here. together. happy

there was a quote that caught quite the attention from a lot of my photography friends the other day on facebook. It originated with a photographer and was passed around with permission. It's one that makes you think.

"If you have not had family pictures taken within the past 3 years, promise me right now that tomorrow morning, you will find someone to do it. I don't care if it's a neighbor, I don't care if it's a portrait studio, I don't care if it's a tripod and a remote. Just do it. We have no guarantees in life, but at least we can have the photos to prove that we were here, we were together, and we were happy."


It made me think of this family

you see, a few days after booking this session, she was admitted to the hospital.

a few days after that, they heard the words that noone wants to hear
about their mom

or their grandma

I can not imagine how hard the next few months and weeks will be

as they fight this battle

but in these few moments,

they were together.

and they were happy

It was an honor to capture these moments for this family. They are in my heart. They are in my prayers

The Heren Family

This family is called. Called to the mission field. It was an honor to photograph them today. And it was great to be out shooting again!

It has been SO long

I hadn't really been shooting much this year. Except for my own personal family events.

But lately, I have been asked to shoot. And I have willingly accepted. And I am having a lot of fun!

I have recently done an Engagement Session with a fun, FUN couple. I am also shooting their wedding in December - Maybe I will still be posting then and I will share some shots with you!

FINALLY!

I say finally for two reasons...

One, I FINALLY got to meet this little guy! He belongs to some great friends of mine from my ***ahem*** twentysomethings days *cough, cough* Mom and dad moved to TN a good while back so hadn't gotten the chance to meet him yet.

and two, I am FINALLY posting these! Sorry for the delay mom & dad!

This little guy is just awesome and I claim that he is a GREAT reader already because he followed all the rules in the the "How To Be a Child" handbook. Especially the chapter on "What to do to when photographed"...lol He avoided eye contact at all cost...but who can blame the kid...he only had eyes for his momma - why would you want to stare at some big black miscellaneous object when you can look at momma? He also choose to save all his cute expressions for off camera...and man I wish I coulda captured just one for you - SOOO adorable!

Nonetheless, he is a gorgeous kid with a FABULOUS name (he and my little man share first names) and I had a fun time with him and with my twentysomething friends!

Enjoy a couple of this cutie!

Meet the Gorgeous Family!

The title says it all...okay well maybe I have more to add. They were so pretty that I just wanted to put the camera down and stare at them... I only did that a couple of times :)

Mom did a FABULOUS job with the outfit choices. Even had a change of clothes in there!

Thanks for coming out Gorgeous Family! I hope you enjoy your preview!

See! Look! Gorgeous! Told you so...
