Baby D

This gorgeous little guy has the most beautiful skin. When I got ahold of him he was beyond the 2 week newborn window...us photographers love the sleepy, bendable first couple of days. It doesn't take long to be wide awake and sensitive to all stimulation. I have to say that even though I didn't get to pose him very much he is so sweet. Not one protest.

Prados Family

How striking are everyone's eyes in this family? I can't get over how photogenic they are. Even Mikey the dog!

Lists

When I was about 9 or 10 I made a list of things to accomplish in my life. Kinda my own personal bucket list. Much of it has to do with driving things - semi, dragster, Harley. I have always been a little obsessed with speed and adrenaline. How much money I was to make before 30, my sticker collection, skydiving, all kinds of stuff. I remember spending alot of time writing this in my spiral notebook.

I never forget it.

I don't need to look at it and cross things off . I know it even know 30 year later.

The other day while we were walking on the beach taking pictures of the kids I started thinking

the only thing I didn't include would be my greatest accomplishments of all. I get to be a mom. I have 4 beautiful, perfect, healthy kids who are compassionate and loving.

A great husband who has loved me for almost 20years.

I need to update my list of accomplishments. Add the life that is perfectly mine and pretty great.
