Sunday School

Posted on May 14th, 2012

….My mom had been telling me for years Why don’t you teach the religious class? I never listened. I was too busy doing other stuff. Plus, to be honest, I never felt like I was good enough to do that. I felt like I needed to be some sort of saint to be in that position. Plus, I am not a teacher.

Last year, Julian started to go to Sunday school (or religious class). One times that I came to pick him up I saw his teacher (a super sweet lady by the way) trying to help a bunch of little kids with their craft and so I offered to help. After the class, his teacher and I got to chat for a little bit. I came to find out that the reason she ended up with all these kids (pre-k and k level) was because the old pre-k teacher had left.

It’s funny how things work out. After that day, I continued to help. After a while, I ended up taking the preschool group. Once again… I should have listened to my mom… I really enjoy doing this.

I have no experience teaching (other than tutoring), but I do have lots of experience playing I figured ;)  It has been an unexpected ride. I have done everything from puppet shows, to acting, and storytelling… lots os unpredictable crazy fun. Obviously, this has only worked out so great because it is little people I am dealing with. Otherwise, I think I would be in trouble.

Anyways, the point here is listen to your mother, hahaha… Noooooo, that is no fun, right Julian???!

We took this photo on the last class a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, a lot of kids were missing that day. But, at least I have something to remember them. I miss them already.

My mom

…..I always knew she was pretty awesome, but when I became a mother… she became my hero.

These photos mean so much to me. Even the ones where my mom isn’t with me make me think of her because I KNOW that she was on the other side of the camera. ♥

Happy Mother’s Day weekend!

Mother’s Day :: michigan family photographer

When Christina contacted me to do a Mother’s Day shoot, the first thing that came to mind was aw… so sweet, that is an awesome gift selfishly thinking it is a great gift for me, hahahaha… of course, I quickly realized that was not what she meant, duh Diana…  Either way, one way or another, I accepted it as my gift. I loved photographing this mama and her babies. I may be a little biased, but I can’t think of a better gift for mother’s day than this. So precious. Bonus points for Jeff, her awesomely supportive husband who is always so patient with our adventures.

….I love it when I go to check my inbox and I find that message from 2 in the morning that goes along the lines of I found the perfect hat! or The dress has arrived! It tells me this person is as crazily excited about planning our photo session as I am. I absolutely love what I do and it is even better to have someone to share this excitement.

After we were done with our session, this little girl said to me Take a picture of my shoes! Well… of course!!! I don’t even need to tell you how awesome she is. ;)
