Happy Birthday Brandon & Levi

God knows every single hair on our head, breath we take and every move we make. No, I didn't try to emulate the words to a song. HE knew that when Brandon wanted to adopt a son last year that Levi was the perfect match for his home, his life and his future. My friend Brandon went through the long and sometimes tiresome process of adoption, which as a single male can be tough at times. When he first shared with me that he wanted to do this, of course it tugged at my heartstrings. Last year, I had the amazing privilege of going down to San Diego to document the adoption process. You can view their slideshow here.

Levi is a vivacious, outgoing and smart little boy who is growing up before our very eyes. Today is his birthday and ironically, it is also his Dad's. See how God just knew where Levi needed to spend the rest of his life? Yes, they are both celebrating life today.


Happy Birthday Brandon and Levi! We pray that you have a wonderful day celebrating LIFE to it's fullest. Thank you for being such great friends. We love you and we miss you.








Amy, Corona Del Mar Portraits, Orange County

Almost two weeks ago, I made a trip down to Corona Del Mar to do some portraits for my new friend Amy, who I met through Jennie. We had been planning this shoot for a few months and finally found a date that worked for our busy schedules. This was a very special portrait session because my friend Amy just turned 40, but you would never know it! She looks 29! Seriously, how gorgeous is she? She had already had a birthday party on a yacht in the Newport Harbor, so what a better way to top off the celebration! To get in front of my camera to show how fabulous she is! Amy is full of life, loves the Lord, and loves the beach! Hence the reason she is living on the beach at this time in her life!

*Amy, thank you for giving me the opportunity to photograph you for your special birthday! You are a very special person and I know that the next 40 years are going to be as remarkable as the first 40. You are wonderful! Love, Tira J.

I have control!

One of my friends had this posted in her office a number of years ago. She sent it to me via email and I finally found it tucked away with some other treasures. Thought you would enjoy thinking about all of the things you can have control over in your life!

I have control over my:

Attitude

Actions

Choices

Use of time

Good Health

Faith

Goals

Have a beautiful day!

500 Comments Full of Love!

Last week, we made it to 500 comments here on the blogsite!

I love leaving comments on my friends blogs, and I absolutely love it when someone leaves a comment here on my blog. The reason is, it lets me know you were here! You are either just saying hello, or are commenting on some of my recent work. I am truly indebted to everyone who comes by to read my blog and view all of the images I have taken. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

As I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago, when we hit 500 comments and then 1000 comments, we would give away a iTunes gift card! Well, Christina Gressianu from Fort Collins, Colorado was the 500th commentor! We will be sending you your gift card soon! Thank you for the "blog love"!

So, don't be shy!


Happy Tuesday!
