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?).

I love your countdown pictures! I might have to copy that idea when we're waiting to travel. Right now we're still waiting on a referral. You don't have much longer, very happy for you & your family!
You're definitely getting closer! What do you mean by "paperwork"??? What paperwork do you have to do?
I was also thinking I needed to copy your countdown picture idea! Then again, don't they say that imitation is the finest form of flattery??? Feel flattered, friend!
