… Laurynn….  :)   

My newest niece arrived last Tuesday and over the weekend we had the opportunity to get together to do her first portrait session. Lets just say that little Laurynn has a mind of her own when it comes to doing portraits LOL!  But in the end - after a lot of hard work on all our parts - we were able to capture some precious images of her!  We even got one of big brother (big sister was so not wanting to do portaits so we missed out on that one - so next time) and baby!

So blah blah.. everyone  just wants to see the images, right? Thanks for all the well wishes and congrats on her arrival! I’ll be sure to pass them along to mom and dad!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! | {Jacksonville baby photography}

ahh… the first birthday. Full of energy, independence and cake!  Gotta love it!

This sweetie just finished up her first year Little Things Baby Plan and it really is hard to believe that she is a year old already. Take a peek back at her newborn session…

It’s always so bittersweet watching these little ones grow up right before my eyes. In fact this sweetie has an older brother and sister as well that I photographed too. Man time flies, doesnt it?  Here she is now at 1 year old and just full of life, full of energy, full of love (and full of independence too right mom? hehe…)

New little one | {Jacksonville newborn portraits}

Getting back into the swing of things and what better way than to enjoy my first session back with this sweet little new baby girl!! She is precious and let us play a little at the end of her session - but not too much as she wasnt so happy about the idea of being moved around. But we had a great time and captured some awesome images with this first one being one of my favorites… flashing that little smile…

A matter of the heart

March 18, 2010 | Filed Under Just Blabbin' | 3 Comments 

You are all probably wondering what happened since the blog has not been updated in a few weeks. Figured I best let you all know what was going on (although if you are a Facebook “friend” or “fan” you are probably already aware)

A few weeks ago I headed into the doctors office for a routine type of thing. While there they discovered that my blood pressure was rather high and that my pulse was running really fast. It didn’t come down before I left the appointment so they told me I needed to take it easy, keep an eye on it and head over to the cardiologist. The blood pressure came down (seems it was high b/c I was running a fever and had an infection) but the pulse was still staying high. After a couple weeks of taking it easy it has lowered a bit - which is good - but when they did an echo in the office they found something that was not quite right with my heart. Long story short I ended up in the hospital one morning (not emergency - it was outpatient) having a TEE so they could get a better look at the heart and all that was going on. I do have some “issue” with the heart with these small strands of tissue that are in there that normally shouldn’t be; however, they don’t really seem to be causing a problem so it’s going to be one of those wait and see type of deals. This doesn’t explain the shortness of breath that I was having nor the rapid heart rate from time to time so we are still doing some testing to get to the bottom of it all.

But the good news is that ther is nothing significantly wrong with my heart as far as they can tell ! YAY!!! So I’ve begun taking sessions again. Doc still says that most of my issues are probably from stress, anxiety and overworking myself so I’m taking it slow. So if you are in need of  a session please be sure to plan accordingly as I’ll only be doing 2 sessions a week (with 2 ordering sessions too). :)

Thanks to all of you that have sent cards, emails and well wishes. They were fabulous and really made me smile. I felt so blessed to know that you were all thinking of me in my time of need and were very understanding when I needed to move sessions around for appointments.  LOVE YOU ALL!!!
