tidbits and some images of course - knoxville senior portrait photographer

my good intentions of more blogging have truly gone by the way side, basically before i even started and that my friends is not good! so here I am on Wednesday the 1st of July making a promise to myself to well blog more. Which if even once a week it would be more then now - LOL.

this week so far.

- i've been listening to this non stop
i can remember when i was in the 1st grade [i think] and walking in the front door of our home on Palm Ave in Modesto - and my Uncle and Mom so excited cause my Uncle had bought the Thriller album - we popped that record on and had a dance party straight up in our living room. those were the days. now i've totally kept the tradition alive with DeLaura Dance Parties. The kids and i blast a good dance song and laugh our booties off as we dance around our kitchen - the current favorite is Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club. So much our favorite my husband has this as 'my' ringtone when I call him...

- my littles have been with their aunts/uncle/cousins/nan and pop since Sunday morning. I miss them like crazy crazy crazy but boy has the house stayed so very clean and i've been so productive. They will sleep in their own little beds tonight. I have a feeling they are pretty beat - so much fun will do that to you!

- i've been editing all my senior sessions of late. i am loving so many of the images but i will leave you with this one cause well it has to do with a contest and it's fun and if you know any high school students you should direct them to Peachtree Studio Seniors - the blog [it will be updated later today]

Have a beautiful day - a lovely wednesday.
enjoy the sunshine

which do you like better . . . Knoxville Senior Portraits - knoxville photographer

I just love love love these beautiful images of a recent senior portrait session. I can't decide which I like the best. Black and white or warm tone . . . help me decide, leave a comment and help me out! thanks so much
on another note I am really bummed that for some reason i can't make my images really big any more in blogger - they changed the coding or something. BUMMMMMMER!

I have done some many sessions this last week - I made a sneak peek collage . . . look, how lucky am i? such beautiful, sweet, smart, amazing teenagers. makes me feel very confident in our future!

on the daily . . . photographer Knoxville TN wedding

do you think I can. blog on the daily? I would like to - I would like to do random blog posts along with my sneak peeks and photography posts so here i am trying - not totally committing but yes saying I will try. I want to document my next year of life both business and personal. I feel on the cusp of a lot. My schedule is PACKED and I feel blessed every time I am able to lift my camera to my eye and help document a moment. i know i've said it before but it is so so so so true. blessed is what i feel. excited and overjoyed. so today is a new day, a new dawn and new blog semi committment for me! Each blog post MUST have an image so here is a few senior portrait sneak peeks form last week . . .

kind words - knoxville wedding photographer

we have no idea the power of a kind word. i have probably blogged about this before but it is very true and a reminder is needed. on day while at borders buying some books/goodies, me not having the best day ever walked up to the cashier to pay for said goodness and chatted a moment with the cashier when she said to me "i hope this doesn't sound to weird but you have the most perfect teeth, they are so pretty" i think that happened to me about 2 years ago and still when i think of the little moment it makes me smile. it makes me feel good. a total stranger. she say good teeth, she liked my teeth and she told me. anyway the whole point is when we see something we like, think is beautiful, makes us happy, something we appreciate - let's all try to express that just a little more. a sort of compliment pay it forward. you never know how much a kind word or two can greatly impact a persons day, month or even 2 years.

and I am grateful for these kind words from some of my recent wedding clients.
i am grateful to each of them - for accepting me with open arms into their very special moments and days. i am honored and blessed. thank you.
