Spring Portraits Are Back

The B. Jarvah Garden Portrait Special is back, just in time for a healthy dose of fun in the sun!  Check the News page on my website or call for details.  You'll only see deals like this once a year!

Chase is back!

You may remember this little pumpkin from his newborn and 3 month postings... and if not then meet him again!  This is my documentation of Chase's 6th month marker.

I wish my name would look this awesome on the wall!

He's such a flirt and I love it!  I think he recognized me on this visit which is encouraging.  This smile just melts me!

One day I'll learn the language of baby - until then I will continue to crack up and enjoy when they try to tell me the daily news.

He loves the horse and it's fairly useful as a colorful prop.

Now lounging in the play room, then of course babies get naked!  How can you resist naked baby pictures.  They love it.  Besides Naked = Freedom right?

And, you can't forget the 6 month old feet - still tiny and still precious!

Things that look pretty in the snow for $300 Alex.

Who would have thought that I'd get to see it again!  Now I'm all for a good snow day but rest assured I'm ready to feel the spring breeze again!  My daffodils were flattened so I looked for other pretty things - enjoy what we saw today!

Looks like this guy will be propped up a little longer...

Even a tree stump is awesome in the snow!

And, of course Savannah had the most fun of all - until she ran over a icy mud puddle.  We'll both be having a hot bath later!

I've been on this trail 100 times, and this is the first time I'd call it a wonderland.  My imagination went back to 5th grade... oh, the stories you could tell that start as you cross over here.

Oliver is 2!

So here's my classic Rough and Tumble!  Oliver is 2 and it's time for more pictures.  Don't let this first image fool you, he sat still for .3 seconds and those fast red shoes had me and mom running!  

I need to brush up on my little boy games... peek a boo is not for 2 year olds!

This is a sneaky smile - personality revealed!

Candy treats are not usually a suggested method of appeasement, however tempers can run high and candy is better than tears - and who can resist a lime sucker, covered in dirt!

Traveling to Yorktown

Recently, I had some good fortune and was able to visit Yorktown, VA while my husband worked near the town.  I got up early and walked the waterfront - it is such a beautiful place, but there was no one around to take my picture.  I think they all knew that it was going to be sunny and 20 degrees, and with that most normal folks stay inside.   But normal aside, here is me with one of my first attempts at a Self-Portrait.  

The Carrot Tree is the place to eat in Yorktown!  The carrot cake was so good that it disappeared from my plate before I could document that portion of the trip.  But my tummy assures you all that one slice of cake is worth the trip if you're eating it here!

Did I mention that I met General George Washington?  Of course it's me so I was too star struck to speak or ask for an autograph but I got this picture before security hauled me off!

Sean and I enjoyed a beautiful afternoon at Jamestown as well.  Talk about a frolic in historyville...  This is the place you remember from your childhood (if you grew up in NC) where the guides dress up in costume and try to make you believe they really live there!  Maybe Sean will post some of his finer moments on facebook.

This is the Victory Monument, a beautiful reminder of the benefit from the struggles faced and endured by our ancestors.

In case you forgot your old history lessons - like I have, here is the official birth record for North Carolina!  If you ever have a chance to visit the historic parts of our nation - Do It!

Congratulations Cathy!

There was a great showing at the Women in Business Expo this week. Thank you to everyone who came out to see me and to those who just came to the Expo and happened by my table.  It was exciting to be a part of the community of local businesses.  

Cathy Dickerson is the lucky winner of a Free Mini Garden Session.  She was excited to be chosen at random from all the entry slips and you can look forward to seeing images from her session this Spring! 

Mini Spring Garden Sessions will be scheduled during April 2009.  Look for more details to follow and gear up to schedule your session.

Wake Forest Women in Business

Come out and see me on February 10th at The Factory.  I've got my display ready and I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of women who are in business right here in Wake Forest.  So, if you're interested in experiencing the variety of talent that is right in your backyard, then it will be worth your time to visit us all in The Mill Room - details below...
