I know this is a little late Thanksgiving posting, but I guess you should give thanks everyday.  I want to thank God for the gift of photography.  Sometimes I wonder if God takes pictures of me to put up in that mansion He is building.  Little memories from my time on earth.  I pray that if He does that He finds something worth photographing.  Wouldn't that be cool for God to frame the best pictures up on our heavenly abode.  May I live a life that honors Him and brings a smile to His face.

I also want to thank the people that have allowed me to photograph them and have been nothing but encouraging of the little I have to offer them.  Here are a few of my favorite shots I have been blessed to capture.

A little before and after pixie dust action

Sweet Em pretending to water the flowers

Now here is a little pixie dust.  My first time to try to do this kind of effect.  I think I need a little more practice, but for now I call it pixie dust showers.

I love parties.  And our friends the Harrells really know how to throw a good kids birthday party.  I was glad to let them enjoy it again and again through their pictures.   I love this moment caught in camera of Emmy enjoying her birthday cake.  A sweet and spontaneous moment frozen in time.

I had seen a picture on a photoblog of a family posing on a step ladder and thought it would be cool to have that and use it for a picture.  Little did I know that a friend's neighbor would have one in their backyard where we did our last photoshoot.  Loving this picture.

I love love. And I love photographing love.  The Bible says that "God is love."  And walking with Him is walking in love.  Tim and I had the honor of photographing this sweet family and got so many lovely pictures of them.  They sure made our job easy.  I know your children will cherish this photo of sweet love.

I am super excited to share these pictures.  They are of our lovely friends Curt and Candice.  This was a fun photoshoot that Candice planned to celebrate five years of marriage.  We are proud to call you friends.  We pray God's richest blessings for you today and all your days to come.  This is just the first series.  Storyboard pictures to come.
