1.  I think it is hilarious that my kids can smell chocolate on my breath from 5 feet away…

2. Candlebox, Bush, Smashing Pumkins, Lenny Kravitz, and Bob Marley will always have a special place in my heart…

3. I LOVE Reality Bites…let’s face it…nobody does dirty boy better than Ethan Hawke…

4. Reading really does expand my vocabulary…you wouldn’t think it, but trashy Harelquin romance novels are written by very verbally competent folks.

5. I would dance all night long if people would just LET me…but apparently at some point my a** slapping becomes unbearable…

6. 4 hours into my honeymoon, I split my foot open and couldn’t wear my cute shoes all week…:(

7. Toby Keith called me up on stage once…well actually it was at my high school, so it was onto the gymnasium floor, and instead of walking down the steps…I rolled down them…Thank you Kara.

8.   I was a member of several “clubs” in college…none were academic in nature…;) 

9.  In high school I was vice president of the FHA though…oh yeah…

10. I think I sound really good when I kareoke…”I touch myself” is a must and if I’m on a role “Betty Davis Eyes” is right after…watch out Kelly Clarkson.

11. I still believed in Santa Claus well into high school.

12.  I used to sleep walk as a child.  I would actually get up and watch tv…have conversations…then have no recollecton of it the next day.  I hear this is pretty normal, but it just sounds like a bad 70’s horror film to me.

13.  I still kinda believe in Santa…just a little…

14. I remember the day I met Danny…the entire day with absolute clarity…you want me to recount the entire day for you???

15.  I once hauled a skeleton home…thought I had found a T-Rex…turned out to be a cow…but man were those thoughts of the Smithsonian inspiring for a 7 year old…

16.  Most of my childhood was spent with no shoes on…

17.  Life has taught me some really hard lessons, but God has always surrounded me with people who made them bearable.  Thank you to each and every one of you.

18. I am a hugger…and I over use the words sweetie, sunshine, baby, hun, precious and lovie…

19.  I am annoyingly optimistic…I will tell you the good side of every situation even when you REALLY don’t want to hear it…

20.  Sometimes…when no one is looking…I pretend I am Ramona Quimby, Age 8.

21.  Used to have Anne of Green Gables movie-a-thons when I was younger…haven’t done this in a while and really think it is time again.

21.  All the best characters in books had red hair and freckles…Ramona, Anne, Strawberry Shortcake…so why was I still made fun of???

22. I am not afraid to say that my children gave me a purpose in this life…actually I am very proud of it.

23.  I don’t dream of being famous, or rich, or tauted…I just dream of being a part of my loved ones lives until I am old and wrinkly…and putting happiness out into this world.

24.I had hair like Joey MacIntyre until I was in 7th grade…it didn’t get better after that…I promise.

25.  I love the way music comes in through my ear and then comes out of every cell of my body…I freakin love music…

26. Yes, you read that right…through my ear…I am stone deaf in the other…always have been…lol

and if you made it through all that nonsense then prepare yourself for TOTAL sweetness…

Sometimes newborn sessions can be long and exhausting for new parents.  I realize that after having a baby the last you want to do is venture out and get pictures right away…but let me stress how SPECIAL they are.  No hospital photographer is going to take pictures of your newborn the way I will.  I put lots of TLC into my sessions…both during and after, so new parents will never forget this fleeting and wonderful time…scroll down to see what I mean…

Thanks for taking the time for this ridiculously long post…;)
