on the MAP!

Life sure hasn't slown down lately, like I nicely asked it)
That's ok, it sure has been crazy but a whole lot of fun!
I've been working on starting up my "Melanie Ann Photography" (MAP) business. 
OH... it just makes my heart & soul giddy.
I even got my biz cards in the mail... of course I'm "official" now! Lol)
I feel incredibly blessed to have found something that I love this much. Besides my boys)
Life is good & God is Great.
How can you complane when you live next door to this cutie patootie?!
Her hair hold magic powers, I swear.
I think sweet Harmony might give Jaxy a run for his money as they get a bit older?
He's pretty sweet on her, but no one can put his "Baby" (aka future wifee, aka Ellie Bugs)in a corner! 
Just sayn')
But of course, I couldn't end a post w/out sharing my FAVorite lil happy soul.
(AND if I must say so... this sunset bokeh rocks, eh?!!!)
I also wanted to say a huge thank you for being picked as one of the June favorite on Project Rewind!
Such a wonderful honor to be among such talented ladies. 
It would make my day if you put in a vote for me!!!
That is... if you think Jax's "serious face" is cute...? hehee)
Please vote here.

My business cards are sitting here next to me! Finding photography and being able to get paid for it is AWESOME!!! It feeds my soul and I can tell it feeds your too! Been so busy marketing my tush off for the last week I haven't been taking pictures. It's feeding time:) Enjoy your new adventure.

This post makes me smile for so many reasons. First, I love that no one is putting my baby in the corner (lol...loved that hon). But more importantly, it makes me smile when I see your amazing pictures. If you don't know this yet, I think your b&w's are so spectacular. Your talent truly shines with them! I'm so happy and proud of you!! You rock momma! I can not wait till we can bond in person! Xoxo

I WISH we lived near each other for a number of reasons. Mostly because you rock my socks and are awesome, but also because you take stunning photos and I would totally love to have you photograph me and my baby girl! That little girl is so adorable. :)
