life is GOOD…

until next time~

a father and son adventure..

last weekend trip to Monteagle Tn., South Cumberland State Park, Stone Door Trail…

I love this photo. of my guys. of their time together. time they both will always remember. these Boyscout events are so much more then just a hike or a camp out. they are precious time spent with a father and son. skills Calvin is learning along side his father that he would never do otherwise. memories Calvin will take into his adulthood. memories of a caring present father.  the encouragement, joys, struggles, wonder and success, involved in these outdoor hikes and camping trips together are the best of times… something they will always have together… priceless!

My always thoughtful husband, picked up 5 tickets from Bridgestone to the dress rehersal  of The Student Prince, Opera  for me to invite 4 of my fabulous friends to attend last Thursday night. Bridgestone employees are often given the opportunity for FREE tickets to the dress rehearsals, which are actual performances, of events at TPAC. We had a wonderful time. Starting out taking a few quick point & shoot photos at home, Tricia was home sick with the flu so we held a balloon to represent her anyways! We had a marvelous dinner at Wasabi Japanese Steak house and grill… The Opera was wonderful… And we will never forget Cindi’s little incident walking over the grate! A true Marilyn moment!   I am grateful to have such fun friends to share times like these… and a husband who is always so thoughtful!

time for just one from my family session yesterday… more soon!

Been a while since I’ve posted a music video…  I feel like this today…

This month, November, marks my one year business anniversary. I truly love this business, well the business part maybe not as much! so glad to have a reliable account, but the photography part, I love immensely!

I am booked for 2008. I will begin to take 2009 photo sessions in February.  Look for changes to my website in January also; one will be my complete new price list posted.

I cherish my dreams of my business in the years to come.

Thanks! to all my clients, who made this first year such a joy for me!

I was thrilled to see these photos Ellen emailed of their portrait display in their new home. I was privileged to have been given the opportunity to photo them twice before they moved from TN… Such a great family… You are all missed.. Thanks Ellen for sending these…

until next time-

sharing one more of these “guys”…

don’t you just love that missing tooth “spot”? perfect! both of them, so photogenic and so so fun to photograph…

until next time… and that should be soon 

Proudly serving with honor for 27 years… I am so very proud of my husband and his service… Much love to you Jim, always….

Have you hugged a Veteran today?
