Grateful

I have been overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude the last couple of months, I think I am nostalgic because I am all round and pregnant 🙂 I love my little family and am enjoying feeling this little baby doing gymnastics in my tummy.  I am grateful for my two little red heads who grow and learn new things everyday, who keep me busy and crazy and so full of love and happiness.  And then of course my big red head who I love so much, I am so grateful for the most wonderful best friend and spouse.  Danny is completely supportive of me since I have started this business and loves me unconditionally even when I am being all crazy and pregnant.  I think I may be the luckiest girl on the planet!

I am so filled with joy with the sessions I have had this fall, meeting wonderful families with fun beautiful children and brand new babies.  Oh goodness,  I am so excited and grateful that I get to be a part of capturing these wonderful memories!  Photography brings me such joy and happiness.

Oh and then of course I am so grateful for the wonderful Gina.  I met her earlier this year as I attended the Making Things Happen workshop in NYC.  She is pretty much amazing.  An amazing photographer and an all around amazing person.  She is authentic, real, funny and inspiring.  Gina was going to be in NYC for 2 days and I had to take advantage to get my own family portraits taken.  Danny will add this to one of my crazy pregnant ideas “so you want to drive 4 hours to Brooklyn to get our pictures taken for an hour and half and then drive back”  Umm yes, thank you!  That is how important pictures and photography are for me.  And I had to share some of them because Gina is amazing.  It brings tears to my eyes to have these wonderful moments captured, and with ME in them 🙂

Again Gina, thank you!

PS, I am joining in on a gratitude project.  During the month of November take a picture of something you are grateful for.  I am doing mine on instagram and you can follow me at aprilmn.  It is a perfect time of year to celebrate gratitude, I encourage you to join me whether it is taking a picture or just writing something down each day!

Happy November everyone 🙂
