March 2nd, 2012...

quite sure that my final niece was born today. *tear. Brynn came early this morning. 4:33am to be exact and she came weighing in at 7lbs 10oz. and 19" long...
She came about a week ahead of my schedule, because I'm still working on her "in tummy" shots...

 

Then it was time to get messy...

Sneaky Dziuba Family

Love this family and I'm always super excited when I get to capture them...

Can't wait until you back in the states again so we can capture more!

Vday Sneaky...

Timmons Twins Sneaky

These two dolls are getting quite a bit bigger these days and I was once again blessed to get to snap them up. :)

 I mean really though, how cute is this family! 
This family is amazing. They are generous, caring, so loving and wonderful examples of what it truly means to love like Jesus loves!


This last time I was with The Timmons I took notice of the way they let their kids just be kids. Funny concept right. For me I tend to get so wrapped up in rules and consquences and "acceptable" behaviors that I often forget what it means to just let Seth be what he is. A 3 year old little boy. 
Let him talk silly and be loud and bounce around. Let him dump out the entire box of toys because he's looking for that one little matchbox car at the bottom. Who cares! He'll clean it up later, he always does! Let him be a three year old boy because that's what he is!!!

Thanks you Hilary & Tim once again for teaching me something valuable. 

And because I can't post this blog without giving Tim's "Let's be beautiful" project a shout out... 
ONLY 3 Days Left to donate!
Be sure to visit the link below and watch the video. This man is doing great things and truly using his talents like he should! 
Let's be beautiful together and make a difference by helping Tim.

Recent work...

I leave on vacation in two days and to be quite frank, I can't get the smell of the pine tress off my "lake bound" brain.
I would normally be doing individual posts for each of these lovely clients; but each time I begin to type one up I get consumed with thoughts of packing lists, sand toys, life vests, sunscreen and the thought of how long overdue I am for this time of nothing-ness.
A time of stringing together floaty rafts with my sisters and talking about marriage and parenting and what the latest gossip mag we brought with us says.

Nothing like the attempt of undoing tangled fishing line, that, lets be honest, I'm going to give up on and beg Matt for help!

A time of community with great people and true geninue good ol' fashion fun... canoe races, fishing competitions and swims across the lake.

Nothing like the bickering that always comes with setting up a tent with your husband. :)

A time to enjoy the only vacation, that I actually lose weight on because I'm doing so much hiking, wakeboarding, swiming, tubing and just generally active things.

Nothing like the look on Seth's face when he sits in Matt's lap and put his little hands on the stearing wheel, and realizes HE's driving the boat!

A time to create memories, traditions... life. A time of me soaking up every breathtaking second of the most beautiful place on earth with my amazing family.

And so, you see, I can't possibly put together a thoughtful post about anything else but what I spend all year waiting for, my vacation to Shaver Lake!!!

I will however post photos of the current things in my editing pile and inform these amazing clients that their blogs will come soon and I won't forget to give them each their time to shine. :)

Happy Wednesday to Everyone!

bad parent day...

Ever just have one of those days where you feel like a bad parent? moments where your patience is running so thin you think you're going to lose it at any moment? I'm having one of those days!

A day where I had to say sorry to my 3 year old for being "mean", and a day where already (at only 10:00am) I've put him on too many time-outs. 





























A day where this little girl face looks like this because she just wants my attention, and I'll I 
want is some sleep, and a pedicure. (I know, bad parent!)

I'm just having a "I need a me moment" and while I was caught up in all my selfishness I look over from my desk and I see this happening...

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh man!!! Really?!?!?! And now I just feel like a big jerk for not giving her the love she's now giving her baby!

It was such a sweet moment, and it just completely washed away all my "me"-ness I was consumed in.
I mean I still really want a pedicure and I would love to get some sleep right now but, really... I would trade a thousand pedicures and a million hours of sleep for one second spent doing this with her!

Thank you sweet girl for reminding me (once again) that I need to soak up this time! 
Thank you for making me want to be a better parent!

No Title. No Excuse. No-thing I can say except sorry...

Sorry I haven't blogged. To say life is crazy right now would be an understatement! Even right now I'm having so much ADD I can barely right this entry. 

The last three weeks have been a big blur... 

from the "bads" of a computer crashing, to 3:30am work wake times too often, to Elle being allergic to almond milk (which took two of those three weeks to figure out), to dropping an unexpected $1400+ on a new mac (which I'm extremely thankful for, but so overwhelmed by), to a family emergency, to school finals; all the way to the "goods" of my photography business being busier then ever, Seth learning to swim, getting an "A" in my class, to Elle taking her first steps, and to taking big leaps of faith on the home front! 

What to say next?! I don't know. I keep starting sentences and then backspacing trying to figure out just the right set of words... 
What I can tell you is I have LOTS of photos to share, lots of love to give, and lots of life to enjoy. 
Currently I have three 'draft' blog's in the works so there is more to come... I'll just ask that you simply be patient during this extremely busy time. Thank you to all my readers, comment leavers, and followers of layceelemons.com.


And because what is a blog post without pictures... here you go!
