Smyrna Upward Basketball

Lisa Phillipson Photography: Newborn, Child and Family Portraits

Upward Basketball had their last games of the year this afternoon. It was another fun season with First Baptist of Smyrna!

Out of the office

What office?

I am on vacation this week and won't be able to respond to emails until I return on February 20th. I'll reply as soon as I am back!

I have a couple of openings the first week of March including Saturday, March 7th. If you are in Smyrna, The Jonquil City, the daffodils are coming! It is a great time for outdoor portraits.

My Preschool Valentine

I was lucky enough to celebrate Valentine's day with some of my most favorite preschoolers.

There's my little Prince!

Happy Valentine's Day!

From My Inner Martha

Visit this blog for a free tutorial on this sweet Valentine's project. There is a label PDF to download as well. If you are like me, it is more fun to look at this than actually do it. I wouldn't mind getting these chocolates if you are up for the task.

It Takes Two

For this much fun.


I don't have a sister and most likely my little girl will never have a sister. It is foreign to me but it seems like a sister would be such a great thing to have. I loved watching these two girls interact together. They really made me laugh. If they are like most siblings there could be some years of bickering ahead of them. You can just tell these two will always be close friends.

I wish my hair was as curly as theirs.



Imagine a young Susanna Hoffs here. Walk Like an Egyptian! (I told you...fun!)

Wordless Wednesday

Kindermart is coming!

Haven't you heard? Kindermart is coming! The Spring Sale begins March 20th.


The time is NOW to register for your seller number at www.kindermartsale.com and do it fast. They only take the first 300 sellers so don't delay.

16 Months Old Today

Happy Birthday to my little 16 month old! She changes so much every month. She is talking a little bit more which is very helpful although she still has more than her fair share of temper tantrums because we don't know what she wants. She has very serious conversations with us and we have no idea what she is saying.

That hair is growing right into her eyes. I wish she would keep a bow in her hair but no such luck. I don't think I can stand the thought of cutting it so she may be a little shaggy for awhile. She also won't keep her shirt on. I don't know what that is about.

She has been so much fun and we are so lucky to have her in our family. She brings lots of smiles and laughter to all of us.

Sunday Afternoon Fun

I've got a photo shoot with some sweet girls this afternoon and then we are going to a Superbowl party. I have no idea who is playing, but it will sure be fun!
