Off The Beaten Path

I stumbled on this picture today and it made me happy. Tom and I were in Colorado for an August wedding and had some free time to explore. Way out in Leadville, we got a little off course (aka lost). On the side of the road, we took a few snaps in what appears to be the middle of nowhere.



Maybe wild flowers on the side of the road make being lost in the middle of nowhere ok? Well that's all I have for thoughts and pictures currently. Stay tuned for an update on Ali & Mike. This is the week they get to find out if they're having a boy or a girl. I think it's a boy. Check back to see if I'm right in the next few days!

All You Need Is Love

LOVE...
Cards. Flowers. Candy. That's a list that could go on for miles. Valentine's Day can easily lose its meaning but for me it's more than store bought tokens. It's about saying thank you to the people who make my life rich with the love they shine on me. Without them I would be less. To my friends, family and my sweetheart Tom - THANK YOU! You are the ones that inspire me, challenge me, encourage me, fill my spirit, and make me a better person. You make gray days brighter and make life worth living. So go out and spread the love. After all...in the wise words of John Lennon, All You Need Is Love!

Love & Light to you all...today and everyday!

Chloe

Spunk. I can't think of a better word to describe little Chloe. At almost three years old, she's ready to take on the world. In our hour session, she blew bubbles, drank tea, rode the horsey (imaginary..but still), and played with her kitty, Camo. She ran me in circles, literally! I could barely keep up, but I was determined to catch the little fireball with my lens.

Camo looks scared...could it be that he's afraid Chloe will "let him fly"? I'm pretty sure she thinks he has wings...or at least that's what you'd assume when watching her play with him!

Isn't she cheeky?

Working with children continues to inspire me beyond words. Stepping back into a world full of imagination, color and life; and catching that spark in each child...it's an extraordinary and unpredictable experience every single time! Thanks to Chloe and her parents for letting me peek into the sweet life they share.
