Isn't this young man the perfect model!! Wow!
I had the best time with this family. They were open to anything and had the best attitude. And don't you loooove that green building-- that was the Mom's idea as we drove by it to another venue! It may be my new favorite place! Thanks for all of your fabulous ideas and helpful insights!! We need to do this again!

They are such a sweet mother-son combo! They seem to have such a great relationship. Thank you for allowing me to capture these special times for you! And thank you for sharing your story with me today-- God bless you and your sweet little guy!

The weather was a PERFECT 70 degrees and SUNNY!! I couldn't have asked for better! I had prayed about this session for a WEEK! It has been so long (since the 1st of Dec since I did a session- I was on a "break"- that I was scared I had forgotten how to do it-- isn't that hilarious? So I prayed all the way to their small town for guidance -- and I feel he answered those prayers for me! So I give God the glory for any thing that you may be impressed with! He makes it so easy for me sometimes!!

I am so excited about my spring sessions! Thank you to all of you who have booked an appointment! I have some appointments available-- but book now- it is getting pretty busy!! =)

Promise of Joy:
Children are a gift from God; they are his reward.
Psalm 127:3
This verse really jumped out at me- it very much fits this family. I know you have been through a lot-- but God has rewarded you and still has his hand on your life! God Bless!!
** These files were too big to upload as one blog-- so be sure to check out the next blog too!

Sometimes you just have to go where they are....

Aren't these too cute??? I just took candid shots showing their adorable personalities. They were so much fun! I am finally finished editing these pictures. I am so happy with them. It was a huge session resulting in a couple of hundred photos! If you'd like to see the rest -- there are so many more I'd love to post- but probably won't have time-- go to the link to the right that says NielsensFlash and it will take you to the gallery views.

I am really getting booked up fast for the Spring- and lots of people have me on "stanby". I am taking limited appointments- so please contact me soon to get one!

Promise of Joy:
Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy... The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
Psalm 126:2-3

Perfect for the looks of joy on MOST of their faces! I treasure this time- I know that it will be a FLASH- and they will all be grown! That is the THE reason photography is so important to me. You only get to live this moment ONCE! I hope you have enjoyed your children today and let them know what a treasure they are!

Just a few more...

Great Family

Here are a few more from my friend's family. I told them that this was a lot of family for just 2 daughters! HA! Each one has 4 kids- so it added up pretty fast!Aren't they all adorable?? They really like the traditional group shot- and with so many littleones- I didn't push them to branch out too much! They (the kids) were wanting it to be overwith after the first shot! HA!
We really had a good time, though. They are truly a great family and I am so honored they asked me to do this for them this year. They get pictures made every year at this time- and they are always so good. I hope you like these! I will start putting these into the gallery today I hope. I am not finished with them-- but I will put the ones I am finished with.


Promise of Joy:
For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.
I Thessalonians 3:9

This is my focus for the next year. I will find joy in every situation. I will count my blessings, not burdens. I have it sooo much better than most, that to complain is truly a sin. I will strive to follow these promises in this great New Year of 2009!

Thr 'R' Family

This awesome family may look familiar to you. I took pictures of mainly the kids and a couple of the Mom back in the Fall.

They are some of our very best, dearest, and oldest (as in a long time)=) friends.
We met playing church league baseball years and years ago! We were still in college, newlyweds and these precious children were but a spark in our hearts! We laugh at how different we were back then! And amazingly, we have grown and changed drastically over the years- but not apart! They are like family- as comfortable as a brother or sister. We go for very long times without seeing each other because we live a very miserable 2 hours apart. (I say miserable because I have had to stop more than once on the way down there feeling VERY carsick!)

But, she called me and asked us to come down New Year's Day and take these pics. Her sister is in from way far away and they all wanted to capture these memories together with their Mom and Dad.

I had a GREAT time. We had so much fun seeing their fabulous new house- and the kids just fell right into step with theirs. My little girl was ELATED with all the girls- she is always around BOYS!

Well, I have gone on and on- and the truth is I could keep going on and on- but for your sake- I'll wrap it up-- I have lots of others from this session to post.


Promise of Joy:
A friend loves at all times.
Proverbs 17:17

What other verse could I choose?? =)

Happy New Year!!!

I am so sorry it has SEEMED that I have not been blogging!! But I have tried and tried and the site kept giving me an error. I have pulled my hair out trying to find the "glitch". It kept telling me the address was wrong- but I think I figured out that my files were way to big to be uploaded at one time. I have never had this happen!! So- please forgive me for not posting- I promise I have not been "slacking"!!-- This post may be a little crazy-- Oh well- I am moving on!! I have a great session that I know people are waiting on. =)

Thank you to all of you who have asked me about my newest pictures! Your faithfulness in keeping up is what keeps me blogging!! You are the BEST!


Promise of Joy:
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18

I just loved this scripture for the New Year! We lose sight sometimes of what is important!!This is a scripture I Pray I can live by more 2009.

God has truly blessed my family this year- and for all of the years before that! I am so thankful for His mercy and His saving grace! He has been so gracious to my family. We are healthy and together and close by our loved ones. God has truly done a work in my life in the past year. I feel I have grown more spiritually this year than I have in a very long time. God has been so real to me and has made His presence known to me in so many situations.

Thank you to all of my friends who have been such a blessing to me. I pray that you all have a year of peace and happiness. I also pray that you will grow closer in your walk with God. That you will feel the fullness of His Joy!

Happy New Year!!
