when God wants something great done...

i came across this poem very soon after our first son was born.
i remember tears forming in my eyes the first time i read it.
when God wants something great done in this world--He sends you and me......He sent Jesus.



"When God wants something great done in the world,
He doesn't dispatch a legion of avenging angels,
Neither does He call forth a whirlwind nor ignite volcanic fireworks;
No commandeering of troops into battle nor discharging zealous crusaders to holy causes;
He does not orchestrate the burst and boom of thunder nor display His fiery arrows' majesty across the sky to bring His purpose to pass.

When God wants something done in this world...
He sends a baby - then He waits."

- Anita Robinson

Merry Christmas everyone.

the new tutulegz design!!! ~albuquerque children's photographer

it's been a while since i've gotten to work with tutulegz.
we met the other day so i could shoot their new design--molly the monkey.
way cute.

i am so proud of jenn and serena (tutulegz creators, sisters to one another, as well as close friends of ours...)
they have worked ridiculously hard on their creations--pouring time, energy and finances into getting their brand up and running.
so far, so good. sales continue to climb as more and more moms discover these adorable outfits.

last week, a friend of mine from california sent me THIS ARTICLE that she came across online.
click HERE to read it.
WOWZA!
so proud of these two.
they had a dream and are making it come true.
i'm blessed to be an onlooker who has seen it grow from the beginning.

and lastly, if your daughter doesn't have a pair of tutulegz--i am going to suggest you get her one. or two. or every pair.
i give them as gifts (my sons won't wear them) and everybody just dies over them.
really, really cute stuff people.

another cool family ~albuquerque family photographer

melissa has the sweetest voice, so i already knew i liked her even before we met.
she had me at 'hello' when she called to book an appointment.
(admission: i'm always a little nervous meeting new clients. the pressure is ON. i want to make everyone feel at ease in front of the camera and at the same time i want to knock their socks off with awesome pictures. so a friendly phone voice takes a little pressure off to boot:)

as soon as these guys opened the door--i knew it was gonna be EASY PEASY in all of the above departments.
the baby was smiling at me from the get go---HELLO! smiling baby=AWESOMENESS!

loved this trio mucho.
so glad we met.

the bartlett's ~albuquerque family photographer

i have an affinity for families with 3 kids.
i know the dynamics well.
these guys were no exception--and the kids are practically the exact same ages as my kids.
they've got the dashing big brother who is wise beyond his years, the middle child sweetheart who truly has the longest eyelashes i have ever seen in my life, and then there's the charming, sweet "baby" girl who everybody adores.
SAME HERE! (except the girl part. our house is over run by the male species...)

grandma and grandpa were here for the fun too and i was instantly taken with their east coast accents (which my parents have as well.)

LOVE.

thank you robin and family.

you captured my heart with your openess and joy.

XOXOXOXO
