More Wedding Photos to share

Thought I'd share a few  more... 

Beautiful Young Love.....

I had the joy of photographing a young couple's wedding this June... Chris is an old and very dear friend's son, and his fiance', Elise, was simply charming.  I loved the pure simplicity of this wedding... it was all about their love for eachother and their family... Thanks, guys, for letting me be a part of your day!

Little Snowmen, all in a row....

Glamour at 16....

Pretty sure I'd like to slow the clock down a little bit.  This is my baby.  The youngest of four.  She's turning 16 on Tuesday.  SIXTEEN.  Really?  When did that happen?  I remember the day Mike and I decided we wanted to try to have one more baby.... and the journey to make it happen was not easy.  Pregnancy never came easy for me... but one day God (literally) whispered in my ear that I would hold another one of my own newborns.  I was shocked into silence ....and faith.  And THEN... when I was about 7 months pregnant, I prayed a silly little prayer one day.  Well... not so silly.  It seemed silly at the time and I giggled at myself and kind of apologized to God as I prayed... "if it's at all possible could I have a blonde haired, blue eyed baby?".... God not only answered that silly little prayer, but also one-upped me by starting her eyes blue and changing them to a beautiful green by the time she was two.... oh my goodness.  I know this may all sound quite trivial.  But not to a new baby Christian.  God spoke into my heart that he hears my EVERY prayer.  If he can hear me pray for such a small thing...how much more does he hear my hearts cry for my dearly beloved unsaved family members?  For children being hurt?  For friends I know who are suffering?  Dear God...you are AMAZING...

Enjoy these captures of my beautiful child....and think on how much God loves YOU.....

HO HO HO!

I know you all would enjoy these!

Oh Baby!

What a blessing it is that though I'm far past the age of bearing and raising babies, I still have many opportunities to cuddle, snuggle, and oh, yes, photograph beautiful babies!  Three days old or 14 months old... I love them all!  Here's a peek at my recent endeavors....

I love Bellies!

Some of my favorite sessions are maternity sessions.  Not only do I think pregnant mommies are beautiful, but the idea of the little person inside growing steadily with God's grace and knowing the joy that he/she will bring....ooooh!  Warm fuzzies all over the place!  Here are a few from my last maternity session with Deana and her sweet hubby AJ and their kids.
