I have long been a fan of mpixpro and the amazing custom products they offer for my clients and myself. from metal murals to amazing press printed products, they are one of a kind in the printing world.  I would choose no other place to showcase my photos! Not long ago they contacted me to be a part of their “mpixpro experts” and national ad featuring my little munchkin an me it was an amazing experience start to finish. they let me have at it with all the color and fun one photo could hold. It was such a pleasure to meet them all when I was at WPPI last month and it felt like I had known them forever after working with them just a few short weeks on the ad. If any photographers are looking for amazing customer service, top quality prints and products, and top notch people to work with – check out mpixpro TODAY! And, a special thanks once again to the mpixpro team for choosing art and soul to represent them in the ad, it is something i will never forget, and sharing it with my daughter made it ever more special.

peace and love! dream BIG!

auburn had a super fun season of ymca basketball! she was a lucky girl with her daddy as a coach and her uncle trevor as an assistant coach. she looked forward to sporting her pink basketball shorts and pink nikes every saturday. and, her favorite part, running up and down the court, waving at her fan club from each end of the court…..it was pretty cute! next up, spring soccer. she loves being social so she is up for anything whether it be sports or dance….love my little 3 year old sweetie!

peace and love!

happy valentine’s day from our house to yours! my little valentine makes me smile everyday and brightens up our life! may your day be filled with love!

xoxox

around the porch house we love love love us some slug bugs…..auburn and her aunt dana have a very special bond and this is dana’s precious car. she just sold the car so we decided it was a perfect time to get some shots with it and the little sunflower. love sooooo many of them!

peace, love and slug bugs!

this pic just cracks me up…..looks like a little gap ad to me auburn is VERY ready for christmas….VERY ready! we have had a busy fall….disney world in november plus a jam packed holiday shooting season. then we decided to put our house on the market hoping to move by next year for auburn to start pre-k and wound up selling it in the first week! sooooo, that puts us moving just a few weeks before christmas. we are very lucky to have found a home we are in love with and making the big move this week. aub is excited to be living just a few doors down from one of her best little pals, hadyn. and, i am just as lucky to have so many dear friends in the neighborhood we are moving to. fun times ahead! a few things cracking me up and making me smile about my little sunflower this fall / winter:

she asked DAILY if we can go to disney world again tomorrow.

she LOVES singing and making up her own songs for santa.

she talks about our past doggie, scotty, like she knew him even thought they never met. saying things like “he was my favoritest dog ever”

her dance moves. so.stinking.funny

her questions she asks and her “why” for everything.

she wants a sled and barbie house for christmas. the sled threw me off, did not see that one coming….

her happiness. i swear this girl wakes up happy and falls asleep even happier. she is just happy. bright like sunshine.

we just had the best week ever at disney world….the.best.time. auburn was in heaven hanging with all her princess pals and running circles around us all over the disney grounds. it was a magical week top to bottom. would not trade the experience for anything. watching the fireworks over the castle and watching auburn make her little wish…..”I wish I could be a real princess” with her little hands on her face and her eyes closed. cutest thing on earth. needless to say she was not very happy to leave the happiest place on earth….thanks to my wonderful clients for being patience on your galleries and orders during this holiday season while we took a mini vaca.

peace, love and disney!

yes, she is a girly girl….bow wearing princess….but, what i love about the little diva is that she does not mind worm hunting, frog catching and playing in the dirt! she is the best of both worlds and we love her for it!

peace, love and worm hunting!

Auburn had to try out the new drum set for the upcoming ROCK AND ROLL mini’s! Date for these mini’s will be released monday! get ready for some fun, and I will need some ear plugs for sure for these mini’s!

peace, love and ROCK AND ROLL!

this little love sure does keep me on my toes. the summer months have flown by and have been so wonderful. three years is just so fun! just when i thought nothing could be better than my little two year old, she is blowing my mind with her three year old cuteness! changing so fast and lighting up our life, little sunflower…..ten things that i am loving about her right this second…..

1. her “morning kiss” she insists on giving me each morning.

2. when i tuck her in at night and head to leave the room she says “night momma, you are my bestest friend”

3. how she laughs at her own jokes. thinking everything she says is so funny and throwing her head back in laughter…

4. naked girl. naked girl. she is a summer nudest!!! the second she gets home she strips down to nothing and stays that way until bed. the girl loves to be in her birthday suit!

5.  princess lover……she LOVES to play princess. to talk about princess. her favorite is Belle. she LOVES belle!

6. disgusting and delicious. two words she learned a few weeks back. my favorite is when she gets them confused and says “yum, this cookie is disgusting!!”

7.  i love when she tells me “momma, i dreamed about ponies, horses, and unicorns last night”

8. her kindness.

9. her bossiness. having two close in age but older cousins means that she gets bossed around quite a bit. so, she gets bossy any chance she gets! with her dolls, trudy (our dog) and friends who come and play. i can only imagine how bossy she might be to a sibling someday

10. i love how much she is a momma / daddy girl. giving us HUGE hugs, wanting to snuggle. saying “who wants to play with me, it will be so fun guys” in her high pitch girlie voice…..i know that it won’t always be that she wants us around all the time, so we are soaking up every second.

Just a few of the million things i am loving about little miss auburn lately…..love you sunflower!

I cannot tell you what the photos below mean to me….I am SUCH a daddy’s girl and always have been. There are just dad’s out there meant to be a dad to a little girl and my dad is one of those (my hubs is one of those dad’s too)…..It melts my heart to see him with auburn. to see the sparkle in his eye. to see her just like I was with him. curled up on his lap….begging him for candy that he ALWAYS has in his pocket….holding his hand…being the apple of his eye…..I just love the bond these two share. Happy Birthday to my dad, who is not fond of the computer and you never see him on one…..but, my mom is a certified bog stalker and might see this to pass his way I love you dad. thank you for being my lifelong hero, my biggest fan, and a constant supporter of all my dreams. I will NEVER forget you saying to me as a child “you can be whatever you want to be in life….I don’t care if you are a trash man as long as you love it..” well, dad, I have found my dream in life and the job I love. thanks for always letting me know that I could do anything! thanks for the example you set as a husband, father, papa and man. you taught me how to love and be loved. you are amazing and I  love you so much!!!! and, like we said every night before you tucked me into bed – “love you most, bestest, and everything!”
