Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep February 16, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — photographybyshelane @ 5:12 am

Just when I am stomping my foot crying “why me!?!” God steps in and gives me the answer. This weekend we had planned a get away to our friends cabin in PA where we were going to go snow tubing. Unfortunately, my husband got sick and we couldn’t go. I was so bummed because I had really been looking forward to the 3 day weekend away. Not to mention that my husband was sick in bed ALL day yesterday which  means I was alone on Valentine’s Day. Needless to say, I was feeling sorry for myself. Then I got the call. The one everyone asked me if I could handle. I registered to be a volunteer for an organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. It is an organization that provides infant bereavement photography. Let me just say, I was humbled. It was an experience I won’t soon forget. I take for granted my beautiful life and all the blessings in it. God showed me that today.

One Last Hurrah February 8, 2009

Brittany and Jesse were married in October. They are moving to Washington state in May and wanted to have one last hurrah in Ocean City before they moved to the west coast. We thought it would be a good idea to take a trip to Ocean City for the weekend and do a “Trash The Dress” session while we were there. It turned out to be BEAUTIFUL!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah today thanks to Victoria (see Baby Love) who hired me to take Sarah’s maternity pictures as a gift (what a nice friend!).  Come to find out, Sarah is related to my friend Ellie’s fiancee whose wedding I will be photographing in August. Small world! Sarah is also due in March, which is how Sarah and Victoria met. So be looking out for some newborn pictures in early March. :)

Brody is always a good model. Although he may not love these pictures when he gets older, the girls in his life always will. :)
