From our Family to yours/ Merry Christmas!

Our family wishes you bountiful blessings during this holiday season and into the new year! Merry Christmas!!  Joy to the World, the Lord has Come!

The next one below is a request from my 2nd Mom... she wanted an image of the kids in their Christmas outfits... 

Good Morning Sunshine

I admit it... I am lazy in the morning.  It takes me a while to fully wake up from a good nights slumber.  And I love to lay around cozy in bed while I do slowly wake up.  But, my kids rarely let me do that.  They are up and at 'em at the crack of dawn.  When the first rays of sun come peeking through the window, they are up and hungry and thirsty and needing this or that. 

 I secretly love when they come bounding in bed to snuggle up for a minute or two.  It is in these moments when I can count my blessings, just before another busy day begins and I have to  start thinking about all the things that need to get done that day.  Blessings.. here are one, two and three!!  And what beautiful light, that early morning light!

Baby James

Babies are such a wonderful blessing.  You might remember the recent post I made of the Freed Family, while mom was pregnant... well, here is the Freed's newest blessing, baby James.  He is here!  Thank you for allowing me to come into your home again to photograph your precious, amazing, beautiful family! 

Recent Landscapes/ Psalm 19:1

"The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands." Psalm 19:1    When I first started photographing, I was always drawn to landscapes. I was intrigued by the way light played on particular parts of the whole, making something otherwise ordinary become something extraordinary. I find myself equally interested in photographing people now, if not more so, but landscapes will always hold a special place in my heart. It is in the middle of the woods where I feel like I am most walking in the presence of the Lord and that He is showing me these tiny secret spaces of His handiwork.  It is amazing to me too that all these images have different feels to them, yet they all were taken in a 2 mile circumference around a lake!
