When I first found out we were about to be blessed with a son, my heart filled with tremendous joy and responsibility. Not only was I being given the opportunity to be a mother to this precious boy, I was also being given the cherished opportunity to raise a loving and wonderful man. He is but just a boy now, but everyday I look into his eyes and see the qualities of a great man. Thank you for picking me to be your mommy. I love you my little superhero. The world is so lucky to have you.

Last chance to take advantage of the Summer Mimi Sessions.  Sunday July 11 is the last day.

There is a house I have been craving to photograph. Everytime I drive by it, it calls to me, something pulling me to it.  Curiosity got the better of me, and I headed down to explore this abandoned home. I was greeted by a gravel driveway that was covered with overgrown weeds, grass, and wonderful wild flowers.  The warm wind blew, encouraging the tall grass to dance all around me.  A few minutes later, I found the house. I had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

The house seemed like any other house, but despite being empty and abandoned, it still felt alive.  I could see into the house, where I could imagine the walls of the living room playing host to a family event, and I could also imagine the warmth of the sun beaming down in the kitchen while they enjoyed a delishious meal.  I wanted to go inside to explore more about this energy, but there was broken glass everywhere, and the sight of the slightly ajar doors swaying in the wind sent ripples of fear up and down my spine. It was time for me to go. I had over stayed my welcome.

Perhaps it will call to me again one day…

On a windy day, we went for a short walk. I was tired and just wanted to do nothing, but knowing how much you wanted to do this, I obliged. You were so happy, you danced around.  I enjoyed our short windy walk; I will always have this memory. It has now become part of me, part of our story. Short windy walks are precious…and so are you. I love you so much.

Congrats Natalie!

Here is what Natalie said were here ”Awesome” things

I am generally a very positive person, so finding awesome things is too easy!- the way my daughters eyes disappear when she is laughing
- evidence of children at play by way of sidewalk chalk
- my man’s smell after a shower
- my man’s smell before a shower
- fresh sheets on the bed
- remembering the wee moments in the middle of the night when it was just me and my daughter in the world, and so happy that I get to do it all over again!
- Tony’s pistachio cake
- the feeling of sun on my skin
- the smell of coffee
- green beans with butter
- my dog licking my feet

A special thanks to all who participated!

Hearing your awesome things was very uplifting and moving. It warms my heart that you have shared with me the things in your life that are so important…the little things that make our lives awesome and worth it.

Love Rej
