Cousins!







Ready, set, smile! There is a lot of love in this family. The mothers of these fine looking children are sisters and both serve at our church. I am very blessed to have taken care of all their children from one time or another during church functions. All the kids were good sports for Mrs. Karrie today. We met at Wesleyan College. Although it had rained the past 2 days, the over casted sky set a perfect color palette for pictures. I won't give too much away since these precious moments will be a surprise to grandparents. So, I hope you like the sneak peek. It was a joy to capture your children this afternoon. Blessings! Love In Him, Karrie

The Reeves Family









Today I had the pleasure of sharing special moments with the Reeves Family. Emma Grace is in my MMO class; she is just too precious for words. Emma just became a big sister. Three weeks ago the Reeves' welcomed Olivia to their family. Olivia is a beautiful newborn baby girl. I was welcomed this afternoon into their home to take some Christmas and Newborn pictures. The Christmas tree was up and lovely scented candles filled the air while Holiday music played in the background. I was instantly swept into the Christmas spirit. Thank you so much for inviting into your home to take your pictures. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek. I can't wait to edit the rest. Blessings to you all.

In His Love, Karrie

Little Miss Ellie!









This afternoon I had the privilege to photograph Ellie and her lovely parents, Jennifer & Brian. This little girl was precious in her bell-bottom pants sporting the traditional Christmas colors, red & green. The idea was for us to meet and get photos of the family for a Christmas picture and then get some cute 1 year shots with the sweet birthday outfit her mama picked out for her. Well, Ellie had never been to Washington Park before, so she wanted to explore independently. I don't blame her; it's a very pretty place with lots to see. Thanks to Ellie's Aunt B for coming along to help. We managed to get a few photos for the Holidays, but I think we're going to reschedule out date for the birthday shots. So stay tuned for more photos of sweet Ellie. She is sure to rock the next session :) Hope you and your family enjoy the small sneak peek.
In His Love, Karrie

Bethany & Tim







This post is so special to me. Bethany & Tim brought their dogs, Belle & Buddy, along for their Holiday pictures. We met on Sunday afternoon at Wesleyan College. What a beautiful day it was, perfect for pictures. This was a session full of laughter and love. Belle & Buddy were so well behaved, but they sure had us laughing. A couple of times Tim had to tackle Belle to get her to sit. Belle also showed us her Houdini trick by maneuvering out of her leash when she was tied up. Clever dogs those two. There is no mistaking the love that Tim & Bethany share when they look at each other. They have something new and exciting to be thankful for this Holiday season; they are going to be parents. What a joy! I hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek. Sorry it took so long. I will let you know when I have the rest of the photos up. Blessings to you both!
In His Love, Karrie
