In My Mother’s Garden …

April 29, 2010 : Personal Projects, Randomness

In my mother’s garden,
You will find a huge array,
Of greens and branches,
Leaves and petals,
Growing day by day.

In my mother’s garden,
there is love grown everywhere.
Care and passion,
Heart and soul
Are always shining there.

In my mother’s garden,
there lies a bit of peace.
I take it in,
And keep it with me
And hope it will increase.

Snow Sisters.

April 21, 2010 : Children

How about a blast of arctic chill this lovely spring morning? Still playing catch-up here on sessions that were held in the last few months. These girls were a blast! Mom (Alisha) had them completely primed and ready for a full on photo shoot. We had smiles, giggles, stares, smirks, even a little runway modeling. Haha, it was so fun. The oldest is already excited for her high school senior photo session. Sorry, Mom! (blush)

Strike a pose! Now hit that runway, girls. (hehe)
