Veterans Day Events

I was asked to photograph some of the events from Veterans Day and even though this was two weeks ago, I've been meaning to put the images on the blog. Veterans Day is very important to me and I can't thank the men and women in uniform enough for all they do. My heart was heavy as I couldn't help but think of my brother all day long, not that I don't think of him all day long already. Some days just hit me so much harder than I ever expect and this happened to be one of them. I felt like and emotional mess the entire weekend. But, the events were nice and great to attend. Thank you to all of our service members.. past, present and future! We love and appreciate you!!

Survivor

4 years ago today, our son, Montana was diagnosed with cancer. The details remain vivid from that single phone call that changed our entire future. We spent the next months at St. Jude finding out the details, new vocabulary, medications, and new friends. Nothing was ever the same and it will never be the same. We are forever changed by that one little word.. leukemia. Today he is a healthy and happy 6 yr old. with two little sisters. He loves swimming, art and eating. We are so thankful to everyone who has helped us along the way. Those of you ho have prayed for him and for us, who have sent cards and gifts, who have stood by us as we cried, laughed and worried. We are so thankful for a God who has allowed our son to live more years on this earth. It definitely was not easy, but we are thankful he is living. Amen.

Colonial Williamsburg Engagement Photographer

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting this lovely couple in Colonial Williamsburg. She is going to school at William and Mary to finish her PHD and he works as an Engineer. They are one of the sweetest and kindest couples I have ever met. The weather was perfect as we walked around and scouted out locations for places to shoot. It was the leaves and the colors we were after. I do believe we were blessed with perfect timing.

sun and love

What a wonderful couple I was able to meet this past weekend. They were fun, loving, and sweet. The weather was perfect, the sun was bright and their love for one another was real. They will be getting married next summer in Yorktown which I'm sure is going to be an amazing event.

Christmas Card Sessions

I know it's hard to believe but it's time to think about Christmas photos and Christmas cards. When you actually think about it, there really isn't much time left. I have so much to do myself with planning for the holidays that right now I'm just not going to think about it. :) I'm still playing catch up on so many other things as well as working on other new projects that Christmas time just doesn't feel here yet. But, it is and I need to kick myself into high gear. I'm having a time slot for mini Christmas sessions with the Info listed below. If you have any questions please email me!

70+ yrs old but brand new

This dress is 70+ years old. It was worn by my grandmother when she was 3 and was hand stitched. It comes straight from the heart of Germany during the WWII era. I love it. I just received it and knew that it would be getting in a photo session soon. I'm so thankful it fit my oldest daughter (3) and then it will get to be in another shoot with my other daughter as soon as she fits into it. However, it will NOT be worn as a daily clothing item. No way! Not the way my kiddos play in the backyard with mud and sticks and bikes. uh uh. I'm also thankful that my girls love to have their photos taken. That's the dream come true for a photographer!! :) It makes me happy to know that they let me capture them as they are and when we play dress up! Here is Kenna in the precious dress.
