Life, Mothers, Birthdays, & Love

I love being a mother.  My children have brought my both my greatest joys & my deepest sorrows – and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Thinking back to my experience on Mother’s Day last year, I have a renewed sense of gratitude for my Heavenly Father, His protection of me & my family, and His love for his children. I’m so grateful to be alive, healthy, have 3 beautiful children, and an amazing, supportive,and  totally hot husband. 🙂

Today we also get to celebrate Cara’s birthday! I can’t believe how fast she is growing up and how much FUN she is. I love her little personality, her smiles, her radiant happiness, her 5 teeth, and how she LOVES to play peek-a-boo when we put her down to bed.

I’m waiting until our vacation is over to do her cake smash session so those photos will be coming in the next week and a 1/2, but here’s a few of my kids from last Fall that I don’t believe I ever shared.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful women who want, are, and someday will be mothers!

    Dear Jess,

    I am Jeff Pratt’s Mom – and a Facebook fan of yours 🙂

    How fantastic for you to be a Mom who is a professional photographer !!! These photos of your kids are great – if it were I, I’d probably be trying to capture every waking (and sleeping) moment of my children :)) Another thing – the eyes of your children in these photos are especially striking and beautiful. You do great work!

    Janice
