admin - Thank you Carol! Yeah, the eyelashes, I have been fascinated with my kiddos' eyelashes since the day they were born! I just love the way they photograph. I was SOOOO thrilled when I saw that Erin had captured those shots of Gaby with her daddy! I had done a couple shots very similar over the summer with Jon-Jon and daddy! So now they will all be displayed together in our living room!

Carol - Your kids have awesome eyelashes!!! I love the one of your daughter with her daddy.......I hope one day to be able to capture that connection between my daughter and my husband.

Amy - What a beautiful family - I love the one where the Dad is cracking up. The color is just lovely - nice work!

erin - Oh I can't wait to see everything! We're headed home tomorrow and I'm hoping there will be a little CD in my mail box too. Yippee!!!

admin - Thank you all so much! Erin, I ordered a lot of prints (and canvas) last night and am getting them rush shipped to me because I am too impatient to wait the extra few days!!!! I'll take some shots of all them hanging once I get them up!

elizabeth - These are all wonderful

diana simpson - love your colors!

Beth - Happy Thanksgiving Angela! What a great reminder that thanksgiving is about more than this one day - we should find the blessings in everyday! I would also shout it if I were debt free - what a huge accomplishment. And love these pictures - Erin did a great job capturing your beautiful family :)

Jessica Escue - ((hugs)) I know after speaking with you that Jon-Jon is a very special little boy who has a very hard working mother who cares for him so much. I pray for you guys as I know how hard it is to struggle with some of the issues you are having to face. Hopefully we can get the boys together someday soon! I think they would get along wonderfully! :)

Courtney Miller - Somehow I missed this post. Just wanted to send a big hug your way. You're a wonderful mommy and Jon Jon is blessed to have you! These are fabulous images you got of him. YAY!

Nicole Ramsay - Awwhhhh man you little guy is too cute! Wishing you/him all the best with is operations and I truely hope it all goes well. xx

brianne brose - OMG, Angela...he is so adorable!!! I just adore his outfit and his hair! Thank for sharing him, you seriously captured him perfectly.

diana simpson - he is too cute

missy - Angela, These are amazing images you captured of your Jon Jon! He is so darling and looks like he is so happy and full of life. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers and hope for a speedy recovery and many years of happiness. Gotta love sweet boys! Looking forward to our shoot with you!

jessica - he is so gorgeous, angela!

Kristin Rachelle - He is stunning! You captured him so well too. Gorgeous pictures. I will say a prayer for him and your family!

Jennifer - I'd say that was a great 10 minutes you had with him and well worth the $1.11! Your son and the pics are gorgeous! I'll be thinking of your family over the next few months.

Christen Rush - Praying for you! These are the cutest!! I love them... he's a cutie!!

admin - Thanks ladies. Carol, I'm not doing a storyboard of them, but do plan on printing them as 11x14's and placing them all on the same wall together! All of the cleft babies' after sessions will be coming up here shortly! I'm very excited about them! You asked what my readers can do? Pray. Not only for my son and his suituation, but for all families of children with special needs. Prayer is awesome and the healing power of God is even more awesome!!

nicole z - Wow!! LOVE your color in these!! Your son is absolutely adorable in his fun outfit!! Beautiful work!!

Carol - Angela, After looking at these again I really hope you do a storyboard with them!!! BTW, I can't wait to see "after" photo sessions with all your cleft babies you have done. Your positive attitude is definitely inspirational. I am looking forward to your posting some fall sessions, if/when our leaves ever change here (crazy weather!). Please let your readers know if there is anything we can do to help.

Stephanie - I'll tell you what..this little boy is such a charmer. I absolutely love, LOVE these photos. What a lucky mamma you are to have him, and he to have you. :D

Corine Tran - beautiful images, love the colors and clarity of your work. Amazing as always!

admin - David, thank you so much! It's comforting to know others facing the same suituation, especially when some people in our lives just don't get it. You're right, everything is absolutely worth it!

DSR - The pictures are amazing! Autism in our family too, so I can relate to the challenges you are dealing with. In the end though, it is all worthwhile. Did I say the pictures were AMAZING?!!

gwen - I'm a long-time blog stalker - your photographs are so beautiful and inspiring. Your son Jon-Jon is just gorgeous - your family will be in my thoughts. I hope everything goes well with his surgery and his recovery. Enjoy the beautiful fall season and the holidays, and keep us posted.

admin - Thank you all so so much. The timeline for recovery for the 2nd cleft repair is 6 very long weeks. He only has a week recovery for the first two surgeries, so Thanksgiving, Christmas and his birthday will all be in good spirits! We are so thankful for that!

--cherry. - oh angela....{{hugs}} to you and your family. Jon-Jon looks like such a sweet little boy full of spunk and energy!! i'll keep you all in my prayers and hope everything goes well with his surgery and recovery. keep us posted :)

Melissa - What a beautiful boy! We'll be praying for him as he goes through the surgeries (and for mom too!)

Carol - The eyes truly are the window to the soul, aren't they? I'm sure you have many blog stalkers that will be lifting your family up in prayer. Please post updates after his surgeries when you are able. Hopefully he will be able to enjoy the Christmas holidays before his big surgery. Did they give you a timeline on how long his recovery would take after the one in January? I am so sorry you are having to deal with red tape regarding his education issues. Would a lawyer help at all (in conjuction with his therapists?). I know God will give you the strength and wisdom you need. Blessings!!!

erin - Wow Angela. I had no idea he was coming up on more surgeries. Poor little guy! You guys will definitely be in our thoughts and prayers as he undergoes the surgeries and faces painful recovery. On a happier note...STUNNING work, as always. =)

admin - Thank you all so much for the kind words and prayers.

Fiona - He's a really beautiful looking boy! I hope for a not too difficult time for him.

Lori - I'll be thinking of you, these things are so hard on us moms! He's a beautiful kid and I love the color and connection in these images. Best wishes!

Alison Harris - angela, jon-jon is so beautiful! beautiful pictures! beautiful post. your family will be in our prayers. alison, josh, and maggie

Cheryl Weaver - He is one beautiful little boy! I pray for a very successful surgery and for minimal pain and no complications! I also pray for strength and guidance for you during this time! Blessings!

Stephanie - Oh Mercy! She's adorable!! Love the desk in the field, what a great idea. Looks like a perfect afternoon, too. :D It happens fast, doesn't it...

Wendy Hosch - She is a doll. I can't imagine what it's like for your baby to go off to school.. sniff.

Jen Lane - Awww! Such a sweet post! I definitely understand that "where did the time go" feeling! Gabby is a DOLL! Love her fashion sense. And I love that you took a desk out into the field! Beautiful! GOod luck Gabby!

admin - Ahh, thanks everyone! Yeah, I'm a little biased, but I think she is beautiful too! ;) Her hair is a total pain to manage, but it's worth it to have those beautiful loose curls!

corine tran - these should be in a magazine, absolutely fabulous. I love your work, its so colorful and refreshing. I could browse your blog all day!

Holli Dunn - Oh now I have a tear in my eye - my dd is going off to kindergarten in a couple of weeks too. Your images are stunning and full of color and life.

admin - Thank you all so much! No I do not tresspass on private property for my field shots. I always get permission from the owner first. :) I'm too chicken to do that without asking! ;) Carol, my daddy (Santa) is doing great! As of right now he is officially cancer free! Praise Jesus!

Shantell Wyatt - You have a very beautiful daughter, and I can relate so well to your feelings, they just grow too fast!

Carol - Love the old desk!!! And where do you find these fields??? Are you trespassing, or do you have permission to be out there (I'm still too chicken to do it unauthorized!!). My daughter loves hats too, but maybe it's because she still has very little hair!! Your daughter's hair is beautiful!! P.S. How is your daddy (aka Santa) doing? I am hoping he is doing well. I was thinking about him the other night since fall is rapidly approaching, which means the holidays are getting closer!!

DSR - What a great celebration of sending Gaby off to school! The pictures are great! Don't forget to shoot some on that first off-to-school day. DSR

Jennifer - She IS gorgeous and oh so grown up looking! I especially love the umbrella shots - her hair just glows in that light.

Nicole Ramsay - I'm speechless. Gorgeous. My little guy turns 5 next month and he's off to school too. Sigh. They just grow up so fast.

Jennifer N - Absolutely gorgeous! I have one starting Kindergarten tomorrow. Where did the years go? :)

Lana - How sweet, those little outfits are to die for. And every girl needs a pair of hot pink shoes to top off her outfit doesn't she?

Beth - Angela, reading your story about Jon Jon totally touched my heart. Not only are you an amazingly talented photographer at such a young age, it sounds like you are a wonderful mother and strong person. I am so happy that your family is finally on a road to be able to make progress and have some understanding. He is so handsome and the previous poster is right – these do look like they should go in magazines!

They fight like cats and dogs at times, but they both love eachother SO much! I'm obviously a little biased, but I think he is adorable and has awesome hair too! ;) I have not cut his hair since January of this year. It's grown a LOT since then and I am really loving it! Again, thank you all so much. I am thankful to have so many wonderful people in my life that I know I can count on to always be there for me!

Now look at him, after everything he's gone through and will go through he is making it just fine, proving that he is a fighter! I absolutely love his hair, he is so cute!

Jean Smith - your story has truly touched me...you have an amazing way with words. and WOW...your images are SO beautiful...everything about them is just stunning. your little one is adorable!

Carol - He's adorable!!! And it looks like his sister loves him very much; that is such a blessing they have a good relationship. Dealing with the medical community can sometimes be very frustrating, so I am glad you found doctor(s) that are on your side. Thinking good thoughts and wishing you the best.......

Amber - Wow, what a beautiful post and a beautiful little boy! Thank you for sharing your journey and lots of luck for the road ahead.

admin - Thank you Mom. I don't know how Jonathan and I would have been able to come this far with Jon if it wearn't for the support we get from you and dad. We are all so thankful that you guys are so supportive and always there for us!

grandmother - JON-JON is amazing little boy I love him deerly I will always be there for him love always NANNY.

Stephanie - Beautiful photos!

Queen Bee - Your baby looks just like you, and yes, she is very beautiful! What I wouldn't give to have her hair.

admin - Thank you all so much! Natalie, I sooooo want to come back! We loved it on the beach! I might have to fly out there soon and spend a couple days with you guys! ;) I had originally tried the angel wings with Gaby under the pier on the second day of vacation, but the wind was just too strong to keep the wings on her. The wind actually ripped a lot of the feathers off of the wings. So I tried again on the last day of vacation, but this time we stayed away from the pier and did the shoot at 6:00 am. Worked like a charm!

Natalie Kimball - OMG Angela, these are absolutely breathtaking! Gaby is such a BEAUTIFUL little girl (wise beyond her years). How come I hadn't thought of the wings on the beach, ROFL! Can't wait to see what else you got while you were here!!!!! Wish you were closer so that we could all meet up more often :).

catherine - i HEART everthing about these. She is very deep and is full of soul in these. hope you guys had fun (we are leaving this weekend for the outer banks)

Jennifer ANderson - Oh my goodness! These are fantastico!!! She is such a true beauty--what a perfect model you have. I actually tried this same thing when my oldest daughter was about 7 and she had the worst "scowl" on her face, so maybe one turned out :( She did an awesome job---so many great ones.

admin - Thank you ladies so much! Your comments and visits are very much appreciated!

Caitlin Domanico Photography - Oohhhhhh this first photo is just breath-taking!!!!!

amanda belew - oh my gosh! the last two are a-MAZING!!! she looks beautiful...like a little woman.

elizabeth - Ohhh Angela.. these are STUNNING..

admin - Thank you all so much! I can't stop looking at them. I am so amazed by the beauty and maturity of my little girl in these shots. I do not have a favorite, because I love them all so much! Each and every one of these shots will be printed big...several will be canvas!!

Cyndee - WOW, Angela!!! Your daughter is sooo beautiful! These will be photographs you look at over and over again. Just beautiful!

beautiful! - Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I wish that I had a little more time to do a shoot on the beach during our vacation to florida but we were so busy I only got a few shots in! These are so pretty I hope you frame some of them!

Hope - ANGE!! You have such a beautiful daughter - I love these pictures -Tell Gabby she is a gorgeous girl! Love you guys and I miss you so much
