Best Friends {Lakeland Tampa Newborn Photographer}

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

I like her because she smiles at me and means it. ~Anonymous

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

You can make this!

I know it seems that I only photograph Gracie, but I can assure you it's only because she is the ONLY ONE WHO WILL LET ME!!

I intend to wrangle them all soon even if it means a memory card full of scowls! :)

Baby Lucas

Meet Lucas Elijah Mann!! He came into the world on March 14, at 9:18 pm.. He was 20.5 inches long and weighed 8 lbs 2 oz. These are some hospital shots of him when he was about 12 hours old! What a precious blessing!

Long, long ago God made a decision----
a very important decision...
one that I'm really glad he made.
He made the decision to make you.

He made you in a very special way.
He made your eyes so they would twinkle.
He made your mouth so you could smile.
He made your laugh so you could giggle.
God made you like no one else.

If you looked all over the world- in every city in every house-
there would be no one else like you...
no one with your eyes
no one with your mouth
no one with your laugh.
You are very, very special.

And since you are so special, God wanted to put you in just the right home...
where you would be warm when its cold,
where you'd be safe when you're afraid,
where you'd have fun and. learn about heaven.
So, after lots of looking for just the right family, God sent you to me. And I am so glad He did.

I'll never forget the first time I saw you...
your eyes were closed,
your fingers were curled in two little fists,
your cheeks were puffy and round.
I knew in my heart God had sent someone very wonderful for me to take care of.

Your first night with me I heard every sound you made:
I heard you gurgle,
I heard you sniff,
I heard your little lips smack.
I heard you cry when you wanted to eat, and I fed you.

You're bigger now and do more things.
You can walk and run.
you can play and talk.
You can eat and sing and look at books.
You're not a little baby anymore.

But as you grow and change, some things will stay the same.
I'll always love you.
I'll always hug you.
I'll always be on your side.
And I want you to know that... just in case you ever wonder.

Remember I'm here for you.
On dark nights when you hear noises in your closet, call me.

When you see monsters in the shadows, call me.

On hard days when kids are mean and don't treat you like they should, come to me.

If your grades are bad and your teacher is mad, come to me...'cause I love you.
And I always will, just in case you ever wonder.

Most of all, I'll be here to teach you about God.
He loves you.
He protects you.
He and his angels are always watching over you.
And God wants me to make sure you know about Heaven.
Its a wonderful place.
There are no tears there.
No monsters.
No mean people.

You never have to say "good-bye"
or "good-night"
or "I'm hungry."
You never get sick or cold or afraid.
In heaven you are so close to God that He will hug you, just like I hug you. It's going to be wonderful. I will be there, too. I promise.
We will be there together, forever.
Remember that...
Just in case you ever wonder.

Sam-I-Am

Sam wanted his picture taken today, but everytime He would look away and smirk or scrunch up his t-shirt.. (Sponge-Bob by the way, his favorite) and act all camera shy. Isn't he the cutest thing?

His new love is Dr. Seuss' Sam I Am book... going on 3 months of nightly reading. At the grocery store the other night I told him not to do something and he responded " Mom, you let me be" lol
