March 8, 2010 - 5:44 am - What a great cause!
I remember when each of my children turned one. With Darius (he’s our first), we went all out. We invited everyone and anyone. We layed out a huge spread and had a fantastic party. With Andre (our middle), his party was half as big. We invited close friends and family members. Still had a great time, but it was a little more intimate. When Juliana (our third and final), turned one, it was just us. I’ve learned that the best parties are not the big huge extravagant ones. They’re the ones that you celebrate with those closest to you; the most important ones.
This sweet girl is about to turn one. Isn’t she a doll? I mean, she has the perfect face of a doll. We ventured out to a park downtown. I’d never been there and neither had she. It was a mid day shoot with lots of bright sun out and I hadn’t shot a one year old in quite some time. I had been praying and wishing that I still had it.
It was so nice spending the warm afternoon outside beneath the trees and the buzzing people. I think that Miss O gave me some great shots that her parents will surely cherish! Take a peek:

I was so mad about the weather that day. We’d just enjoyed a beautiful, balmy, 70F sunny day. But as we all know, Houston’s weather is never predictable. I had to go to the grocery store and had to troop out into the sleet with my 3 year old. It was cold. The roads were crazy. I was not happy. And then, the snow came.
The last time it snowed, the kids were stuck in school and I vowed that I would take them out of school if it snowed again. Don’t hate. I grew up in Northern Arizona where it snowed every winter and we’d walk the streets during the bright & quiet nights having snow ball fights. I remember one year in particular. My mom had planned to take a few friends and I out of town for my birthday. But then it snowed 6 inches during the night. In a small town, there was only one place to be and it was the local elementary school. There were huge hills that we could take our makeshift sleds (either a trash bag or a garbage can lid) and sled to our hear’s desire. So, yes. I was going to take my kids out of school to make a memory for them.
But I didn’t have to 
The snow started around 4:30 and lasted only a short while. And, as mad as I was about the cold weather, I took them outside and we made memories
February 25, 2010 - 2:11 pm - You are an awesome mom! These are beautiful and fun!
February 25, 2010 - 4:05 pm - Love it!!!
February 26, 2010 - 3:09 am - Love these!! Soo jealous about the snow!!!!
February 26, 2010 - 1:05 pm - Hi Christie, I am so thankful for the response that you recieved for the Photo Party for Layla. this is such a neat way, that we, who don't even know Layla, can help other than to pray. When I sent a note to you yesterday moring, there were only 5 comments and by the time I went to bed last night, there were 40. What a great response. I am still interested in hosting a party here in the Woodlands, if it works out, but also totally understand that you can only take so many. thank you again for helping this beautiful family in not only the parties, but the beautiful photos that you took of Layla on a moment's notice. They will be eternally grateful. Love, Debbie Cox
February 26, 2010 - 1:31 pm - Looks like they had lots of fun trying to catch snowflakes on their tongue. Seems like ya'll down south have had your share of snow this year.
February 26, 2010 - 5:03 pm - I love these Christie!!! What awesome memories for them and you! :)
February 26, 2010 - 10:25 pm - So cute! Love the tongues! :)
February 27, 2010 - 5:34 pm - Beautiful photos. I am glad you made nice memories with your children.
February 27, 2010 - 10:35 pm - Love the ones of them trying to catch the snowflakes on their tounge. So cute!
February 28, 2010 - 6:47 am - Christie, I'm 100% positive that they thought you were the coolest mom on the planet for keeping them home that day. You've got to enjoy these moments while you can!!
February 28, 2010 - 7:21 pm - Love it! Let them enjoy the snow! They'll love you for the fun memories!
February 28, 2010 - 7:31 pm - Great memories! I love that you have pretty green grass with the snow! Everything around us is brown and white!!!
February 28, 2010 - 8:04 pm - Love how the snow just pops out!!!! These are fantastic and I know you earned super cool mom points for letting them enjoy it!!!
February 28, 2010 - 11:23 pm - And I'm sure they'll always remember these memories! Great photos and it looks like so much fun!
March 1, 2010 - 3:05 am - Hi Christie, I just wanted to tell you that you did such beautiful work for Layla. I have added a link to your site to my new site created for Layla Grace. I hope to add all of her friends there in time!

Wow. I am beyond humbled. I went to bed last night and woke up with over 40 inquiries of people wanting to host a Party for Layla. You, my friends, are amazingly generous and you inspire me!
I can’t thank you all enough for your interest in hosting or participating in these events. I am still trying to find dates for April. I just wish I could take all of your offers. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I will be able to accomodate all of you who’ve inquired. Once the dates are available, I will contact you in the order that you inquired/commented. If one can not make the date work, I will then go to the next person.
If you would like to book a full session, I will donate $40 of the Creative Fee to the Marsh Family and offer you a 10% discount on your final order. This offer is valid for any sessions booked between now and March 31. Please contact me using the Contact Form in the menu at the top of this page! Thank you so much!
February 25, 2010 - 3:22 pm - I live in Oregon and wont be able to host one of your fabulous parties, but wanted to express what admiration I have for those in the Marsh's community that are helping them through this difficult time. You are angel on earth. Ever in Oregon, I would definitely have you come on over!
February 25, 2010 - 6:48 pm - I just wanted to say what an amazing thing you are doing for this family. May God bless you tremendously for so freely giving of your time and your talents! You are a great photographer, I love your work!
February 27, 2010 - 12:44 am - What an amazing gift you are giving the Marsh family. Such beautiful portraits of Layla.....that family and sweet baby girl have changed my life. God bless you all!
February 27, 2010 - 5:36 pm - What an amazing thing you are doing here.
March 5, 2010 - 12:29 pm - Christie, I would absolutely love to get some photographs done by you even if it's not at the discounted rate. I know it would be for a great cause in helping Miss Layla. Please let me know if in the future, possibly May sometime that we could get with you on this. -Brandy
