My girl having fun on the ground with all the leaves. This was taken last fall.

very special: a warm summer day in autumn

After years of different sports, this was my son's first soccer game playing for a traveling, year-round team. Of all the sports he has played, this is his passion. We live in Evans, GA and the game was played in Columbia, SC.

My son Ethan plays cello for his 7th-grade orchestra. He was practicing outside on a beautiful fall day. We got a few looks from people driving by but that's okay. It's all in the name of art :)

Biking with the birds, witnessing the sunrise magic along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean in Ormond Beach, Florida.

We were on a train from Oklahoma to Texas, she is always looking for the next great photo.

Staying at an RV park in New Mexico, I sat and watched this grandmother blowing bubbles with her grandchildren visiting her trailer... they were there a long time... it was a precious moment.

Last spring I took a chance at growing some sunflowers. I am not much of a gardener, however they actually grew...like crazy! This is my daughter with one of our home grown sunflowers.

I was taking pictures for a friend at a Pee Wee Football game in Petal, MS. For me, this photo shows how young boys take challenges that will one day make them men.

These are my three granddaughters. I love the look on my youngest granddaughters' face, it brings life to this photo!

This was taken of my daughter the afternoon after Hurricane Dorian brushed the Florida coastline. We live on the Indian River and wanted to get outside after being inside for several hours. The sunset was gorgeous and on the other side of us was a rainbow. 

With my youngest son graduating high school this year we decided to take a possible last family vacation all together. This sunset was from our first night in Puerto Rico.

At a friend's bar-b-q party, her dog got a little out of hand. I noticed her explaining the rules of etiquette to Buddy and snapped this picture.

I loved the expression on this toddler's face as he explored the gourd's texture. To a 10-month-old, the "first" harvest is always exciting. The picture was taken on a farm in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.

Styling together for beach day! 

I took this on a whim — my oldest daughter running down a dusty country road this past summer.
This is one of the first photos that I actually printed, framed AND put up on my wall.

This is New Orleans on any given Sunday when 2nd Line Clubs proudly dance through the streets of their neighborhood. The band is the heartbeat of the city. If you look in between the musicians you will see a few faces trailing. Their are thousands following the band. It is New Orleans

This is my best friend's daughter. I was there when she was born, and she is so incredibly special to me. I took this photo over the summer at our cabin in Northern Michigan. It embodies everything about her so perfectly: her personality, her innocence, her unique wisdom for someone her age. She is amazing.

This picture is special to me because it captures my boy's innocent smile, like a moment of true joy captured directly from the heart. It was taken within our house with just the morning light coming in through the window. It will remain as one my prized possessions among the family photographs.

This is special to me because she is my granddaughter. I took this photograph in our pool this summer having alot of fun with my family.

A perfect way to spend a vacation day!

While visiting Chicago last summer, my grandson spent some quality time checking out all the cars, trucks, and people out our hotel window. This shot has become a favorite with my friends and family.

Just a Day in Islamorada Life in The Fl Keys Finnegan is our First Mate aboard the Historic Skip Jack sailboat Sol Sister , we were taking a well deserved swim .

This picture was taken in Romania.That is my daughter's (Jessica) first kiss.
