Future All Star - SOLD




 It is the small moments that stay fixed in our minds as grandmothers.  The many ballgames, Birthday parties, Christmases and times together that we cherish.  Recently my entire family took a Disney Cruise together.  There was a lot of activity and fun but there was this quiet moment when one of my grandsons put his arm around me and said, "I Love you Mimi".  That was the moment I will remember.

The Family -Sold




 I have been so blessed by meeting this family many years ago.  The father of this group was a great man, one of the most humble I have ever known and his wife one of the sweetest women who has ever crossed my path.  Patty has been a constant source of joy and kindness with the best smile and warmest of hugs.  I love how this picture shows the extended family ties, even the two four legged "kids" who make this family portrait complete.

Mary Claxton, Yates and Mattie


These are three cute siblings that visit our church with their aunt.  I had the pleasure of sitting behind them one Sunday and I was mesmerized at their little personalities.

My Baby -sold




 One of the greatest joys of motherhood or fatherhood is holding our sweet babies.  The softness of their skin, the way their hair smells, the way they curl their little bodies into our arms leaves the impression on our hearts that remains forever.  Today I ran into my 45 year old son at the grocery store of all places and he hugged me and said, "Hi Mom".  Because I was working on little LaRue's portrait, memories flashed through my mind of all the little and big hugs I have received over the years and how I can still remember those first days of his life. The presence of his life changed mine forever.
