Change

Life in is a constant state of change.  The fashions, the weather, your neighbors, your friends, your job.  So many changes happen to us every day that we aren't even aware of!!  So why is it we fight change so much?  Why do we hang on to old habits and ways of thinking that we sometimes can't think outside the box.  Supposedly, we are the intelligent beings but why then do we we fight things around us that we have no control over?  Why do we doubt making positive changes in our lives?  Decisions that might lead to something wonderful!!  Animals adapt and learn and get by.  But most of us want things to stay just the way they are.  Like many of us I am a creature of habit too.  I find something I like and I like to stick with it.  Is it fear that stops us sometimes dead in our tracks, is it lack of confidence?  Do we owe it to ourselves to take a chance?

There have been a lot of recent changes in my life and I expect there will always be.  Some things that happened were not so great and some were pretty darn good.   Life won't always warn you what's about to happen but you have to adapt, live it and do things that make you happy.  You have to try new things even if it means you might fail.  But what if...you succeed?  What if you take a chance, make a change and something extraordinary happens?  What then?



Topsail Beach, NL



Eli

I am awake at 4 am (acutally 3am since daylight savings time kicked in) doing a blog post.  There must be something wrong in my head!  Well, yes there is!!  I went to bed early and woke with a bit of a cold.  Nothing serious, just not able to sleep.

So, I figured why not be productive, I will sleep when it comes!!

This little guy is no stranger to Topsail beach.  He has had many adventures there before with his parents and little doggies!  However, this time he got to hike the trail himself.  I'm sure he would have went to St. Philips if time allowed!!  I met up with Eli and Mom in the parking lot at Topsail beach.  And within 10 minutes, he was holding my hand to lead him across the rocky shore line.  His mom said this was a good thing because he was usually a good judge of character!!  Sweet!!  If you get okayed by the little humans, it's all good!!

So off we went and collected rocks and coral, hiked a little, got a little wet and  had an adventure of sweet proportions!  With such an infectious smile and the coolest little rubber boots ever, how can you go wrong!!

Maternity Session

I was so excited when a friend of mine asked me to do her belly shots!  She hadn't been feeling well and wasn't up to having them done earlier.  But as time was getting nearer she felt she wanted those memories captured.  So of course when she asked, I said yes!  I was super excited because a) I hadn't done maternity pics before and wanted the opportunity, and b) it was a way for me to try and create some memories for these first time parents.  Little did we know that baby Sean was going to make an appearance the very next day, not 24 hours later!!  Whew, that was a close one!  So I guess all that walking and posing helped the labor along a little.  Here are some of my favorites.
