Spring Mini-Sessions


Please contact me if you are interested in scheduling a time in March for a session. This is the perfect time and the perfect weather to update your family picture. I've been out and about scouting out fun places for pictures in case you need suggestions. {The Spring Mini-Sessions will be on-location.}
Take advantage of this great deal!

Motivation for Monday!


Proverbs 8:17~ I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.

Have you ever had a spell of time go by when you felt like God was not near, or maybe that God seemed to be silent? I sure have. This time seems to be never ending when you are in the midst of it. When these times come upon me I like to stop whatever I am doing and go back to creation. Creation? Yes, that's right. Get close to something the Lord has created. Nature is a perfect place to start and take your Bible with you. Sit still and observe. It is amazing how God will show up. Be encouraged today friend. God is always with you. He will never leave you or forsake you. He loves you. I hope you have a blessed Monday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

McKenzie



I love playdates, especially when we all get to play. While the big brothers played choo-choo trains, cars, and planes, I got to take out my camera and shoot a couple of quick pics of this precious baby girl. She belongs to my friend, Ashley. McKenzie is 5 months old. I had purchased a vintage headband from a photo prop vendor a couple weeks ago. Since I have boys, I rely on my friend's who have girls so that we can play dress up with my photo props. I love it; don't you. McKenzie rocks this vintage headband in such a sweet way. Thanks, Ashley, for allowing me to use your little girl as my model today. We always have fun with you at your house. Thank you also for the yummy coffee and good conversation. Love Ya!

Hali & Brett {Engaged}






A beautiful Saturday afternoon for an engagement session! Meet Hali & Brett. What a sweet couple with some good chemistry...sigh! Brett is my friend Christelle's brother. Today was my first time meeting his lovely bride-to-be Hali. Their big day is in October, which is such a pretty time to get married. Hali & Brett had me cracking up. They mentioned that they practiced their photo posing before I arrived, but then they wouldn't show me their tush-to-tush pose. Well anyway, I hope you like what I came up with here. It was so fun photographing you guys. Best wishes to you for a blessed marriage and a Happily Ever After!
