Merry Christmas!

Sadness...

Our family has seen so much death. Another precious person is leaving us tonight. I'm sure he is being welcomed into Heaven by a wife, a grand-daughter, parents, other family members, and many, many friends. It's hard for us to see him go though.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Matthew 5:4

It's been a long time...

I haven't blogged in forever. I *love* photography but I don't ever want it to feel like a job rather than a passion/hobby. So, I took some time away from the blog/photography to allow myself to enjoy it again. But now I have a lot of catching up to do! So first up is a ferris wheel. I will never get on one but I love to photograph them!

Happy Birthday Isaiah

I had the honor of photographing this little guys first birthday party! He was such a sweetheart and a doll! And he completely devoured the cake!

Desposito Family

Oh my goodness! This session was so fun and artistic! Great lighting, awesome background (loved the graphiti), and a beautiful family! Here are some of my favorites:

Abel Wedding!

Thank you Chad and Kristen for letting me share your special day! Beautiful couple and beautiful wedding!

Reis Wedding

I love going to weddings! But I especially love going to weddings of friends! I had such a wonderful time sharing this special day with Lisa, Steve, and their families. I could feel the love abounding throughout their celebration! Enjoy this little sneak peak Lisa and Steve!

My cherry-willow tree

These photos are of the grafted on willow part of my cherry tree! These blooms are gorgeous but they don't last very long at all!
