Thankful Thursday: Taking Chances

Some of you may remember from Chelsea and Richard's engagement post that I am shooting their wedding this weekend. So, this Thankful Thursday post is in honor of them. You can't imagine how incredibly grateful I am to have people believe in me and my abilities, and how much I appreciate the opportunity to chase my dreams.

To Chelsea and Richard - I'm honored that you have chosen me to document your big day. I can't wait to see you on Saturday!

To everyone else who has supported me over the past year - I couldn't have done it without you. I will be forever grateful.

Thankful Thursday: It's the little things...

Today has been one of those days...you know how it is, the type of day when all the little things that can go wrong DO in fact, go wrong. So, in an attempt to turn my evening around (in time for Grey's Anatomy), I am posting this Thankful Thursday story to remind myself that life is pretty darn good.

Love is often about the little things...whether it's the small things you love about a person (their laugh, their kind heart, the fact that they never complain about taking the dog out) or the tiny things that drive you crazy (squeezing the toothpaste from the middle of the tube, not putting the toilet paper on the "right" way, or forgetting to make the bed). *By the way, Josh doesn't do any of those last three things...in fact, I'm the guilty party when it comes to all of them!*

The other day Josh was folding some laundry (yes, I know how lucky I am) and when I looked over he was painstakingly folding all of my shirts just the way I like them (I know, I'm weird, but there's really only one good way to fold a shirt! You know what I mean, folded with the sleeves tucked under and the front of the shirt facing up instead of folding it in half...? Ok, maybe I'm the only one...) I smiled and told him how much I appreciated him taking the time to fold them "my way". He looked up and said, "Isn't that what love is?"

Yes. Yes it is. <3>

Willa

Yesterday I was so thankful for the beautiful weather because I got to meet 6 month old (and 1 week!) Willa with the gorgeous brown eyes and her wonderful parents Amie and Jeff. Don't you just love her name?

Miss Willa was a great little model for the camera, and I just adore all of the outfits that Amie brought for the shoot (she told me she got them at Crazy 8 in the Coral Ridge mall if anyone is wondering!). Doesn't every little girl need a cute pink dress and a zebra belt? I think so!

Here is the sneak peek - enjoy!

I love this one of Amie and Willa & the "I Love Mommy" shirt. Too cute.

And we can't forget about Daddy!! This one was taken during a much needed bottle break - modeling is hard work!
