time to enjoy the company of our families and dear friends.  I am sure many of you will be attending BBQ's and picnics, having hamburgers hot dogs and watermelon, having delicious beverages and hopefully soaking up some long awaited sun, I know I will be. You may catch me sipping on this tasty looking Watermelon Cockail ! For my local peeps, click HERE to see what's happening in Sussex and Warren County this weekend.  Don't forget whatever you do, be safe, have lots of fun and take lots of PICTURES!

Happy Mother's Day Free Session Giveaway!

Becoming a Mother was without question the greatest thing that ever happened to me.  It has changed my world profoundly.  It has humbled me. It has taught me a tremendous amount of patience. It has given me more laughs, tears and love in the last 21 months than I have felt in my entire life.  It has brought my husband and I a greater common bond that is stronger than "couple" we are now family. It has put me in a place of extreme vulnerability, (what if something were to happen to this little person I gave myself to so selflessly and love with every ounce of my being?).  It has given me new perspective about what is truly meaningful in life, (Louis Vuitton and Jimmy Choo don't REALLY matter in the grand scheme). It has taught me to be happy with who I am and to be a positive role model with a healthy self esteem.  It has given me huge respect for my mother and all mothers.  It has taught me compassion and forgiveness.  It has brought me back to my faith and closer to my spirituality and also with Mother Nature.  And waking up to that precious little face every morning always brings a smile to mine (even if it is the occassional 6 am).
So, to honor all  Mother's I would like to give back! I am going to give away a giftcard for a free 1 hour photosession to one Mom.  It can be used for maternity, family or child.  Winner will receive a CD rom with a slideshow of images.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies out there! Take the day to pamper yourselves, you DESERVE it! Pat yourself on the back just this one day, Motherhood is such a selfless 24 hour a day/7 day a week commitment that gets little day to day appreciation, but it does pay with something far more valuable than money!
