G Children











These cuties belong to some close friends of ours. I am actually teaching the little girl this year and am very excited about that! You may recognize them from earlier posts. They go to our church and are friends of my children- so they are no strangers tot his blog.

This was also a pretty quick squeezed in mini-session. The Mom had some very specific ideas in mind that I hope I was able to capture for her. The little one just is not too sure he likes my giant camera! =)

She really likes the vintage look. They are not all in this hue- but I wanted to post the ones I knew she would like. And for these shots, they were my favorites anyway. These children are just beautiful!!

Promise of Joy:
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
Psalm 28:7

Beautiful Sisters












This was a very quick "meeting of the minds" mini session! We were together about 20 minutes. They were ready to go and just wanted a few shots for their fall preview photos for Homecoming. I was honored they had asked me to do it.

I just couldn't help take some "sisters" shots while we were there. I have known these 2 girls their whole lives. It is hard to believe they are this grown. I always knew they'd be beautiful!! And no, they are not twins-- but very, very close in age =)

We had a great time! I wish we had had time to do entire session-- maybe someday soon! I wish you girls the BEST!! I hope these pictures serve you well at school!!


Promise of Joy:
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11

Claim this promise as you make plans for your future. Follow God's Will for your life and your plans will succeed! We will be praying for you! =)

A few projects






I have been doing a little experimenting on some photos. (As if I have TIME for ANY thing right now!) This is how I relax and unwind!!

If you see soemthing on here you like, it might can be done for future sessions-- depending on what and how many =)
Let me know what you think! Please leave COMMENTS!! I love getting feedback!

These of course are a few shots of my family again. They are the easiest to experiment with! Plus-- I did the ones with the scripture and quote to be hung on my wall- a little art-deco!! =)

Thanks so much for keeping up with me on here! You make this sooo rewarding!! Please book now for the Spring if you think you may want a session.
And a big thanks to all of you who voted me "Best of the Delta"! You will never know how much your love and support mean to me!!

Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!

This is soooo true!! I am amazed at his love and generosity toward me, and my family! He has blessed us far more than we deserve!

Family Beach Photos














I had the most wonderful, relaxing vacation with my sweet family! Just the 4 of us stayed in the nicest little condo. It was such a wonderful bonding time for us- right as we head into the new school year. My little boy is going into 4th grade, and my little girl is going into 2nd grade! I can NOT believe it!!

It was the perfect week! No whining, fussing, fighting or complaining! WOW!! They were just great!! (Even when we had to jump through hoops to get out of our condo in 30 minutes and LOSE a day of what we thought we had-- due to my date mix-up-- my obiggest flaw I believe-- I live by my calendar!! HA!! Such is life-- but no one said a word-- they were so sweet and helpful. I love them with all of my heart!!♥

The children have really turned into such wonderful little people, and I am so very proud of both of them. M is still taking karate and is doing an excellent job. He is starting soccer at the end of this month, too. HB played softball this summer and she is working hard with a cheer competion team this fall. They will compete in October. We are so busy- but it is so rewarding!

I am truly thankful for my family. I know how wonderfully blessed we are with 2 happy, HEALTHY, sweet children. I thank God every day for them and have dedicated them to Him.

*** I also have a FaceBook account now that I also post lots of pics on that you can join if ya want! =)

Promise of Joy:
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...
