Sarah, 2013 Graduate!

Meet Sarah.

I don't know her that well, I mostly know her mom as being my daughters INCREDIBLE first grade teacher from Burley Christian School, that we miss dearly!

But from the short time I spent with Sarah I could tell she was walking in her mom's footsteps, and full of beauty inside and out!

Daughter and Momma Hug's and Loves

I gave them the chalkboard to write what they would like on it. I just love that this is what they chose!

She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Though the cherry trees don't blossom and the strawberries don't ripen, Though the apples are worm-eaten and the wheat fields stunted, Though the sheep pens are sheepless and the cattle barns empty,  I'm singing joyful praise to God. I'm turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God.

Okay I NEVER EVER bring my kids with me to shoots (Unprofessional) But My Bella has really missed her old school, and teachers. This made her entire spring break! And Her teacher didn't mind ;)

Hey I put her to work!

Motherhood

This weeks theme for a photo contest over at "I Heart Faces" is motherhood. When I herd about this theme I immediately thought of this photo! My sister came into my life when I was five, my mother re married to a man who had three Philippino children, my mom had two Japanese children and then me, the white girl. All growing up my mother got silly questions in grocery lines ETC, like: oh, how great of you to adopt, Oh are they yours, your daughter sure has a lot of friends. My parents taught us that we were not stepchildren, step or half brother and sisters, but that we WERE brothers and sister, end of story! This photo is on my sisters wedding day, she had just danced the daddy daughter dance and came over to give our mom a hug. This photo captures so much emotion coming from the two of them, lol if only there was a photo of me too! Happy mothers day mom! And I love and cherish you sis!
