new flash

I heart my new flash...

mom

Happy Mother's Day to the mom I go to for all my mom advice (she always has the answer I need) - I love you mom...

Happy Mother's Day!

For Mother's Day, Rubie got me a new flash for my camera. I usually hate the flash, so this is new territory for me, but so far it is amazing! I have some shadow issues to work out, but I will figure it out in time.

I still cannot believe how much Rubie has changed my life. I can't imagine life without her - she is amazing already, with her big, big, big personality. I feel so lucky to be a part of her life and watch her grow up...

I like the colors in the background of this one....

This one was for my photography class. The assignment was to make something stop...

cheese

Today I asked Rubie if she loves her mommy. Her response -
"yeah........I love cheese."

This first picture is my favorite - there's something about hair bows and Mary Janes that just say "little girl" to me...

at daddy's soccer game again...

a face only a mother could love...

picnic in the backyard...

Friday afternoon, we decided to have a picnic in the backyard (complete with snacks)


Apparently, Rubie likes picnics...

As we all know, Rubie is a daddy's girl...

Time for hair and make-up...
