Promises

Although most days I am taking pictures of people…mostly little people, lately I have been trying to take the time to snap a photo or two of something that gave me a little inspiration…a little insight into God’s beauty or a promise that He has given me.   There are so many and the older I get the more I let life get in the way and the promises slip to the back of my mind and yet they are there new every morning…I hope you don’t mind indulging me…

This first one was taken a couple of days ago while I was out scouting with a friend and fellow photographer…I loved the way the sun was peeking over the corn.

This next one was taken at a wedding…this knocker was on the door into the Bride’s dressing room…(speaking of that…look for photos from that wedding this next week I will finally be blogging about it – I got to tag along with my same girlfriend, Erin and second shoot this wedding – so fun!!)

I hope that you have an amazing Sunday!!  I know that I am cherishing the weekends now that my oldest is off to kindergarten during the week!!  We have declared all Friday nights as official “movie nights” – yesterday was our second official one!!  I love just laying on the couch with my hubby and kiddos – even if they are jumping on us throughout the movie.  By the way we started off the night watching “Air Buddies” and my littlest one who is in love with her puppy cousin, Nala (she is a golden retriever puppy belonging to my youngest brother Josh & his wife Becca – she is the cutest ever), thought that she was the star of the show…and repeatedly kept pointing and saying “Nanee” which is what she calls her beloved puppy cousin!  I just loved it!!  Second movie of the night was the “Discovery Channel Shark Week Special”.  I know some of you must be appalled that I would let me two older children watch this scary stuff, but seriously they pick it out and they LOVE it and no they don’t have nightmares from it!!  Most children go to the animated cartoon section at the video store…no mine go to the wildlife/nature section.  I love that they have a love for God’s creation and an interest in what He has made!!  I don’t want to steer them in another direction and it gives us lots of opportunities to share and talk about all sorts of things related to the love of nature and creatures!!

Well, I will leave you with one more image…one of my oldest I took just a couple of days before he started kindergarten (I lost the images of him actually on his first day of school…I will tell you about that later).  He looks so big to me…he told me right before we left for school the first day, “Mom, I am going to miss you so much when I am at school.”  {sigh…tears…”me too buddy”}

Goodnight…Thanks for letting me share a little about me, my life & my family.

It felt like just a couple of weeks ago I was taking this little one’s newborn photos, but he is already 6 months!!  Where does the time go?  This sweet family is always a warm smile and a hug…I LOVE that!  I am yet to see Holden’s mama without her eyes lit up with the joy of life!  I can’t tell you how refreshing that is.  Well, Mr. Holden has gotten so big!  Already sitting up and almost tried to escape on us while laying on his belly in the grass…definitely going to be a mover and a shaker!!  I LOVE all his sweet chubbers, have to enjoy that while we can because he is going to be running in no time and burning it all off!!  :-)

K Family as always it was such a pleasure!  I am so blessed that you have allowed me to be a part of your lives.  Thank you.

I was SO excited to tell you that Holden’s Grandma brought out this adorable rocking chair, but the COOLEST part was that the rocking chair belonged to Priscilla Presley!!!

Fun in the Sun

August 21st, 2009

Back when I did the headshots for the DollyRocker’s girls I also did some shots for ads they would use for advertising this summer.  Here is one of those fun ads.  By the way all the graphic work was done by Meaghan Mitchell.  She is a fabulously talented graphic designer! On another note…if you haven’t [...]

On another note…if you haven’t checked out DollyRockers, you need to!  Despite these girls are beautiful they are so talented, genuine and just sweethearts!!

This ad was used in the July Issue of ImagesAZ

Charlene & Curtis

Life is always full of surprises…like falling in love when you weren’t looking for love.  For Charlene & Curtis that was a pleasant surprise.  A courtship…an engagement…and soon a wedding!!  I met Charlene through a long time family friend who passed my name along.  Charlene has been so gracious & patient as I am just getting this wedding thing going…

They came up to my neck of the woods for a couple of photos for their wedding invitations…I just loved the pretty light coming through as the sun was setting.  Charlene had requested a shot on the railroad tracks to symbolize a new beginning…a new adventure.

I look forward to being there when they say their vows in October…

I love it when I get to meet amazing people doing photography!!  This family was fantastic!!  Mom and Dad are absolutely gorgeous and just the sweetest people to be around!  This little man is blessed with lots of family to love on him!!  I met the family at K’s aunt’s house to start because they actually live up in Show Low…I know be jealous – I was just up there this last week and the weather was AMAZING!!  Preston is getting his share of walks in the beautiful mountain air I am sure!!  Well, we ended up at K’s mom’s house just down the street by the end of the shoot and Preston was a trooper with letting us move him around and going here and there!!  I had such a fantastic time with this family – thank you so much for letting me capture your sweet Preston…what a joy!

Ok, so I have to start with one of my favorite images of the day…sorry Preston, but your mama is GORGEOUS and I have to show her off – how is it possible this woman had a baby a week ago??  Amazing, and I just love the way D is looking at her…
