So, guess who I got to meet? A little princess. Although she was just 16 months, her daddy would say she is going on 16 years old. She was fun to follow and capture her portraits.

Had so much fun with A. She is such a beautiful girl inside and out! More to come later this week. But, until then, here's a quick poem to make you smile.

Sweet Sixteen
Hold on to this year my child
Wrap each moment with care.
For darling too soon it is over
Gone you will never know where.

Sixteen - so magic - so fleeting
Do not turn around too fast.
My darling `tis only a meeting
A meeting that`s not meant to last.

Hold on to each precious second
Mark with indelible ink.
Save every moment forever
It is gone before you can blink.

Well, I did it...It is one very hard task for me. Every year, I try very hard to get a picture that I would like of my own children. This year the twins did great and the baby tried really hard. Candid shots are some of my favorites but I really wanted one of them all together with sweet smiles, I know, I know! Since 2 out of 3 are smiling, it will be a favorite for this year. I've posted two shots one is unretouched, and the other to show an example of a plastered smile (LOL). I surely didn't want that. LOL! I hope you get a laugh out of it!

I am working on a project for my church, Vintage 242, this week. Sometimes I see visions of what I want to photograph before the actual shoot (most of the time). I can not rest until I get the shot that I'm see in my mind. This is a picture of two very sweet friends of mine. This picture turned out just like I saw it in my mind. I love it! I had to share. It represents something so powerful...LOVE. You won't want to miss our church service next week. You will remember it forever. Visit www.vintage242.com for more information about service times. Thanks Dawn, Stacey, and Sheila!
