A friend shared this lady’s post and I was totally inspired by it. The best kind of gift you can give in this world is a random act of kindness. It doesn’t have to cost a thing. Spread the love. Do something nice for a complete stranger without expecting anything in return and e-mail me about it. If you can include a photo of your random act, I’ll blog about it once I get 37 of them. I’ll give away a free session ($300 value) to the one that inspires me the most (you can even give it away if you want). Deadline is March 30.
Had to share these words from Apolo Anton Ohno:
“Gdmorning! Try this: replace every negative thought w/ a positive 1, approach today w/ a determined attitude & b happy about the challenge.”
Amen brother.

During the crazy storms we’ve had, I picked up a few books to read. I haven’t really read since before my first son was born 13 years ago. Before that I used to be obsessive about reading. Having 4 kids sort of stuck reading on the backburner for me. I missed it, but there was never any time. I weaned myself away from the Internet and devoted my free time to reading. So now you can say I’ve gone a bit overboard. February has been a slow month for me business-wise, so I dove right in.
I even borrowed my son’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians. He has always hated reading and I’ve struggled for years to find something he could latch onto. He was the kid who’d rather be grounded than read a book. It made me sad because as a kid I’d stay up past my bedtime, under the covers with a flashlight, just so I could read A Wrinkle In Time or The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. But Percy was the character that he latched onto. Now he’s reading the second book in the series. I’m itching for him to finish so I can read it. =)
Not pictured here is The Glass Castle. What an amazing book. It really makes you appreciate the things you have in life that so many of us take for granted. The most basic of things like food, heat, clothes, shoes… if you have a chance, I encourage you to read it.
After reading the books, I went to see Dear John and Percy Jackson and the Olympians at the movie theater. It always amuses me how much they change the storyline in movies. The books are always better. Even my son agreed. =)

I’d like to wish Miles a very happy 3rd birthday tomorrow! I had the pleasure of photographing Miles, his baby brother Josh, their dad Jeff and mom Aimee. Poor Josh was tuckered out not long into our session, but it gave me a great excuse to get a sweet sleeping shot of him on mom’s shoulder. Oh that face and his little pouty lips! Miles was really into his Elmo book, so the whole family snuggled in together on their big comfy couch to browse each page.
