This little guy from the Rockville Maryland area was in last week and was Mr. Smiley for all of about 40 minutes at which time he decided the session was over – lol! He just was not in the mood so mom and grandma brought him back this past week. This time, he was totally “on”. His other grandma calls him “Dude” and says he smiles when she does, so you know I had to try it and believe it or not, it did get his attention! Too cute!
So, here is a sneak peek from little “Dude’s” second visit…he did great mom and dad!

A moment captured in time…a tender moment…a brief moment…a bittersweet memory that will last in this couple’s hearts forever. Shortly after the creation of this image, their sweet baby boy slipped from this world into the arms of Jesus. For reasons his sweet parents will never understand, he was called home.
Their loss touched all of us here at the studio deeply and we continue to pray for them. So, at the request of his parents, I share this in memory of little Micah Aiden. You can tell he was loved so very deeply…

After quite a bit of rain yesterday, today is a lovely spring day here in Northern VA! I am finishing editing a recent portrait studio session but could not help but snap a quick photo of this charming little pansy at my front door! I could tell he too was happy to see the sun – his little face looking upwards towards it! I have to say, I feel the same way! I love this little poem and wanted to share it…
“Hearts-Ease” by Emily Dickinson ~ 1893
I’m a little heart’s-ease,
I don’t care for pouting skies!
If the butterfly delay
Can I, therefore, stay away?
If the coward bumble bee
In his chimney corner stay,
I, must resolute be!
Who’ll apoligize for me?
Dear, old-fashioned little flower!
Eden is old-fashioned, too!
Birds are antiquated fellows!
Heaven does not change her blue.
Nor will I, the little heart’s-ease–
Ever be induced to do!

Have a blessed day today!!!
