Today is the first Thursday of November.  The first Thankful Thursday.  I have so many things to he thankful for this year, but this one in particular begins the series of Thankful Thursdays until Thanksgiving.

I want to thank YOU.  My fans, followers, friends, and family who are my biggest supporters.  Thank YOU for all you do, the dedication to help put my name out there, scheduling photo sessions, etc.  You guys ROCK!

I’m making this a double Thankful Thursday.  I’m also thankful for HUGE changes in my business (and life for that matter).

And by huge, I mean going from this….

To this….

Yup.  This girl is changing her photography name. :) With divorce comes change, and change means changing my name back to my maiden name.  Being that my photography business included my married name, I have decided it’s time for a change.  BIG change.

Special THANK YOU to FookaDESIGNS by Shanon Fouquet for the AMAZING logo!!! Go find her on Facebook and LIKE her!! She rocks!!!

With this change comes different options, packages, etc.  New Facebook fan page! Everything new!  So in December I will be putting together my Facebook fan page so I will need your help in getting everyone to like it and become fans!  Starting in January new pricing will go into effect (think affordable!!!) and February the website will be relaunched with the new name. :)

I know! Big changes right?!  I love it!!!!

MHS Class of 2011 *Graduation*

That time of year again.  The time when kids become adults in an one hour ceremony.  Hats are thrown, silly string is shot out of a can, and life begins.  It’s when you reflect on the past 13 years of school and how the next 4-5 years of college or that new job will become your new chapter in life.  It’s when you give your favorite teacher, your parents and anyone else who has supported you all those years a giant hug and a big thank you.

McLouth High School Class of 2011, I congratulate you on becoming adults.  The real world is scary, but with the right support, tools, friends, and family – you’ll make it.  :) Thank you for allowing me to capture your special day.

My baby graduated from Preschool last Friday.  I was going to do a Wordless Wednesday today with one of my favorite photos from that day, but I couldn’t post without saying a few words.

Yes, it’s just a Preschool graduation.  But for a Mommy (who I might add is a tad bit emotional), it means her baby is no longer a Preschooler, toddler, infant, etc.  It means he/she is a child.  For me, he’s a little boy.  All grown up.  Too cool for kisses (hugs are still ok in front of his friends), having his first real kid birthday party this year, dressing himself, T-Ball, big boy stuff.  No longer my sweet little boy who would crawl into my arms and just rock with me in the chair.  Yes,  I have his little brother to fill that void, but when it’s your first, it’s a bitter sweet moment.

As the Pomp and Circumstance song began, I beamed.  Here comes my baby. I thought I’d cry, but instead I was one proud Momma…And he was one excited 4 year old…

Caeden,

I know someday you’ll be able to read and you’ll find this blog and after being embarrassed at first, you’ll realize the love we have for you.  As I watch you grow, I know you’ll be just ducky in this great big world.  As you begin your next chapter in life as an elementary student, remember that Mommy and Daddy are so incredibly proud of you and what you have already accomplished in life and what you are about to accomplish.

As the quote on your brother wall states, “Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!” .  Always always always try Caeden.  Give it your best and never give up.  You are one smart little boy who will one day grow up to be a very smart young man.  Be yourself and never let anyone tell you otherwise.  Grow into that confident man I know you’ll be someday.  Remember to never give up, never back down from a challenge and always love.  Duncan watches you everyday and I know someday you’ll see that admiration.  He wants to be his big brother in every since of the word and you are one amazing big brother.  I’m so blessed that you are there to protect him when the going gets tough.

Thank you for being you.  Thank you for coming into our lives and changing them for the good and best!  You are one fabulous little boy and I cannot wait to start this journey with you.  Remember we love you always and forever and remember you’ll always be my baby.

Love, Mom (Dad and Dunky-doo too!!)
