Good Times

First of all I wanted to update you regular readers on little Cora's condition, the last I heard was that she has been taken off the ventilator (praise God!) but now she is fighting a bacterial infection in her blood... She still needs prayer for her continued recovery. Thanks to those of you who have been lifting her up! Second, this week has been full of fun little adventures as two of my younger siblings have been staying with us. Ivy absolutely loves her aunts and uncles (I am number 3 of 9 kids so she has many:) and we have been having a great time with these two! She adores them, can't you tell?:)

Pray for Cora

Sweet little Cora is 4 years old and just a few days ago she had a heart transplant. Here she is with her family in a picture I took at my church on Mother's Day 2011. I recently heard the news that there have been some complications after the surgery and Cora and her family could really use some prayer. Please remember this little girl with me and ask that God would bring healing to her body and peace to every member of the family. We are rooting for you Cora and you are loved!

A Look Back - 2011

Looking back at the past year seems a bit like a blur... It's a good thing I take pictures for a living to help me remember the details:) And speaking of details, the pictures above are from two of the 18 weddings I photographed in 2011. I had the privilege of photographing 18 beautiful bouquets, I got to know 18 love smitten couples, and I experienced 18 unique and lovely ceremonies followed by receptions! Looking back a few years ago I would have never thought I would be doing this in my second full year as a photographer. I am blessed and thankful for each and every bride and groom that chose me to document their big day! I hope that all of these newlyweds have an amazing 1st anniversary in 2012!

All Together

The main reason that the holiday season is the best time of year is because family comes together and the majority of my Christmas sessions are because of that fact. When loved ones are near, pictures are important to remember the times that were shared. This family was doing just that and I hope the memories they made will be remembered when they look at these pictures!

Cute kids!

Aw, they were a sweet bunch:)

This little guy was too fun:)

Luke

For Christmas, Luke's grandma gave his momma a photo session with me and he was so calm and content during our whole shoot! His dad said he is the way he is because he has two spunky older sisters, it's nice that he has chosen to even things out a bit:) I was in awe of his baby blues and overall cuteness:)

I love this next one.

Seriously, look at those eyes!

Mom and dad hopped into a few and thought this was a sweet one to end on!

Sneak Peek

These two welcomed 2012 with a promise to love and honor each other as long as they live. I hope this new year is a glorious one for the newlyweds AND for all of you out there reading this!
