Hamilton’s Maternity and Family Shoot

HAMILTON-0249

Last November I was lucky enough to style for a maternity and family session for friends of ours,  Mary and James.  We had been talking about a styled shoot since their son William was a wee lad but good thing we delayed for the perfect opportunity . . . the news that they were welcoming a new addition to their family!

Mary handles pregnancy beautifully, can’t you just see it in her smile?

I was beyond impressed when she turned up to Saturday morning dance class the week before her delivery and still managed to stretch and chase circles around her toddler like the rest of us!  She received a standing ovation when she turned up the following week with her brand new baby and William in tow!  Those two are very lucky lads to have such a dedicated momma!

Happy Birthdays!

My dad Larry (above right) turned 67 years young yesterday.  Today, the baby of his brood (below right), turns 21 YEARS!  The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as they say . . . 

 Sterling, wishing you the best birthday yet! In between partying your faces off in Vegas and having a few moments like this . . . .

May you, your father, and your older brother bond at the bar, and may they impart a little wisdom on reaching adulthood.  Here’s mine:
I believe much of what is stated above is already inherently in you.  At this age it can be the best of times and the worst of times.  Always remember this beautiful Cherokee legend:

Go out there and feed the right wolf bro!

For Larry


March is full of birthdays on my calendar, and two more expectant are soon to be added! Today marks my fathers, a perfect occasion to share this blog with my family. Since St. Patrick’s feast day has barely ended, an Irish toast to you dad:
“Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.”
