Harrison

This adorable guy has grown so much since the first time I saw him through my lens! Thankfully his attitude hasn't changed! He is so sweet and laid back and was willing to do anything we asked of him!! I always enjoy my time with Harrison and laugh so much at him!

I believe he is one of the most photogenic boys I have! Of course, it's probably because he is willing to do anything we ask! haha!! But I always love his portraits!!

Thank you so much for trusting me again with these special moments!! He is a doll-- I just want to take him home with me!!! =)

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.

Have you ever seen so many brown eyes in a single picture?? LOL!! I love it!! This is a beautiful family. I wish I had more time with them-- but man, when that sun starts going down this time of year...it's GONE! And it was December and we were burning UP and getting carried away by mosquitos-- gotta love Louisiana!!

This is another precious family I got to know through Hannah Beth. I am amazed at how many sbsolutely wonderful families she has brought into my life! We have been friends since the girls were born, thanks to Mrs. Betty's, but through the years the girls were never in the same class at school until 4th grade. And what a huge blessing that was!! Hannah Beth had a few friends move away- and most of her friends were in a different class- so Emilie saved her year!! This year they are separated again-- but now I nothing could come between their friendship!!

I love big families-- and especially this one! If I could have packaged the energy that wsa in this group I would be a millionaire! They crack me up!! Lots of singing, dancing and laughing! That's the way it always seems to be with them.

Thank you so much, Kelly for trusting me with your family portraits again!! We will have to get together for Little bits pictures by herself!! LOL!!

Never a dull moment with this family!!! I had so much fun spending the afternoon with this crew. Poor kids hardly stood a chance with all of the teasing that was going on! It was too funny. Kind of reminded me of my own family (cut into 1/3) lol!! I'd have to pay a photographer triple to get my whole family taken!!

It was a perfect afternoon. I know several were very reluctant to have their portraits taken-- but I think they turned out great!!

I hope this will be a geat memory for you all. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a small part of it. =)

Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart.

The Smith's

The Smith's are no strangers to this blog!! I loooooove this sweet family!! This is yet another family that came into our lives through one of my children! The little girl and Hannah Beth go all the way back to kindergarten. The first time I had heard of them is because Kaitlyn had her tonsils out. They have been best friends ever since. Plus, I had the honor of teaching Kaitlyn in 1st grade. =)

This is another family that feels like family. I always know they are just a phone call away! -- And it goes both ways! We have shared lots of laughter, prayers, advice and tears!! I count Mandy as one of my closest friends.

So it is always a memorable time when we do their pictures! I love spending the afternoon with them-- even grouchy Chris! LOL!! And since they have moved I treasure this time even MORE!!

Thank you, Mandy- for trusting me with your family memories-- I KNOW how much they mean to you!! And I am honored when I walk into your home and see my "artwork" as you say!! Thank you for everything!! We miss ya'll like crazy!!

The Lord is my light and my salvation... the Lord is the strength of my life.
