Welcome

My eyes have led me down a path I never thought I would take. Although holding on to memories has always been important to me, I haven’t dreamed of being a photographer my whole life. I have, however, dreamed of keeping my kids small and my vacations alive. I have wished to stop time, to hold on to the moment, to bottle up my kids cute faces or the silly things they wear. To some extent, photography allows me to do just that. It has opened my eyes to a previously undiscovered world. It has allowed me to see the world around me with a deeper appreciation. I am constantly aware of the extraordinary among the ordinary and the beauty in the mundane. I don't see pictures. I see stories ... with both my eyes and my heart. I am a wordless storyteller. Thanks for joining me here.

Families!

The fall was FULL of wonderful families to hang out with and capture moments with. I don't normally do blog posts of the family's unless requested, but here are a few shots from this fall. Look HERE to find a quick batch of many more! {Be sure to scroll down past that first header image}




 




Three Handsome Boys [Family]

My husband grew up in a family with 3 boys. I imagine it must be pretty awesome to grow up with two brothers. Probably awesome ~ mixed in with wrestling and strange bodily noises. I am just guessing. Aren't these boys handsome?
 I am also wondering if mom, although outnumbered, is a little spoiled by all these protective men/young men.
 Here is the sweet mamma with her youngest....
...if only we could keep them young for longer...
 See I told you they were handsome...
...and I know these boys.... they are sweet too.Thanks for a beautiful evening walking through the park and capturing memories. Many blessings to your family!

Snips and Snails... [Family]

What a treat to hang out with this family of five! The boys were so well mannered. They wanted so badly to run in the mud and water and chase their dog, but they were so patient. In fact, I should have let them spend more time running and playing and caught them on film that way. Mom and dad you must be very proud of your guys!

I only have one son and he has totally stolen my heart. I cannot imagine what this sweet mom feels like.
 I hope you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It looks like you have much to be thankful for!

Beautiful Fall Day ~ Beautiful Family

What a beautiful day it was to play in the leaves and take family pictures! This was the beautiful, energetic face I was greeted with when I visited this family. Isn't she sweet?
This little one was pretty sweet too...
This guy needed a little help, but he livened up quickly.
(So, I had to include that black and white image to show how even when it seems we can't get a good picture, with a bit of work - we can get plenty. ;).)
 LOVE these pictures below...Can you guess what game they are playing?
Sweetness...
It was so nice to meet your family. Enjoy these little ones - even in the crazy busy days of now, because soon they will be all grown up and instead of chasing them in the leaves, you will be driving them all over and missing these precious days.

Tutus in the Leaves [Family]

As a little girl, could anything be more fun then shuffling through LOTS of leaves in tutus? ;) This mom is a fiend of mine who is just as a beautiful on the inside as on the outside. She has a love and passion for the Lord and people and I feel blessed to call her a friend and sister in Christ. Take a walk through the woods with me to look at some of their images.
Their crew is above and below are pictures of their precious little ones ~ oldest to youngest.
Don't you just love the little guys expression? 
Just LOVE these tutus. Mom made them!
 Thanks for spending the afternoon with me. God bless your sweet family!
