This weekend, I couldn’t help but bring some of the autumn goodness inside.  I love my warm sweaters, warm tea, and warm colors of this season!

I’m learning to be thankful for how incredibly blessed I am.

I’m learning to let go of things that I cannot control.

I’m learning to follow my heart and my dreams and not apologize for doing so.

I’m learning that it is so important to never stand in the way of someone’s dream.

There is inside you all of the potential to be whatever you want to be, all of the energy to do whatever you want to do.

Imagine yourself as you would like to be, doing what you want to do.

And each day, take one step towards your dream.

And though at times it may seem too difficult to continue, hold on to your dream.

One morning you will awake to find that you are the person you dreamed of, doing what you wanted to do, simply because you had the courage to believe in your potential and hold on to your dream.

Well, dear readers – the time has come for me to slow down a bit.  I will be taking some time off to prepare for the birth of my second baby.  I am happy, apprehensive, and ready to meet this little person who has been moving, stretching and kicking me for the past nine months.  Wish me luck – this kid already weighs more than Gabrielle did at birth!

Going from a family of 3 to 4 will definitely be a huge adjustment, and I just want to take the time that I need to settle in with my growing family.  Rest assured, my camera will be right by my side the entire time, and I hope to return and bring you more joy + inspiration from my work.

I’ll definitely be back with a birth announcement, and to say that I am looking forward to taking the baby’s newborn portraits would be an understatement!

My summer sale ends tomorrow – thanks so much for making it such a success!  My favorite part is actually preparing orders – I love to put that extra tender loving care in with each print.  Both shops will be closing on July 1 – and I’ll let you know when I will re-open!

Thanks so much for your support, kind words, comments, and e-mails! I’ll be back soon …..
