Tiffany's Photo Session

Being a mom is hard work, and often times we go unthanked and can feel unappreciated.  It isn't done on purpose, it just kind of happens.  Being a mom we kind of lose ourselves in the act of BEING mom.  Constantly caring for the children, putting them first, tending to their needs.  Making sure they are fed, clothed, healthy, safe, and succeeding in school.  A lot of times this means that mom doesn't get a chance to do something for HER, something that makes her feel nice.  Which is something every mom certainly deserves. 

I have a wonderful friend who is a wonderful mother who is like one of those moms who finds herself giving her all to her family and forgetting to do something that is simply, for her. 


I decided it was time to take my friend out and make sure she did something that was for HER.  A little confidence boost, a way to give back and let her know "Hey you, yeh, YOU.  Guess what?  YOU are absolutely AWESOME and don't ever EVER forget it!" 

My hair and make up gal Amanda was available a few weeks ago when we had a break of nice weather (finally).  So she went to work and did her hair and makeup magic on my friend.  Then my friend and I went around town to some of my favorite places and just had a blast.  We took pictures, we goofed around, we laughed (maybe even did a little shopping).  We just had a fun time. 


Don't forget to tell your mom friends that they matter too.  They are important too, and absolutely beautiful inside and out.  Mother's day is only a month away after all!!










Love ya lady! So glad I can call you my friend.

I am proud to introduce the most adorable little nephew on the face of the planet! My sweet little nephew Xzavier.  I'm so glad I can update my blog with him being my first entry to update :) 

I was able to travel to my sister's this past weekend and meet my sweet little nephew Xzavier for the very first time, he was 2 weeks old.  What a sweet heart he is!


He was wonderful during his photos and cooperated nicely! So excited to be able to show off my handsome nephew.  Wishing my little sister and her boyfriend the best with this handsome guy! Good luck!

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge - Smile

My entry for the I Heart Faces photo challenge March 4th-8th.  Curious to know what I Heart Faces is?  Please, check out their Facebook page or their website. This weeks challenge is "SMILE"





What's a better smile than that of a toddler, dressed as Dumbo.  Doesn't get much cuter than that, and she worked for peanuts.  (Ok ok so I didn't REALLY give the toddler peanuts).  This picture was taken just 3 days ago with my little buddy Aurora.  She always has a SMILE for the camera.
