Thankfulness

As I am getting ready for our family trip to LA I wanted to post a blog of Thankfulness. 2009 has been a year filled with ups and downs. I lost my father on May 9th. He passed away on his 60th birthday after a long 3 year battle with leukemia. We had had a falling out and in the end we worked things out, I am so thankful for that. Such a great blessing it was to be able to talk to him in his last few months.
I am thankful for my husband, who does so much for his family and has been so supportive through everything this year. Making 6 trips to NY to be with my father and bringing the boys to see him, sometimes flying by himself with the three boys or driving with them by himself. Amazing. I don't know how many people could do that and he did.
I am thankful for my three wonderful boys; Jonathan, Aiden and Preston. God truly blessed me with them. I couldn't image going through life without their little smiles, sayings or hugs.
I am thankful for Rocco, who will be here soon and I can't wait to meet him and see how amazingly he adds to our family.
I am thankful for my Mom, Reva, Gia, Matt and Jimmy, I have an awesome family!

Here are a few photos of our last few times seeing my Dad and the boys first time meeting him.

For anyone who knew my Dad he always had the best attitude and believed you could always win with the right mindset.







This was Preston giving my Dad his most loved puppy dog to make him feel better.



We all miss you Dad and are so Thankful for you!

Family Photo Sessions!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a few Colorado families, it was a blast! Enjoy the photos!

Christmas Cards and New Blog!

As this year is coming to an end I wanted to have a new start to my blog. I will be keeping the old blog open so you may still look at my work on that but all new work will be posted on this blog!
The old blog address is (http://www.megsfotos.blogspot.com/)
I am currently working on a new logo and layout so enjoy but don't be surprised if you keep seeing new looks to this blog!

I am offering a mini photo session this coming weekend. I have a few spots left to fill. If you are interested please email (meghan@meghanvalentine.com) or call me (303.519.5740)
Saturday Nov 21st I am shooting at City Park in Denver and Sunday Nov 22nd I am shooting at the Park/Pathway near the Denver Children's Museum. It is $50 and that will get you 30 mins of photography coverage, the cd of digital negatives and one 8x10 inch print! As you can see I do offer Christmas cards that can be customized to your needs. These are a few examples. Enjoy looking around, so much more to come, Cheers!
