Hi all,

I'm back from my little break and to kick start the new year, I thought I'd do a special just for you

{Puffy Heart, She's mine} Angel Eyes Photography | Garden Route Child Photographer

2011-10-25T03:53:00.000-07:00

Everyone tells me I have a real little mini-me here, I get so puffy heart thinking about how beautiful she is, that I don't see it. We are really very blessed to have her in our lives, a real little Angel xoxo

An Angel Left Her Wings
© Tina M. Marascia
I have this little angel. For me she left her wings.
She has no idea how much happiness she truly brings.
She brightens up my days with her smiles and her laughs.
She helps me to remember all the blessings that I have.

Her face, it is so perfect, she's sweet and soft and pure.
Sometimes she can be willful and sometimes she is demure.
She tries her very hardest to please and do what's right.
She gives the greatest hugs from morning until night.

Every person that has known her sees this light within her soul
I know that in this whole great world, she has a special role.
She's helpful and considerate to everyone she knows
This light in her shines brighter as my angel grows.

When she sees someone is sad, it opens up her heart.
She wants to do all that she can; she wants to do her part.
She'll squeeze away the sorrow and make me forget about my pain.
She shows me where the sun is when we're hiding from the rain.

I know that God must love me, He showed me with His Grace
I knew just how completely when I saw my angel's face.
And in that very moment when she came into my world,
I knew that she was so much more than just my baby girl.

She would be my sunshine, with a sweetness that won't end.
And when she grows up one day she would be my closest friend.
She would be the reason I would always try my best.
For my little angel baby girl would be my greatest test.

When God entrusts to you an angel, who has left her wings for you.
Encircle her with love with everything you do.
Let her know God made her, and that He trusts you with her care.
Be sure to make time for special moments with her to share.

And when at night she finally says her prayers and goes to sleep
I Thank Him for my angel, and ask for him to always keep
A watchful eye and hand to protect her from this world.
Protect my little angel; protect my baby girl.

I recently had a chance to photograph a really gorgeous little family. Zoe was wary of me first, but soon warmed up to me and Nicole was just too precious.

There are limited spaces, so dont hesitate, call today!

A Mother's Love ~ Helen Steiner Rice

A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand...

A few weeks ago, I shot A's gorgeous little bump and now I was lucky to photograph this little one. I really didn't want to give this little Angel back. She was awake through the whole session, but such a quiet, happy little girl. At only 18 days old, she definitely recognizes her mommy and daddy's voices and is so precious... Thank you A and C for this opportunity.

A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.

We had some fun in the sun recently, this session was done at their home at Mount View Lifestyle Living & Resort in George. A beautiful playground and a really gorgeous swimming pool. Marco had fun running around, getting to play for a while during the session, showing me how he can slide and climb. Too cute! We tried doing a few family sessions with him sitting, but that was too boring :) The pool was the best, lots of water to play with. I took my daughter along and while I was shooting, she was playing and boy was she soaked afterwards. Lol. Little Marco is so very friendly, I even got a kiss at the end. Such the romantic!
