My condolences to you who voted April 15 as our referral day. Unfortunately, this is ALSO the day I picked, so there, I was wrong too. Next date up -- May 5. I'm SO hoping that you guys are on target. I'd love to have a referral by Mother's Day. :-)
Welcome to visitors from Portugal, Brazil and Australia! Awesome to have visitors from other countries.
Stay tuned later tonight for a post about how Ellie is already helping her country.

Ellie and Me - Gotcha Day
What Do I "DO?"
I am a photographer. I capture those moments in your life that make you smile, cry and laugh. I help you remember those tiny features about your newborn, the six month old who is starting to sit, the one year old who can't stand still long enough to get a picture. I help you remember your wedding day -- from the intimate moments to the tiniest details. I capture in print the moment your son or daughter heads off to the their first, or last, prom or formal event. I help you save who your child is as they are a senior starting off to carve their niche in the world. I want o help you remember the birthdays, the anniversaries, the moments that make up life.

About Me
- Maria
- Christian, wife, mom and photographer who loves: Jesus, my husband, my son and daughter, my parents, my friends, my church, animals, photography, reading, sports (if my son is playing), saving money with coupons, reality TV and adoption. Dislikes include being late (although I always am), lost keys (they always are), lots of noise, rude people, grits and gravy, lying, work - most of the time (unfortunately this is a necessary evil) and a messy house (but then when is it not?).

You can claim "sympathy hormones" to explain the tears. Men get sympathy symptoms when their wives get pregnant. You can have sympathy hormones! ;-)
