jennifer i had such a nice time with your family.
dad saved the day with sonic. I have flair in writing and wish to grow ahead in the same field. Can you help me out in knowing how do you manage to be so good and perfect in your writing? I want to know if there is any coaching class or exams that I may have to join to polish my English language. I looked at all the glasses, but none seem to match your description. Man these pics make me soooo ready for Summer! 🙂 I did a post yesterday about you on my blog & wanted to tell you. 🙂 Love pictures of kiddos…what precious moments. Is it summer yet? You are so talented! Glad I stumbled over here! :^D Beautiful pictures… And I ADORE children in glasses.

I also have girls, 3 and then 15 yrs. later I adopted 3 girls….so 6 girls and so much fun!!

All of these are amazing! I love how cute those girls are in their glasses! I love the glasses. So cute! Gorgeous photos! Oh wow, awesome photos! Girls are just to cute! Love them all!

These girls are too cute and your photography makes me want to go frolic in a field. they are all three SOOO adorable! The glasses, the sun dresses, the curls. Wow. beautiful photographs- you have a beautiful family- love your blog- so colorful. And you manage to take these photo shoots with your Rebel XTi? No fancy schmancy lens or anything? I have the same camera and am loving it. But figured one would need something better to do photo sessions? Beautiful!!!! Dreams of summer are now dancing in my head. mmm to be outside again. they are scrumptious!!! i can hear the giggling. thanks so much for a breath of summer. I love the photos! What a great session! Cute photos! I’m ready for the warm weather so I can go out and take pics of the girls!!!! Adorable…makes me yearn for summer days… Oh, those are so adorable. Having a little girl with glasses, I’m a little partial to their cuteness. Beautiful photos! spectacular sunny compelling photos! so glad I stopped by. I think you’re hysterical! And I LOVE your house and your photography…I’ve never had Sonic before! (I live in the N.East)…it looks like a giant blue slushie from Target! Ahhhh, that makes me long for warmer weather! Love the haircuts, glasses and the cute summer outfits. Love the pictures of a hot summer day as we get set to go back to school, after 2 snow days. Oh those hot days… I sure do miss them. Even the sticky sweaty ones. The green just looks so beautiful. Looks like a fun family:) Um….WE didn’t forget you were a photographer, hun…Your talent is everywhere! Gorgeous sweaty, clammy kidlets! Sweet pictures….black and white is so timeless isn’t it? These are fantastic. What cute kids! So sweet…the black and white is my favorite. thank you Brilliant shots. And your subjects are adorable. Everyone looks so relaxed in your photos! Love the last 2! Makes me CRAVE hot sun!! I too love the lying in the grass picture. What a precious moment. LOVE those! The 2nd one to the end… where they are laying in the grass laughing… priceless!!! i have probably 25 family sessions i haven't shown here but levi jumps to the top.
the print of his name was a baby gift for jess and joel for levi's room. those baby rolls…cruel punishment to a mommy like me with no babies at home. Awesome pictures! I just love him in the locker basket…genius! I am so happy for them! Such a beautiful baby! Your photos captured his essence perfectly. I love the quilt that his grandma made for him, too. Such precious memories. What kind of camera do you use? oh, he’s beautiful! Love the picture of him all swaddled in green soooooooo cute, I don’t know which photos is my favorite but I do love those feet. Meg you did such a spectacular job taking photos of precious Levi…I can’t wait to meet him myself! Since we can’t meet him yet, it touched my heart to see your pictures! thanks meg 🙂 i LOVE that his grandma made a blanket for him out of the ‘cora dress’ scraps. what a wonderful idea … and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY! i got chills when i read that … that is so so special. 🙂 darling. Perfect. What a doll! Love the photos! He is so beautiful and I just can’t help but cry every time I see this sweet boy or read his mama’s blog. Lucky you! You’re pics are beautiful! what a beautiful, beautiful little boy. but to send me to the story of his sister … ?? oh gosh. i sobbed. for half an hour last night i cried big, fat, ugly cries for them. that beautiful little girl, that chubby leg sticking out of the sink, and knowing that right at that moment her little body was being eaten by the monster. you caused me to go into an instantaneous grief for them, following right into fervent prayer. so, thanks a lot. and, thank you. and, god bless that sweet family. The picture of little Levi’s feet . . . sigh!!! 🙂 those are so heart warming! sigh….makes me want another. I love the ones with the quilt! Beautiful and so special, too. so sweet. if i could have anything to do over in life, it would be to take today’s photography equipment and YOU and run back to 1988-2000 and take photos all over again. Especially in 1988. Oh my gosh… that makes my heart sing for them!!!! I’m so happy for them! And that blanket… PRECIOUS! absolutely darling! what a precious little gift for his family. i love the idea behind his sweet quilt and it’s so pretty and colorful. HAPPY!!! great job meg Such a beautiful baby! You did a wonderful job! The baby swaddled ~ PRECIOUS!! Only problem with seeing this beautiful baby and these beautiful pictures ~ makes me want another baby!!! Please don’t do that to me!!!! 🙂 Oh my word, he is precious!! I also follow their blog. He is so sweet. We LOVE the pictures Megan. They are FABULOUS like always! Thanks so much for taking them for us. Let me know when you want to do more. :o) Hope you got lots of sewing done yesterday. absolutely beautiful. i am so happy for them. oh wow. he is so sweet. and you are one gifted photographer, meggie. i love these pictures! beautiful! are you a member of the flickr group Natural Light Child Photography? if not- you should be! http://www.flickr.com/groups/naturallightchild/ great advice, chatting with others doing the same thing as you, and a place to throw around business ideas. (i’m in there as just trishia, though don’t get as much time as i’d like to chat in there) I seriously could not wait to see your session(s) with Levi. You captured Cora’s sweet spirit so beautifully and the images of her reached across these miles and made me feel like I had known her myself. The pictures of Levi are just as amazing. What a precious little man. Thanks for sharing them 🙂 So weird…. until very recently, my Grandma lived in Newton KS! I know your town! My great grandma, my best friend as a kid, lived at 1609 Hillcrest in the big old house. It’s not in the family any more, but it will always be Gram’s house to me. thanks for sharing those. i am so tickled for them and so touched that you got to take levi’s photograph. love em’!! … scraps from Cora dresses …. that makes my heart so happy.:-) What a special gift to that loved little guy. I love this post, Meg. Amazing job! Gorgeous baby, gorgeous quilt, gorgeous photos, and gorgeous glowing parents. They so deserve this joy. It makes my heart heavy, in a good way. 🙂 Gorgeous photos- what a gift you have! I don’t even know them and I cried! (it was the quilt!) Precious babies like that make my womb say “come on Just ONE more!”….as I’m typing this our boys are playing sooo loud upstairs that I think they might fall through! *sigh* beautiful pictures! tootsie shot so precious. OH THE CUTENESS!!! just SWEET. just beautiful. so happy for their family! He is so cute – and love the blanket so much!!! That is so precious!! You have such an amazing eye for photography! Just gorgeous pictures, I really enjoy your blog. My favorite photo is Levi swaddled, there is something about him securely wrapped and the depth to his eyes….he sees something, what? Okay, FREAKING OUT at the quilt. I have a similar one in progress 🙂 CUTE!!!! ♥ Lord, he is so sweet…. I love reading his progress over on Jess’ blog. What a blessing for them. Have you ever EVER seen so much love pour out so literally from a mommy and daddy while they are looking at and playing with their baby! He has such a precious countenance. God bless him real good, and his mommy and daddy too. He is so beautiful! God sent him to a beautiful loving couple. Cora’s scrap quilt is a lovely idea! So precious! I love looking at your photography, especially tyhe wee little ones! What a beautiful quilt & what a great idea! that quilt, what an amazingly touching and meaningful idea. and beautiful too! I keep making the same comment everytime his mama posts pictures of him but he is seriously one of the cutest babies I’ve ever seen! Hope you got a few snuggles in with that sweet baby boy. Love the swaddled pic, like a little football! Oh he is toooo precious 🙂 I’m so happy for them! And that last picture where he is all swaddled up….be still my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful pictures, and what a precious baby! Loving not only the baby, but the quilt as well! What a wonderful gift for him to have! Beautiful family, beautiful photos…you’ve truly captured the essence of a sweet baby boy. I couldn’t be happier for this family and the quilts….what an amazing treasure he will always, always have…..I want to EAT his feet! I have soooo been looking forward to seeing these pictures and was hoping you would post some soon! So cute! Love the quilt…so special. That one of him bundled in the green blankie is just precious. What a sweet little punkin. Beautiful pictures. Beautiful quilt with the sweetest meaning behind it. All babies are miracles but this baby will help heal a broken heart…I have one of those too. Kim what great pictures…and such a blessing to them too! Megan!! These photos are amazing! Great Job!! He is amazing…a true miracle. What a blessing to such a special family. The one of his little feet is precious and the quilt- love it. What an amazing thing to think to do with the leftovers of the Cora dresses. Wow. he is a very, very, very, very beautiful baby. what a squishy little blessing he is! oh my word, that soft squishy back!! i can’t take it!! Beautiful pics Meg and beautiful baby! I’m a sucker for that little downy spot at the nape of their necks……ahhh sweet baby love. 🙂 He is so beautiful…love his little feet! He is so beautiful! Oh! and the quilt, and the pics of him cuddling up with that super soft blanky in the old metal locker basket?! I’m in love! Beautiful! Meg, these photos are amazing! The toes, oh the toes!!! that quilt is amazing. He’s GORGEOUS and you did such a wonderful job of capturing his sweetness! I’m so happy for the mom and dad and the quilt is gorgeous and such a sweet treasure to have. :o) you lucky duck! great job girl! so so precious.

**************and i am really wishing i could eat a cupcake right. this. minute.************************** ps, I’ve been doing no sugar for two weeks. Other than the comfort of eating a big fat cookie or cupcake…i find my cravings are seriously dwindling. I also want a cupcake right now…but I’m choosing “eye cupcakes” on your blog. It’s eye candy to me! your pictures speak when words don’t! love them. you are awesome meg! i’ve been traveling and am just now catching up on your blog and all you’ve been up to! congrats on the “homies” win thing, love, LOVE your kitchen remodel, no sugar!!! ugh. i too am an addict :(. you never cease to inspire me. that is soooo good. I’m going to print it and put it in my journal. Thank you! I also love that book. I have two copies so that I can lend it out to friends when they need it. So glad you shared that part from the book today! It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear from the Lord! Again, thanks for sharing! Did you know yesterday was delurker day?! Love that study, too, and with you on the cover. The book sounds amazing..bad cover and all:-) It has been a tough week around here. My friend and neighbor tried for three years to get pregnant. The babies (yes twins) were making her so sick that they had to be taken at 28 weeks so she would live. She almost died three times after their birth. The girls had been fragile but stable. The littlest (2pounds) died on Wednesday. She was three weeks old and I have had such a hard time because of their sadness and I was so sure…so sure that she would live. It is hard to trust that God does all for our good sometimes. Sorry for the book..I really needed this today. Just recently found your blog and am loving it – you inspire me to see and use more COLOR in my life. Thanks for sharing that snippet from the book you are reading. For me, living in the gray is an unstable and unfulfilling place to be. God wants more for us – the abundant life. Thx for the reminder 🙂 great book…lent mine to my SIL…need to get it back..or order a new one…fav quote…later on in the book…”faithfully following the Shepherd…on step at a time?” And a prayer for every day…”if my Children sin against you Lord…may they get caught!” And pictures say 1,000 words….so you technically said 14,000 words based on how many photos you posted today. mmmmmmm..froot loops! I love the pictures and I too have cut out the sugar in my diet as well. I know it is so hard to do but I know it will be so worth it. Thanks for the passage – it was so nice to read! Have a great weekend! Big hugs! xoxoxo I am always inspired by your great, colorful photos. Today you have inspired me on a different level. Thanks for sharing. This post was timely for me to read, I posted today about my ongoing effort to calm my anxious heart. and mind. and the pictures made me smile. as usual. 🙂 which is why i have a post publishing on Sunday about you. thank you. Thank you! I really needed to hear that today! I’m not anxious…just the whole reckless abandon really struck my heart! are any of these photos a part of your etsy updates? i’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll add to it! We are on day 6 of the “eat clean” diet. Every meal consists of either egg whites, oatmeal, chicken, ground turkey, brown rice, sweet potato, zone bar or some other veggie or berry. It’s been very challenging. I love bread sooo much and anything sweet. But in this short amount of time I’ve already lost 3 pounds. Just push past the cravings…eat a little fruit. I find that helps me immensely. Thank you for posting this! You have no idea how we needed to read those words today! I think you say a lot with your pictures!! I do love the quote you gave and will have to check out that book (though now I’m scared about the cover). There is nothing I love more than a jar of Crayola markers. MEG, I’M GOING TO GET THAT BOOK NOW, BUT NEVER WOULD HAVE FOR ALL THE REASONS YOU STATED. GLAD YOU SHARED. NOW, COULD YOU PLEASE SHARE THE “HOW” TO PUTTING PICTURES ON YOUR BLOG IN THE WAY YOU DID. I AM SO SLOW ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT, AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR STEP BY STEP INFO. YOUR ROCK MEG. THANKS. GO NO SUGAR !!! did you get the bird canvas from bushel and a peck? looks like her stuff. 🙂 love the photos and i will have to add the book to the list! I am a faithful follower of your blog….you don’t know me and you will probably never know me….but I just had to comment today. Today has been a life changing day in my life as I found out today we will be having our 6th child in 7 years. I am so excited and SHOCKED at the same time and I have to TRUST that God KNOWS what He is doing in my family and our lives. I think I am going to have to get this book! With a husband that is in the middle of loosing his job right now and not getting a regular paycheck, I am a bit anxious in ALL aspects of my life. I can now only trust that God has a plan for us much bigger and better than what I can imagine! Thanks for your wise words and always making me smile. You are an inspiration and I wish I were just bit more like you! You just seem to have it all together! Me…Not so much:) Thank you for that. My husband and I have no other choice but to trust the Lord right now. I am pregnant with our first, and the doctors saw cysts in her brain. THey could be nothing, which all signs are pointing to that, or they could be fatal. All i can allow myself to dwell on right now, is that I trust the Lord and i have faith in His purposes. Thank you for that little piece from the book. I have read it over and over and will continue to do so. Blessings! hi! Meg, That message is wonderful! Thank you for sharing it! How do Fruit Loops manage to stay in your house???? Those would be gone in a SECOND around here. You crack me up. The cover of that book does look like a feminine product ad now that you mention it. One of my favourite reads, even though I wouldn’t call myself anxious either. Coincidentally, we’re doing the no-sugar thing also. My daughter’s on a special diet for her epilepsy, so we’re doing it as a family. Oh my giddy aunt. It’s tough going, but I’m assured that after two weeks, the cravings will subside. Protein shakes with frozen berries are our saving grace. Hope you have a great weekend. Meredith xo. When you have nothing to say, your pictures are awesome. I am a color lover and the white blanket of snow here currently is just making those colors pop right out. Maybe I’ll get out my BIG box of crayons 🙂 funny…about the title and the feminine product ad cover.=) what a great read, though! and is that beautiful bird plaque made by jeanne oliver?=) thanks for sharing! Love your thoughts on the cover of the book. You keep me laughing, Meg! That is a great book! Thank you for sharing that today! Happy weekend! hang in there!! No sugar – the rewards will be so good!! Meg…. I buy the individual fruit cups, applesauce, those kinds of things for us. And blocks of cheese. And apples. Oranges. Good food like that. When you get a craving, cut a chunk of cheese. Grab an applesauce snack pack. A couple or so carrots from a bag of those little “baby” carrots. Or one of those “cutie” oranges in your jar up there. Those things are small and will curb your craving, get you by until it passes. And won’t hurt your appetite for mealtime later. And are GOOD for your body! All those things are inexpensive — especially compared to the sugar goodies! If you don’t like applesauce, look at those shelves and see what’s there you like. YOU CAN DO IT, MEG!! sounds like a wonderful book Wow I might have to get that book. Loving the socks, supper cute! We read this book in my bible study last session…it was life changing for me! I LOVED it. I WAS an anxious person but now I trust that He will always take care of me and I dont need to be anxious or worry. God doesn’t like it when we worry b/c he feels like we aren’t trusting him!! That sounds like a very good book! That is good stuff. I struggle with the trust issue in all aspects of my life…especially the little things, oddly. Why is that? I can hand over bigger things easier but the small things I assume God doesn’t care about those as much. I fought the urge to have a diet coke at lunch today and I am so glad I did now. I really dont know if I could fight off a cupcake! Hope you have a good weekend Meg! I think Rachel really helped define trust and faith for me…I don’t think I’ll ever view it the same way again. I hope not. That’s a great book! I have recommended it to so many friends. I think I need to read it again… I hear ya. You helped inspire me to go the no-sugar route. I hate it, but I’ve been meaning to do it for some time now. There is never a good time. So, yesterday, I made myself do it. Literally NO sugar. NO bread. Basically nothing that tastes good. It sucks. How about you? Are you eating NO sugar, or just the obvious stuff. Good luck. You can do it!
Merry Christmas!! Love this! What did you use to create it? Hope you have a very Happy New Year! 🙂 LOVE this 🙂 Hey Meg! I love this collage. Do you do your collages in typepad? Your photography is so inspiring. I got photoshop cs4 for Christmas and have been working on a ’40 things to do while I’m 40′ list—I liked yours so much this fall and wanted to try it.—except unfortunately mine say 40 instead of 35!! I’ll link to you when I get mine posted. I just wanted to thank you for all the inspiration this year. Wish we lived closer, I’d love to meet you.

How did u do that? Love all those photos! Merry Christmas. Love it! So cheery & bright, just like your blog!! 🙂 Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Meg.
the cutest kiddos….the big beautiful blue eyes!!! What beautiful photographs you take Megan! Stunning! I hope you and your family enjoy a peaceful Christmas. I’ve enjoyed lurking and following the blog. LOVE this set! Great pics & love the sweet peas! Beautiful family and beautiful pictures! Picket fence picture = priceless! i love the picture with mom’s mouth wide open with laughter. what a beautiful moment captured. How do you do it?! You are very talented. How cute! I especially love the picket fence picture!
What beautiful girls…so cute! Oh. My. Two thoughts when I look at these pictures. One: where did the tutu’s come from, cause I need two. Two: I want to fly to where you live to have photos done. I love the pictures you take. I really do. This confirms it, I am buying petticoats for my girls! What cuties – my daughter would go nuts for those pettiskirts! the girls remind me of annie are they cousins? They are so cute and I love the tutus too! Could them two be any cuter!!!! – they are going to be even more gorgeous when they grow up!!! Adorable! I love these photos!!!! I have a question for you that I’ve been wondering for a long time…how do you get your photos to be so large when you upload them to Blogger. I can’t get mine to be very big at all…just wondering if you would share your secrets with me:) ha ha! Thanks!! I want a tutu now! Love the tutus and especially the picture of them running – too cute! Just look at those little skirts and flaying legs – too darling!!! Just saw that some were asking where the girls got their tutus. Not sure if Becky told you or not, but I’m pretty sure they got them at Von Maur. BEAUTIFUL pictures! these girls are going to be some serious heartbreakers! Darling! Perfect! Those eyes…they are great pictures. What photo editing software do you use? Have you tried to “eye pop” your portraits? I think those girlies are a-dorable. How cute is their hair? Wish I could get mine that cute! I’ve been wanting to make those pettiskirts but I can’t muster up the energy. Do you know where she got them? I want a puffy tutu.. I wonder where they got them. <3 SOOOO cute! I love those skirts. I want one 🙂 On your “35” list, I read that you wanted some sort of packaging for your photos. I don’t know if you do your packages on disc, but I saw this on Becky Higgins’ blog, and it made me think of you… Is it weird that I’m 34 and I want a tutu and their hair cuts?! Beyond adorable. I think I’m going to start wearing a tutu. OMG those two are SO PRECIOUS! I LOVE their smiles! :o) ugh…i’m melting. such cute girls and adorable photos! well done, megan…as usual! OH MY WORD…they are darling and nothing cuter than a girl in her tutu!!!!!Fabulous job AGAIN!!!! The little one reminds me of your Annie! That all-out-smile. Gorgeous girls. Thanks for sharing. xoxo SO adorable! I know those 2 little beauties. You did a great job capturing them. They are just too cute for words! |
