For a long time I’ve wanted classic black and white pictures of my children to display in my living room. It is very interesting that although I take many pictures I didn’t seem to “make” the time to take carefully planned portraits of my babies. I finally got off my rusty dusty and started to create portraits that will be cherished for generations to come.

I’m not knocking color portraits but there is something timeless about having a black and white image. They seem to stand the test of time and can take on the characteristic of being “Fine Art” in the home.

First I will start with my first born – Brent. He is one of the coolest kids that a person could ask to have. He’s soft spoken and very well mannered. He does a great job of helping me to look over his younger siblings. He loves playing the piano and doing magic tricks. Rumor has it that he has his own website on youtube and goes by the name of pianomagician.

My 2nd child is Courtney. The Lord allowed us to spend 7 precious weeks with her. She was a bundle of joy and just as sweet as can be. The Lord called her home to be with Him at the tender age of seven weeks old.

My 3rd child is Mr. Christian. He is a fun loving and mischievious kid. He is super smart and loves to solve puzzles. I call him “The Thinker” in the family because he can figure out things that seem to stump his older brother. All I can say is that with Christian in the house there is always a certain level of excitement. He’s head strong and has the brains to back it up. If the truth be told, he is just the way I was when I was younger. People used to call me “ca-nivan” which is a spin on the word conniving.

My 4th child is Aleah. You’ve all heard that God is in the restoring business and that is because HE is. The Lord saw fit to bless me with another baby girl when He created Aleah. When she was a baby she had the fattest cheeks and I used to call her “Baby Biscuits”. She is also my shadow… kind of reminds me of those animals on TV that physically cling to their parents.

I treasure each day that I have with my babies and I know that tomorrow is never promised. If you have children then love them up as much as you can and enjoy each day with them.

With the exception of Courtney’s picture all of these were taken in the comfort of my living room usually at odd times of the day
