My granddaughter Madison and her friends have gone through school together since kindergarten and now are graduating high school . A new chapter in their lives is about to began.

I just thought this shot shows the simple pleasures of summer. Taken at Beechwood Farms, just outside Pittsburgh, PA.

For me this picture represent a county feel that is very distinct to Nashville. It embodies spring time and music. This picture is one that I am very proud of as a photographer.

Shown here, my daughter, Cheyenne, and family dog, Zoe, look full of sunshine and happiness. To me it expresses summer; joyful and exuberant. I took this picture while "the girls" were hanging out together on our swingset. Full of unconditional love and playfulness, this photo depicts what we wish for most in a pet!

My granddaughter seemed to sense this was a day for celebrating. I was so pleased to capture this joyful moment with her parents.

On a lazy summer day, "pop-pop" gives his granddaughter a lesson on blowing bubbles.

What is it with little boys and water in the summer? It doesn't matter if it's the pool, the lake, a slip-n-slide, or a sudden summer rainshower...if my little boy can get wet he's thrilled! This is special to me because it reminds me of when I was a little girl and I told my mom I'll use the umbrella, I promise...Yeah, right!!

This is my 4 year old daughter, Taylor. I took the picture this past weekend in a large field adjacent to a soccer field. I originally intended to take some soccer pictures, but ended up in the field instead with a much better subject.

This picture was from a recent morning at the park with my granddaughter.  Her

complete inhibition and pure joy of riding on the swing made me think of the

simple things in life and how very important they are.  Ahh...to live in the

moment!! 

This picture is of one of my best friends. She is a very important figure in my life who works hard and supports me in everything she does. This was taken in May, in a field near my house. I hope all of your wishes come true. :)

I love watching my grandsons play baseball. This was just a day at the ballpark in May. Stopping action is my favorite thing to do.

It's May and my grandson is the first one in the pool this year....the water is NOT warm! This is Connecticut for heaven's sake.

This is a photograph of my youngest daughter, Daisy, having a whale of a time at the local park last month. She's one crazy little girl and i think this shows her character and spirit in a nutshell.

After completing his self-motivated challenge 365x50KM where he had rode his bicycle minimum 50KM a day for 365 days or a year without any miss.

This picture was taken on July 4th during my family's vist to New York. While the rest of us were enjoying the sights from the boat, my 4-year-old daughter preferred cooling off in the shade. New York in July was truly hotter than Texas!

This picture was taken on a missions trip to Kigali Rwanda. This boy was in a local orphanage along with 51 kids and 5 adults. Their joy was very inspirational that we should take light in everyday.

This photo was taken during our Desert Safari family trip in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in September 2008. Despite the hot weather, the family pursued our first-ever all-girl adventure trip. Through this photo, we were able to capture the moment, that is, human excitement and nature combined.

A friend of my boyfriend took us by surprise while we were on our trip to the jungle. While hiking to get to the waterfalls, he took this beautiful moment. All those itches from mosquitoes and tiredness were worth it while watching my favorite pic -- with my love.

This picture is when my daughter first time met her baby brother in hospital...That expression of happiness and warmth in her face is always going to be my best memory.

I hope you dance. My son and his senior prom 2019. His girlfriend loved how her dress twirled and would spin around like a little girl in a new dress. I LOVE the true laughter shown on her face.

The first time we visited Hawaii. We were exhausted from 12+ of travel but it was so beautiful we couldn’t wipe the smile from our faces.

The best gift I have ever received was becoming a mother. No matter how tired I am from a long day of work, I always look forward to seeing my precious son. He makes life worthwhile in every single way. I wouldn’t trade being a mother for anything. Cheers to all of the amazing and strong mother’s, because without you, there’s no such thing as pure love.
