    What a special Mother’s Day, Arielle! Love those images … so very precious! You have to agree … everyday is Mother’s Day when you’re a mom, right!! :) And I have to say, you’re a beautiful mom! I’m ready for some nice weather too … it’s been so rainy here, though. Hopefully things will settle down, and we’ll enjoy some outings ourselves. Enjoy your day! Hugs~

    Yay, I’m actually on your blog! It’s only 1/2 up but I don’t care, it finally let me get on it. (so weird) but all that to say, I loved the pictures. Especially the one with leland in the air. So cute. You all are the cutest family.

  13. Just found your blog and I am loving it! Looking forward to getting lost here with a good cup of coffee tonight after the littles are tucked into bed:) Beautiful photos and family!

  14. Chetreanna says:

    You guys are so beautiful!! I love that your a professional and you turn a nice day out into beautifully captured moments. Do you also keep a photo album as well? I just checked out the faq’s page and I was looking at the canon 5d but it is soooo pricey. Is it wise for an amateur like me to invest in something with more options and functions or keep it simple and buy a more advanced Digital SLR later? Sorry, the faqs page has me in a question mood. :)…he he

    HAPPY BELATED MOTHERS DAY LOVE

    • arielle says:

      thank you cheche! yes, i do keep some albums as well :) yes! i ‘d say wait to buy an advanced slr digital later. i started with an in expensive one and have gradually worked my way up as the years have gone by!

  28. Kelly says:

    oh my!! i love the ‘hahaha’ picture!! just so fun and cute!

    thanks for posting a question and answers page! that will hopefully prove to be a time saver for you.

    it is a dream of the hubby and mine to own the canon you do. we have been thinking and talking about it for a while now..so, it was nice to know that the pictures i love so much on your blog have been taken on that camera. (although, i totally agree with you that it takes much more than nice photography equipment to make great photographs).

    have a blessed day!
