My little boy is pitching!

This is Gage's third year playing baseball. His team is in D1 now, so the kids are pitching. (it's a little scary) He was so excited that he got to start yesterday!! I'm so proud of him!

Our littlest dog, Oliver.

Random Fun stuff!

Yea!! I've had these beautiful prints by Steve Lyons for a long time now and I finally have them on the wall!! I love these prints because first, Steve is an amazing photographer and second, these are film (not digital). Love them!! They're right by my front door!

He's such a good boy!

This is Amos, one of my three dogs. I love all my dogs very much but, Amos and I are just great buddies! He listens well, walks very well and loves to dance with you. Although he has a huge under bite, bad breath and answers to anything, including "dumb dumb" he is very sweet. Amos is part lab and part boxer. He was actually my son's b-day gift a couple of years ago but now is more like mine than anything. Well heck, if I consider the amount of work I put in, their all my "dogs" :)

Baby Corbin is 3 months old now!!

Love this!





So adorable!! I love pix with mom!! Brittany, you're beautiful inside and out!


Corbin's lookin so fly in his Puma gear!

Corbin is one of my best friends' baby. He is so sweet and loveable. My favorite thing is just holding him and talking to him! This age is so cool because you can see all the changes happening right before your eyes. A few weeks/month ago he couldn't focus his eyes or smile (unless on accident). Now he's looking right at you and it doesn't take much to get that adorable smile on his face. He's just lights up the room! Congrats to his parents Brit and Jay and his big brother Chase. I love you guys!!

My daughter's 9th bday party

Bieber Fever, for sure.


"The Lounge" The girls just made themselves at home :)





All the girls got along so well!! I love this pic, two friends from the new school and two from the old school.


Each gift bag had eyeshadow, a comb, headband, ring pop and a blow up microphone.

The Little Divas, another one of my daughter's favs




My daughter just turned 9 over the weekend!! I can hardly believe that. Other parents have been telling me all along that time goes so fast with kids. You hear it but you don't see until one day it just sneaks up on you!! I'm so proud of her and she is becoming such an interesting person! As much as I miss her as a baby I love my time with her now. She still wants to hang out with me too! Will this last forever? Hopefully!
She wanted a Pop Star Party so this is what we came up with;
1.) The invatations were backstage passes for each girl (pop star) with instructions to come to a dress rehearsal at our house. Tickets to a "one night only" show were also sent out to their parents and family.
2.)We decorated with crate paper and other fun stuff that we found in the birthday girl's room. We rearranged our living room and dinning room to make a lounge and stage. In the lounge we pulled some of her bedding and pillows so it looked like her "pad". The dinning room had Christmas light framing the entrance.
Once the girls arrived we had pizza and opened presents in the lounge. Then all of the girls had their hair, makeup and nails done for the show. We had head shots taken of each girl too. They selected their favorite shot and we printed one for them to take home. After the photo shoot it was time to practice.
There was two groups, Little Divas and the Mini Stars. Each group would dance and lip sing to one song. At 6:00 the parents came back to watch the show. The girls did great!! We all had a great time!
Thank you to my cousin and my sister-in-law for helping with the hair and nails!!

The Triplets

Meet the triplets!








I love this shot! Definitely my favorite.





I could decide which I liked better! This one


Or that one. The kids were so much fun to photograph!

The triplets are a friend of mines children. I was so excited to catch up with them on FB recently. We hadn't seen each other in about 5 years so I had to throw together a photo shoot for them. I've known their mom and her family for forever and it was so nice to see them again! Much love to the Root family and their families!

Pocket of Spring

Gage's amazing photo!


Kiley's amazing photo!


A plant, roots and all from Kiley


A wonderful worm, my son found in our fishing gear, imagine that!


So with my wedding season going into full force next month, the family and I have been outdoors every chance we get! This weekend we went to a great fishing lake (kid friendly) in West Chester called Voice of America Park. I thought it would be fun to collect things that have to do with spring. It turned out to be a great idea since the fish weren't biting!

We used filing folders, stapled two sides shut and decorated the cover to make our "pocket of Spring". The kids found some great spring plants and critters. We took photos of the things they found and put them in the "pockets". The kids got to use a "big" camera and we're pretty proud of the results!

Winter Break

My Valentine's gift from my son! So sweet!


Frozen tree limbs during the ice storm this year. I like it because it kinda looks like a deer!


Heavy icicles on a neighbor's house.


A Cold little Flower.


My daughter's 100 pieces school project. She was so proud!

Hello! I hope everyone is ready for Spring! I personally am looking forward to the 2009 wedding season just around the corner! I've spent the last couple of months hanging out with my family and catching up on a few things around the house. My daughter had a wonderful school project to work on also, she was assigned a 100 piece project to celebrate the 100th day of school. We decided to do, 100 things that can be recycled. The project was a great learning experience in so many ways and the whole family pitched in! There is a photo of her finished recycling can. I also posted a few personal photos from snow we had, I hope you enjoy!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

We hope you have a smashing New Year!

Finally Updated!!

I know I've gotta be one of the worst blogger's in town and I'm sorry for that. I've had an extremely busy year this year and I let my blog go for a long time. I finally did update it, this was a big chore at this point and I was not able to post every single event, but I think there is a fair amount. I promise to keep up on my blogging in the up coming wedding season. There are 20 new post listed, so please look though them all, there are some beautiful shots!!

Thanks,
Tracy Doyle

Halloween

More family photos! My kids this Halloween were too cute! I think it's obvious who my son was, my daughter was a punk cheerleader!

Just for Fun

I love to shoot just for fun, but with my busy schedule between work and family, I don't always get a chance to do it. I made some time to do a studio shot, something I've done a little of before. I was lucky enough to get a great studio to use (Daylight Photo), a great make up artist (Jenny Costello, FYI she does bridal make up!) and a beautiful model (Tessa, a good friend). We got the wedding dress and chair from Good Will and Tessa made them beautiful! (You should see the before shots!) These are my personal favorites. Hopefully you'll see more personal work of mine soon!!

The newest addition to the family

My son really wanted a puppy for his birthday this year! So as you can see, he got it! We're BIG dog lovers and he was the perfect addition to our family. His name is Amos, after our favorite music artist Amos Lee (look him up if you haven't heard). He's a boxer and lab mix, Too cute! I had to throw in a pic of our Aries too! She's been with us since my daughter was born. She's the best dog we could ever ask for!!

First Day of School!!

Photos from my kids first day of school. I was so excited, this is my son's first year of pre-school! He looks so grown up! My daughter started first grade, this was a big deal too, because you know first grade is better than kindergarten! She was so excited to not be the youngest this year!
