A couple of pictures from this weekend's trip...

We went down and saw my father over the weekend. He is doing okay, but not in the best shape. He is ready to go home and I completely understand where he is coming from. I didn't get a lot of play time this weekend with the new camera, but I did manage to get a couple of shots. The first one is of a base ball American flag that we saw in a Red Robin restaurant and the other is Tommy looking out the back door wishing it wasn't so cold out side. I'll post more exploring pictures as the week progresses and I continue to play.

Take my picture.... PLEASE !!!

I had a portrait session tonight and as always when I lug out the light studio equipment Tommy begs to have his picture taken. Mind you tonight he wanted a "tough" look. I think we achieved something....cute :)

I also posted a sample pic from tonight's portrait session. Enjoy!

I'm SOOO excited

I am getting my new toy in the mail on Friday - Its Canon's latest release the 50D! I've worked REALLY hard to save to get this camera and I can't wait to spend next week taking pictures with it. Look for the updates over the next couple of weeks. I'm going to be having a blast!!!

Couldn't Resist...

I just wanted to share a few more photos from Niki and Lawrence's Wedding. As usual I am working on their album and finding myself having a difficult time choosing what photos to use. So many beautiful pictures!

Katherine's Photo Shoot

Its been a busy weekend but a successful one! I wanted to share a few images from a photo shoot I did last weekend. We took these shots at a horse barn and didn't have a lot of props, but I am very satisfied with the results.

Hope everyone has a great week! Enjoy!

Niki and Lawrence's Pictures are Complete

With so much sickness running around in my family, voting, Halloween and work its been a challenge to complete this wedding, but happily the photo editing is complete. I thought I'd share another photo with everyone to celebrate. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'll be working on building wedding albums :)

Just a Thought that Stuck My Mind Tonight...

I think one of the advantages of doing wedding photography is that you find yourself in situations where the presence of God is very strong. I don't feel this way at every wedding, but those that are built around God and set the foundation of marriage as it was intended to be set you defiantly feel an en ate presence. There has been a lot of things on my mind lately - the election, the economy, my job and my future, but when I pray I hear that calming voice in my ear whispering - Do not fear - I have a plan - Trust me - I won't let you fall. I believe that fully, but the mortal side of me sometimes trembles and makes me feel panicked. I know many of you feel the same way and I pray that you can rest in the same comfort that I do every night - That He has me in the palm of His hand and He knows my worries, but He has a plan. I also find it funny how my studies of scripture seem to always point out the answers that I need at that point in my life. He always finds a way to show me the right path.

I was editing pictures tonight (surprise!) and this picture of this couple praying really pulled at my heart strings. When we have nothing we always have prayer. We always have God. He has been there to listen from the beginning and He will be there to listen to the end. There is an urgency like never before now to lean on him - to pray - to get back to our foundations and trust in Him like never before. We will find our answers and our comfort in prayer and the study of His word. God Bless you all!
