I don’t know you manage it all Robin! You are an awesome photographer, mom, wife and friend, AND yet you make time to make someone’s day brighter with your Christmas giveaway! I think your Holiday gift is sharing your talent and your friendship!!!

Robin, So nice to see what amazing talent you have as a photographer! Wishing you continued success in all your business, family, and personal endeavors in the new year ahead!

Seven days without laughter makes one weak. – Joel Goodman

I just had an all out giggle-fest here at work…tears were streaming and my cheeks hurt from all the smiling I urge everyone to have AT LEAST 1 of those moments every week!!!

Thank you so much for doing this for everyone! I think it is so awesome and gives me something to look forward to! I cant wait to see Connor this Christmas and see how he likes it…right now overtime there is a Santa on TV, Connor says “ho, ho, ho,” haha!

Christopher, my four year old, is saving and gifting Christmas hugs to all his friends and family. I asked him what a “Christmas hug” was. He replied “First I give you a great big hug” (he proceeds to hug and squeezes me tight) then continued “and then I wish you a “Merry Christmas!”" he replied. Now that is heart warming and truly in the Christmas spirit. Hope this brings a smile to your face.

It’s your time! Do the things that you enjoy and make you happy – don’t do things you don’t like. If there is something that you don’t like, find a way to change it. If there is something hard, find one thing to make it more pleasant (like in that long painful run, the pretty smell of the gardenia plant). Have fun and laugh a lot! Have a great Christmas Robin!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I LOVE your work.

Love life and laugh often!

I’m thankful to be in NC. Since moving here, I’ve lost 25 lbs (silly, but I gotta give myself some credit:) ), we’ve got a house, we’re established and rebuilding our friendships with people we left behind in NC. I’ve met so many wonderful people, this is such a wonderful community of people; we’ve just been incredibly blessed to be here.

Robin: Have faith in people, because even when it seems the world is crashing down, someone out there is helping someone else. Every year I feed the homeless on Thanksgiving day, and I remember why I am so lucky (even at the times I don’t feel it). I am lucky that I have a wonderful family (like you do, even with the ups and downs), amazing friends (who are just a phone call away), amazing colleagues (like yourself), and a husband who has been so supportive of everything (just like Steve is to you). The motto I live by:

life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances, you just have to live life to the fullest. laugh as much as you can, spend all your money, tell someone what they mean to you, tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someones hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, smile till your face hurts, dont be afraid to take chances or fall in love…& most of all live in the moment cause when you look back someday knowing you have no regrets it’s gonna be what makes you smile

For my comment I’m going to share a story about a coworker of mine. Her daughter is seven-ish, and she wrote a letter to santa asking for the things she wanted. At the end of it she said “PS: Santa, when you come to our house PLEASE come and wake me up and let me take a picture with you. I need to show it to my friends because they don’t believe in you.”

Thanks for the awesome giveaway, Robin!

Robin, you are an amazing mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, photographer, athlete and woman. You inspire me with your drive, determination, kindness, spirit, and zest for life. I am blessed to have you in my life. Love you.

Robin, I miss seeing you! I’ve been reading how you have been doing all the Ramblin Roses and I think it’s SUPER AMAZING!!! I am thinking about signing up for one next year! I wish you and your family a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ours is definetly from The Santa Claus when I he is in jail and the cop asks him his name, he tells him all the different names for Santa around the world. Our favorite is “Popo Schisho”!

It’s a Wonderful Life: “Every time a bell rings an angel gets it’s wings.”

“If you can’t accept anything on faith, then you’re doomed to a life of doubt.” Kris Kringle-Miracle on 34th Street (I like the new version with hottie Dylan McDermott!

“Grace, well she died years ago”"…”the blessing…say the blessing!” Hehe! I love this part of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation! We could definitely use a DVD player! This is a great little giveaway!

Putting my name in the hat! Beautiful work — we’d love a chance for a shoot!

Here’s hoping it is my family’s lucky day!

Thanks Robin for doing this!! We love your pictures!!

Robin – this is a great one! we’ll hope were lucky on this one!

Oh, how I would love to win a session with you! Your work is the absolute best! .

I don’t really remember having a favorite book as a child, but definitely remember reading often! I loved to read (anything and everything)! As for now, I love reading “I Love You Through and Through, I Love You Goodnight, and I’ll Love you Forever (even though I can’t get through this one without a tear) to Cailyn before bedtime! I get sucked in by the sappy books and Cailyn LOVES them too! We are also very fortunate that she LOVES to read! We definitely have a LARGE collection for her, because I started collecting children’s books prior to college and also have the books I had as a child!

My favorite books seemed to always be in series. I loved the Box Car children books the most. I also really enjoyed the ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ books. I would always try to re-read them over and over again to be sure I got every possible outcome. As I got to my teens I could never put down Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet being my favorite.

Hey there! My favorite book as a child and still my favorite book today is “The Giving Tree”. I read it to the boys all the time and they get so irritated with it! They take it so literally and don’t get the underlying message. The book always makes me cry. Ryan especially rolls his eyes at me and he just hates the boy for killing his best friend!
