I am so happy that my friend Becca is in town from Maryland. We went down to Duniden so I can take some pictures of her beautiful self. If only we weren't so many miles apart. I sure do miss her!

I need it...most every morning!

Our 2nd annual MS Walk at Lowry Park Zoo, Tampa Bay.

Happy mornings in our household. This isn't the most spectacular picture, but this is so sweet. Laila was playing and Koda came right over to give her some doggy sniffs. For the most part he stays away from her, unless she is eating or someone is here he wants to protect her. He still seems to be unsure about her at times. But he's learning to love her. ha! It's so cute.

Thanks to my best friend Becca and her wonderful ideas I have decided to do the photography challenge. We have both been wanting to get into photography for a while now and wanting to start a business together, but unfortunantly it is hard considering we are hundreds of miles away. We have the same camera, sames lenses...so we each practice and work hard at it. I am going to attempt to take a picture each day of things I have been practicing on and blog it. It will force me into practicing more on different objects and people. As you all know I enjoy being behind the camera (and infront of it at times!). I am always up for new challenges and would love to take pictures of precious children, families, couples, pets, and just simply everyday living.

My little girl is hard to photograph. She barely wants to sit still and she now wants to run all over the place. Doesn't help she was distracted by the beautiful herons and ducks at the park. I'm learning and practicing a lot! Not that thrilled with these, may have to snap some more. But here are some of Laila for her second Easter. I'm ahead of the ball this time and took them early. We got a busy month planned and before you know it Easter will be here. Looking forward to spring being in full bloom!

Today, I had the pleasure of taking portraits of the Hatcher family. Mommy Shannon is an old childhood neighbor friend I grew up with. I got to meet her little man for the first time today. Hayden is 6 months old and couldn't be more adorable! I got hundreds of pictures and it was hard for me to narrow it down to the one's I wanted to share, but here they are. It was the most perfect weather for a day in the park. Auntie MarMar came along and played assistant.
