Moving!?!

2009-05-21T18:54:00.000-07:00

Well today was the day we have been so excited for, but right before we were scheduled to sign the papers and get our keys to our new house… we got the news that the papers were not ready! So we are not closing on our house and have to be out of our current house on Sunday! Ahhhhhhhh! So we will be in a temporary dwelling until hopefully next week mid-week. I will have very limited access to the internet and no access to my files/computer.

Thank you for your understanding! And I hope to be back up within a week in our new house! =)

Take Care! Much Love, Mishelle

2009-05-12T21:09:00.000-07:00

What a perfect Mother's Day weekend to have a perfect wedding! Carl's mother, Megan was diagnosed with advanced Melanoma and within in the last month has lost her hearing and vision in one eye and can only see partial out of the other. And as every mother's dream to see her child find the love of their life and witness one of the biggest days for them...their wedding! And she did!!
I was so incredibly honored to be apart of this huge day and yes I could not keep my eyes dry! Here are a of the photographs from the beautiful wedding. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
Ellen & Carl have a very special bond and I pray that God Blesses their marriage every day!

A group of Megan's friends are raising money by giving all proceeds from this necklace ($10) & bracelet ($2) to help fight for Megan and the cure!! Please let me know if you would like to help or you can go to her blog they just started www.megsvisionquest.blogspot.com.
She is an amazing woman! Lots of Love and Hugs! ~Mishelle

A Celebration to Remember....

2009-04-29T17:45:00.000-07:00

We packed up and headed to Naples, Florida to celebrate a big day in the Schmidt family, April 21st! Papa Hank turned 95 and Hayden 5! They share the same birthday 90 years apart! It was a great party and very touching to hear Papa Hank's friends and children talk about what he means to each of them! I loved when one of his dear friends (in his 80's) said "When I grow up...I want to be just like Hank!"

I hope you enjoy 95 Papa! We had a great visit and can't wait to see you again! Take Care! And know you are always in our thoughts and prayers! Much Love.

2009-04-23T19:34:00.000-07:00

Mr. Cannon kept me on my toes and it was a good thing I wore my fast shoes (as my youngest son calls his sneakers!) I need Cannon around more often so I can get into tip top shape like his mommy! =)
I had a great time catching his personality! He is growing up so fast!
I hope you enjoyed our session together and his pictures! =)

2009-03-09T20:41:00.000-07:00

Too Cute....Had to Share...

2009-01-20T19:33:00.000-08:00

WOW! Blogging 2 times in one day!! =) I am sitting up working on sweet Kylie's session and I just had to share this!! Love the way it turned out!!

Photographer’s Prayer

2009-01-20T09:27:00.000-08:00

Oh God, as I bring my subject into focus and prepare to make each portrait, never let me forget that I am creating treasures for some family, a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others, that I many draw out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts.
Help me to be an artist, collecting the beauty of every soul, the glow of youth, the gentleness, the laughter or tears of each life that is precious in Thy sight. Deeper than a means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographers art as a service to others, making life richer and more memorable. And dear Lord, between the lights and shadows, the ups and downs and the rolling years keep me from getting out of focus or off center, so that my life and my work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment.

Amen!

My dear friend sent this to me...and I just thought it was perfect!!

~Mishelle~

Tripp & Taylor

My Baby is 2 Today!

2008-12-08T10:19:00.000-08:00

My sweet little angel! It is so hard to say Evan is 2! Time has just gone by way too fast! We are so very blessed to have Evan in our lives. He has brought us so much joy and lots of laughter! You pretty much just see him smiling and you can’t help but smile back! My all time favorite has to be his hugs; he is the greatest bear hugger on the planet! I just adore every hug I get from him. And those moments when he just runs up to me out of the blue, gives me a hug and says “love you mommy”…make life worth living! I hope he never stops!

I am so proud of my little rock star! As you can see I posted way too many pictures, but I couldn’t pick just 2 or 3! I was so excited when he gave me a little 10 minute session! Yippy!! (Because I rarely get those =) And for those of you that know Mr. Evan really well know…this is the first pair of shoes he has put on! He only will wear his crocs. And if you look really close in one of the pictures you will see a green shirt underneath his sweater, it is his FAVORITE shirt…so I let him wear it underneath so whenever we look at these pictures we will remember him at 2 with his silly spider pj shirt! =)

Watch out Jonas Brothers…the Schmidt Brothers are on the rise!!

Happy Birthday Buddy!!

Hugs & Kisses, Mommy (aka Mishelle)

3 Months Already!

Ben & Kate

2008-11-03T13:36:00.000-08:00

I was just looking back at their session from last year at this time and can’t believe how much they have changed! It is so crazy how they grow right in front of you, but you don’t seem to realize until you look back at pictures!
Benjamin is my oldest son Hayden’s best buddy! We are so lucky to have good friends in our lives.

Thanks for allowing me to capture your memories! Hope you enjoy your sneak peak…

My Model

2008-11-02T18:16:00.000-08:00

A step out of my norm! And boy was it a joy to spend with Corrie and her husband (my wonderful assistant for the day! ) =) Thank you so much Scott you were AWESOME! You truly helped make these portraits what they are…absolutely GORGEOUS! I asked Corrie months ago if she would be my model, so I could enter into a print competition coming up soon…thinking I might be ready! (so nervous)
But what Corrie didn’t really know is...that I mainly asked her because I wanted to honor her! She is such a strong, caring and loving mother, wife and friend, I wanted to give her back some of her beauty! And as you can see…she has a lot of it! =)

Corrie, I admire the strength you have had the past few years as you have been through so many surgeries and trials with your sweet baby girl, Kynleigh. You have made me want to be a better person and most of all a better mommy! Oh, and you have totally made me want to get back in the gym!! =) You are beautiful inside and out! Thank you for being my model and friend!

Love, Mishelle

Our Family Vacation...

2008-10-30T21:36:00.000-07:00

Yeah!! I have my family pictures!! I can’t begin to express my gratitude to our wonderful photographer, Beth of White Isle Photography. She was amazing. I was so impressed that she wasn’t scared of the sand or getting dirty, I think she was actually covered from head to toe! It was so special for me to have someone put so much time and effort into us. I have longed to have my own family in a portrait to cherish and SHOW OFF! =) I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to meet you, Beth! Thank you so much for giving us these memories that I will carry with me forever! You are an amazing photographer and person with a huge heart! And I thank you with all of mine!

If you ever are in the Fort Meyers/ Naples area…give her a call and book ahead! www.bethsweetphotography.com

We had a fabulous trip this year to visit Papa (Jason’s 94 year old Grandfather, who shares the same birthday as my oldest son Hayden) in Naples, Florida. It is so neat to see the boys as they grow from year to year on these trips. And I must say Papa is doing great! Still plays golf too!! =)

I am so proud of my little family and I am so excited to have a wall of canvases of our beautiful vacation in 2008!!

Much Love, Mishelle

What a pleasure it was meeting Miss Lola’s beautiful family and getting to spend time with them as we made memories they will be able to cherish for many years to come. I always enjoy seeing my little buddy Lola! It was so cute while we were trying to get her to take her picture with her family; she wanted to sit on my lap! I LOVED it! I felt so loved! =)

Thank you so much for allowing me to be apart of your day! I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Keaton Time!!

2008-09-21T13:06:00.000-07:00

I met Keaton and his family at the pumpkin patch today for his 12 month session. The last session in his first year package… =(

I am going to miss getting to see him every few months. It has been such a pleasure watching him grow this first year of his life. And every session has been such a treat.
Thanks again for allowing me to capture these milestones for you. I hope you have enjoyed it too! Here is a sneak peak from today….enjoy! Keep in touch!

lil' peanut

2008-09-15T21:43:00.000-07:00

Today I got to play with my new little 3 week old buddy, Perry. Which I have been waiting to do for a long time! =) And boy was he ready to play, he only slept for maybe 5 minutes during our hour and a half together! So we only got a few sleepy poses. He just didn't want to miss anything! =)
Thanks again for allowing me to be a special part of capturing these times for you. I hope you enjoy your sneak peak…he is absolutely precious! Treasure every moment...they go way too fast!

Brothers Stick Together

2008-09-07T12:11:00.000-07:00

I had a quick session with four fun guys today! They ranged from 2-13! Mom and Dad never have a boring moment! =) I met them in the addition they live in, so it was neat for me to play in a different environment, very pretty too! Here are a few from the session…thanks again for choosing me to capture these memories for you all. I hope you enjoy your sneak peak…

Lola & Elmo

The Boys...

2008-08-31T20:32:00.000-07:00

Ok, really! I have the best job ever! Look at these cute guys I got to hang out with today! Cannon, who is already 6 months (so hard to believe), was such a great sport. He is the first little one that I have photographed that you can put a hat on him and he doesn’t care! He never tried to take it off. He just fits right in with his big brothers and dad! So cute!!

Thanks again for allowing me to capture these memories for you all. It is always a pleasure seeing and photographing you all. Hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Little Miracle

2008-08-29T14:27:00.000-07:00

Sometimes our footsteps lead us
where we never thought we'd go...
Sometimes experiences left behind us
are ones God chooses to show...
As we get older and think
that everything has been seen...
Our Lord allows a miracle to show us
we don't know anything...

Sometimes the deepest agony
can bring the greatest joy...
Sometimes the journey is arduous
that takes us where we need to go...
At times we may wonder
was it really worth the wait?
But love is the greatest outcome
And Love never comes too late...
So sometimes when you may wonder
if all the patience is worthwhile...
There is nothing more rewarding
Than a Newborn Baby's Smile

I am so honored to have had the opportunity to photograph my dear friend arrival of her first baby, Perry David. He is so precious (as you can see)! I just couldn't get enough of him!
I am looking forward to our first session!!!!

Welcome to motherhood Lindz! Love you and your family!

Million Dollar Mission

2008-08-25T13:41:00.000-07:00

Mid June I sat down in the kitchen to have breakfast with my boys and a sweet picture of a mother holding her baby caught my eye in the Dallas Morning News. As I read the article my heart was breaking. This poor little girl in the picture had just lost her twin sister, they were both diagnosed with a rare and deadly disease called Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC) shortly after their 1st birthday. Her sister, Corynne died at 20 months. My heart broke…how can this little sweet girl understand where her sister went!!! I immediately jumped on their website and offered the family a session to capture some lasting memories with Catherine. We meet a couple days later. I am so honored to have had the opportunity to meet Catherine, she made a lasting impression on me.
I pray that the photographs bring some comfort to this family in these hard times. Little Cathryn passed about a month after our session. I would like to try in the efforts of raising awareness and to help raise a million dollar in hoping to find a cure for Niemann-Pick Disease. Please visit their website for more information and to make a donation…like the mother put it if 100,000 people donate $10, they will reach their goal! http://www.cathrynandcorynne.org/

Let’s help save a child's life before it is too late!

3 Months Already!

2008-08-24T14:58:00.000-07:00

I can hardly believe it has already been 3 months since my last session with Miss K! She has changed so much; I didn't think it was possible for her to get any cuter!! Look at those eyes, how can anyone tell her No! Mom and Dad you are in trouble!
Thanks again for bringing her to me! I love seeing you all and catching up! Hope you enjoy your sneak peak of your sweet little girl! Look who made the top of my blog!!! She is such a doll!
