This past year, Ceci has been diagnosed with MDS, a disorder of the blood and her life has been turned upside down, as well as her families and everyone close to them.  Please visit her blog, HERE to read about her journey and how you can help.

Aren’t these the coolest slippers?!

…AND the most fabulous sandals?!

Love these next images with Ceci and her mom…they make me smile :)

This necklace was given to her by a close family friend who’s son passed away at age 23 of neuroblastoma…she gave Ceci this necklace saying that he was her guardian angel.

:):)

These following three images were captured by sister-in-law and friend, Pammy…

Ceci, you are absolutely  b e a u t i f u l !   Good luck getting on Oprah!

Thank you for letting us photograph this part of your journey on your climb back to great health :)  Let’s do it again soon!

Last week I got together with these girls for some generational fun.  2 sisters + 1 daughter/niece = fun :)

Beautiful sisters

Fun at the park with Auntie

Even hubby/dad got in for a few shots

I love this next one…the look on her face when she got a little bubble water in her mouth is too funny.

Thanks guys – I had a great afternoon!

Santa brought Abby a shiny new camera for Christmas so right before the new year, she and I got together with my good friend, Lisa and her lovely daughter, Savanah to test the goods.  We went for a picture taking adventure at the Gilbert Riparian Preserve

The girls were so much fun and were more than happy to pose for the camera…

I just love their enthusiasm, they get so excited to photograph everything around them.  Kids definitely see things from a different perspective and they often spot things we adults sometimes miss.

Abby tripped and her camera fell into a little duck poo, no worries…no damage was done, although she didn’t touch the camera the rest of the afternoon.

I love these next two images…

Here is a little collage of Abby’s photos…things she saw through her lens.
