About Me
- Cindy
- I am mama of two, a nonna of two and a wife to my adorable hubby. I am also a budding photographer who sees life through the lens of a camera. I am constantly on the lookout for a new photoshoot site and love taking natural light photos for my sweet families.... I have recently started repainting thrift store and discarded furniture and bringing it back to life.
do you know about pinterest yet???

I love this post!!!!!! So Beautiful!! xoxo
Awesome pics. I was never a big fan of red, until we bought our own house. Then all of a sudden I wanted a red kitchen. LOL I didn't go bright red, but a barn type red..the official name is an apple a day.
