New parents (birth)
I don't agree to do a lot of babies. I LOVE babies and would have a bunch of them if you didn't have to keep them when they got bigger (just kidding)....but the first bride and groom we took wedding pictures of recently welcomed a new addition to their sweet family. I loved the lifestyle session we did in and around their home. Here are some images from that time together....

Another shot after becoming parents. Looking good you two. Ethan is one lucky little guy ;).

What in the world have I been up to?
Really....four months since my last post??? Photographers with booming businesses are heavily intertwined with social media. I get it. Blogging, twittering, posting on Facebook - those are all musts!
I am not in that world right now.
I love where I am in my business in this stage of life. Sure there are times when I want to dive right in. I see an opportunity and want to put 110% on the line.
But the timing is not right.
And
timing
is
crucial
just
like
in
photography.
There is a time when it is exactly right to close the shutter and capture the perfect shot. Too early or a little too late - still can make a good shot - but not necessarily that perfect shot. A good photographer knows how to anticipate - survey the entire scene, study and understand all of the elements that have to come together compose THE SHOT. Anticipation involves patience, knowledge, a little bit of imagination, plenty of vision - and ultimately ~ it involves action.
For now, my family is my number one priority. That is the biggest job God has entrusted to me - right now. There will come a time - too soon I am sure - when I have less trips to the park, less clothes to wash, less mouths to feed, less books to read aloud, and less homework to help with. Then, I will have more freedom to pursue my own personal interests. Until then, my blog posts are going to be as needed. Maybe a few a week - or maybe a few a quarter. For now, I am okay with that.
If you have hired me to do a shoot for your family, a wedding, or a design project, you can be confident that I will give you my full attention. That is why I am selective and choose to do a limited number of any one of these things each year.
With that said, I haven't posted on my blog in these past few winter months, but I have still been quite busy doing various photography and graphic design projects! Many times, these things aren't what I want to share with the Internet world or would feel completely appropriate. For example, I had the marvelous privilege of taking pictures at a birth towards the end of the year and have wanted to respect the privacy and intimacy of that special family. I am excited to do a short post in the next week or two about that experience and to share some of the beautiful images. I also had the privilege of taking pictures at a beautiful event for a dear family friend who is battling brain cancer in which almost 700 people attended. Again, not images I would share on a blog like this. However also during these last few months, I have LOVED a few down weeks of time with my most important priority - my family and beautiful kiddos! Here are just a few pictures of some of the things I have done photography-wise...

Family Reunions...
One of two tween birthday parties...
A basketball league...
My three favorite kids in the whole world ;)...
Blessings!
Baby Karis [Baby + Family]
Don't you just love the name Karis? It means grace ~ elegance or beauty of form; moral strength and the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God.
A momma's love...
It is for such a short period that they curl up their soft and sweet little bodies to sleep on your chest. And oh you want to snuggle them like that forever.
Karis, may you walk in grace for all of your life.
Kelsey [Baby + Family]
This was such a sweet family to photograph. They were so humble and loving.
This little one was so sweet ~ I don't remember her crying even once. Look at these big beautiful eyes...
Mom and Dad, savor every little moment with her because one day you will wake up and realize she isn't a little baby anymore and you will wonder how it could have possibly gone by so quickly??? Thanks for letting me get some baby time and capture some images of your family! To see a few more, visit my Facebook page HERE.

Oh, who doesn't love the soft skin or a newborn??? Or the way they scrunch up their little faces and curl all up in a ball....or those squeaky little noises they make every so often....or the way they snuggle right up into your chest and sleep.....After having two boys, a good friend of mine welcomed a little girl into the world and it was such a joy to capture some precious images of her.
Enjoy your sweet little one dear friend!
So let me tell you how sweet her older boys are. While I was snapping a few shots, they were building this out of dominoes...seriously.
Enjoy your sweet little one dear friend!
