No More Curls!
Who's Baby boy is this?
Why, it is Grant!
I cried my eyes out as I cut it! I know it was time, he looked so straggely like a little orphan but it was so hard! I sectioned off my favorite curls and rubber-banded them to keep them together to put in his baby book!
Please tell me he is still cute without his sweet angel baby curls!!!
Here are some before pictures and a terrible one of me with a red nose and tears coming down my face!
Grant keeps saying "hair all gone!", I say "Grant, where's your hair?" and he says "I dunno, all gone!"

Twins!
These little twin girls turned 1 a few weeks ago, they were born premature and they have NEVER had their picture professionally taken. They were a little camera shy!
Mommy and Me! Tucson Moms!
I was recently asked to photograph a Tucson Mom's playgroup! Unfortunately the grass was wet and the sun was super bright but I still got some beautiful shots of some Moms with their babies. I could photograph mothers with their children all day long! There is something special about the way a woman looks when she is holding her child, I love to capture it in camera.
5th Annual Playgroup Halloween Party!
I threw our playgroup's annual Halloween party again this year! It was a blast! I also set up a backdrop and snapped some pictures! I got a group picture of all the kids! They are just too adorable! There is nothing cuter than kids dressed up in costumes!
Isabel~ 7 months
My friend Tracy came over for Carter & Grant's Halloween Party and I snapped a few quick pictures of her sweet Isabel. Isabel was my first newborn to photograph 7 months ago so it was great to get to take her pictures again!

Rest in Peace Great Lioness ~ A-Tatu~ Reid Park Zoo!
The following conversation is what prompted this blog!!!
While I was reading the paper this morning, Carter and Grant saw the photograph of this lion on the back page. They both started saying "Lion, Lion" it was so cute! Carter is at the age where he is asking LOTS of questions! So here is the conversation....
Carter: That is a lion Mama!
Me: Yes, it is!
Carter: Mama, what do lions eat?
Me: (thinking...long pause...and trying to be G-rated) Well, they eat meat!
Carter: (Thinking and then another long pause) Are WE meat????
Me: (laughing hysterically) Yes Carter, yes we are!
Carter: (laughing and giggling)
Maybe you had to be there, but my Heaven's, it was soooo stinkin' funny and so unexpected!!!!
The lioness at out zoo was euthanized Monday, she was 21 years old! I have loved photographing her over the years when we have visited the zoo! She was a beautiful animal! These first pictures were taken last January. I have many pictures of her, I just never realized how old she was.
The first one is pretty blurry, she was eyeing Carter's apple and roared fiercely and knocked us all back even though the glass was there to protect us. At the bottom, I included a picture of her partner, Mr. Lion who is also 21 years old. He is deaf and arthritic but doing well according to the zoo officials.

THE BELOW PASSAGE IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR
Copied from the above link!
Reid Park Zoo's 21-year-old African lioness was euthanized Monday morning after zoo officials deemed her progressive arthritis and old age too much for her to bear.
A-Tatu's health had been watched carefully by zoo officials over the past few years, said Reid Park Zoo administrator Susan Basford.
After careful medical consideration between supervisors and the zoo veterinarian, the decision was made to put her to sleep, she said.
The average life expectancy of lions in captivity is 20 years compared with 15 years in the wild.
There are two remaining lions at the zoo, one of which is 21 years old. Although he is deaf and moving slowly, he still maintains a high quality of life, said a media release.
"We have a lot of older animals that we keep a close eye on," Basford said.
The last animal euthanized at Reid Park Zoo was Yebo, a giraffe that also suffered from arthritis, said Basford. Yebo was euthanized in April 2007.
Zoo officials haven't decided yet on bringing in another lion, Basford said.
"We may wait awhile and reassess the situation," said Basford. "It would be nice to get a youngster here."
