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?).

Just too cute!!! Keep the pictures coming.
She really looks wonderful, Maria. Love love seeing all the pics. (thanks, Jennifer)
You know I love a girl with big bows!!! Good to hear you are both making progress. Sounds like the trip to the mountains was tiring, but worth it. The pictures are georgeous. We never made it to the mountains and I wish we did.
Adorable!!! Love the bow!
Love the kissing fish on the outfit sooo cute! Of course its really the baby that makes the outfit so cute :) The trip to the mountains sounds great...I wish we would have done it while we were there...
Good luck with crossing the border! That was the scariest part of our trip. Thank God for our facilitator. Let me just say "the power of the baby". We skipped through the crazy line at the border to the front of the line because the officers saw that we had a baby. Lets just say other people were not happy with us skipping even though the officers were telling us to. Just know that these people don't know what a single file line is. I'll say a little prayer for things to go smoothly! Keep in mind we were also crossing the border on their Christmas Holiday so it was crazy with people everywhere.
Kim
LOVE the bow !!!!
