Custom Photo Invitation │ Sentiments by Sarah │ Girl's 5th Birthday Invitation

When I started digital scrapbooking back in 2007 I had no idea how far that process would evolve - My Scrappin' Evolution was certainly an apt name because from that meek beginning my life and my craft have certainly evolved over the past three years.

To that end I have decided that this blog will still continue to be my home to share digital scrapbooking pages and possibly free kits again one day, but it will also include more items from my work-at-home-mom business Sentiments by Sarah, as well as other tips on photoshop and photography - all the wonderfully creative things that twirl around my life as a mom of fabulous and funny twin girls.

To my amazement, time has flown by and those funny and fabulous twins will soon be celebrating their 5th birthday, a fact that they celebrate exuberantly daily. In addition to the their birthday list they are starting their Christmas lists as well.

If you have someone celebrating a special birthday and you'd like to invite friends and family in a special way, consider Sentiments by Sarah for a unique custom design. If you would like a you-print option, please contact me for details, as that option is not available on my website.



Happy Birthday my sweet Girls - Mommy loves you SOOO much!

Brenham Bluebonnets │ Kingwood Area Children's Photographer

I made my first trip to Brenham this past week with two girlfriends and their sets of twins and my own set of twins (it was a lot of kids). The goal was to take photos of one set of twins and their younger sister in the massive fields of bluebonnets.

I was quite excited on the trip up because the cloud cover was creating a giant softbox in the sky, which makes it much easier to take "as you are" photos of little kids who aren't of the mindset to be directed. But naturally, as soon as we pulled into the first field of flowers the sun popped out and we all started sweating.

Amazingly, everyone stayed in pretty good spirits despite the heat and despite the first field not being solid blue like it had been for the mom last year. Bringing my girls along proved to be a bit tricky as they have a tendency to use me as a chair anytime I'm close to the ground and I missed a few shots because they hopped on my legs the first time I crouched down to take pictures. They were quite content once we got them playing with the baby though.

I wanted to share some of the photos I was able to capture of these beautiful kiddos. What a challenge, but I love the end results.
