Terrific trio (again) =)

This precious family has honored me withthe opportunity to capture their sweet memories again!! I have really been looking forward to it-- they are so much fun and just beautiful!! They really make my job easy!! The heat was a killer-- but you would not have known by them!!
Their Mom does such a fantastic job of coordinating their outfits!! After their last session I had so many families want the color combination she used!! I think she hit a winner again this time!! It's hard with boys and girls- but they look adorable!

Thanks so much, B, for trusting me with your memories again! I really enjoy your sweet children and love watching them "grow" in the pictures!

Promise of Joy:
Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.
Psalm 106:1

This scripture has been made into a song-- and I love that song and now it is stuck in my head!! I am so thankful for songs like that -- it helps me to remember scripture and keep them "close". I have sooo much to be thankful and praise God for- and these songs help me to do just that!! Take time to sing praise and glorify the One true living God! =)

My great-nephew

What a wonderful day this was! My nephew and his wife welcomed their first born, a son, into the world! He is just perfect in every way and I can not wait to see him grow into a wonderful young man!!

My sister and her husband graduated to Me-Me and Pop and my parents are now GREAT grandparents!! That is shocking!! But we are all so excited and BLESSED to start this new phase in our family!! Wow!!

Promise of Joy:
I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.
1 Samuel 1:27

He surrounded with sooo much love and many prayers!!!

Adorable Family

I am so glad to have finally met this fantastic family! I have heard great things about them- we have several mutual friends- and my husband actually had met the husband through work- but she and I had never crossed paths! But now we have- and I had a great time with them! The children are just adorable- and so sweet! I got an email from the Mom that made my day! She said her 13 year old (the boy) said it was actually pretty fun!! That was such a huge compliment!!! He reminds me so much of my little boy-- who would NEVER say it was fun! haha!! But I think I could have taken their pictures ALL day!

These are just a few of my favorites- there were so many to choose from!! I don't usually get this many group shots that I like- but this family did great!

Thank you guys so much for asking me to help you capture these moments! I had a great time-- and I truly hope this won't be the last time we run across each other!

Promise of Joy:
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
John 3:16-17
This scripture was part of our youth lesson tonight. (As it is every night, essentially =) But we really talked about our belief system and that we need to share our beliefs with others. And I love verse 17-- He does not condemn-- He is here to save freely-- all one has to do is accept the FREE (to you) gift of salvation- paid for by Jesus. Awesome thought!

What a CUTIE!!!!

This little man is so sweet and happy! He was in town visiting his grandparents- and we were fortunate enough to get some sweet pics of him.
He has a brave Daddy fighting for our freedom oversees, so some of these pictures are a tribute and thank you to him.

I had a great time at the bayou-- right between rain showers-- The Lord has truly blessed me EVERY time this summer with the weather! I can't tell you how many times it stopped long enough for me to take pictures!! I am in constant contact with HIM- and He always comes through!! It is defintiely WHO you know!! =) I give Him praise for all that we have been able to accomplish!

Thanks for trusting me with these precious memories!! He is such a sweetie!!

Promise of Joy:
When I left the womb You cradled me; since the moment of birth You've been my God.
Psalm 22:10

I love this verse!! This is how we were DESIGNED! To worship the ONLY GOD- The GOD that created you-- from birth!! And I am so thankful for Godly parents-- like the parents of this precious baby boy that raise their children in this promise!
