Photography...how do I love thee?

*Preserves memories for generations to come

*To share memories with others

*It's an art

*It's random

*Shows the complexity yet awesomeness of God's creation

Probably my favorite type of photography is random shots of normal, every day life.  Some of my best shots have been where the subject has not been posed--it's natural, not fake, it's genuine, not fabricated.

I love shots that will evoke an emotion that makes the saying "it's worth a thousand words" ring true.

Finally, I love photography because it reminds me of people I've known and loved, place I've been (and will never return) and just how "lucky" we are to be able to preserve those memories with a simple paper picture!

Meet the Childers Family!

Oh my! It was such a hot and muggy day when we met at Glencairn Gardens!  But, take a look see!  A beautiful family that has experienced God's Blessings! Aren't the children adorable?  Jeff and Carrie had not had their pictures taken since their daughter was born, so we snapped a few of just the two of them. 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget that school has started and now is the time to schedule those "back to school" pictures!

A College Student and A Kindergarten Student!

I can hardly believe it myself!  I'm now mom to a College Student and a Kindergarten Student!

My son will start at the University of Cincinnati in a few weeks.  His major is Criminal Justice with an emphasis in Forensics.

My daughter started Kindergarten 2 weeks ago via A Beka Homeschool Academy. 

Where does the time go?  

Just wanted to show them off.  My kids see me with my camera all the time..and usually it's "mom, not again"!  But, I love them and want to show them off to you! I've truly experienced God's Blessings! 

Meet Stephanie a 2010 senior!

A quick visit to SC turned into a fun time at the park taking Stephanie's senior pictures! It was hot and muggy, but it was also perfect conditions for photographing outside! I've known Stephanie for quite a while and was happy to take her pics! Isn't she just beautiful???!!!!

May God's richest blessings be upon you Stephanie as you graduate from high school and then go to Crown College in Powell, TN in the fall!

Meet my son--Timothy--a SENIOR!

It's so hard for me to get past the fact that my son will be graduating from high school in just about a month from now. He's been homeschooled for 8 years utilizing the Abeka DVD program. He's a smart kid, sold out to God and is willing to do whatever God has for him. What more could a mom want? :D

You may or may not know that Tim LOVES his trumpet. God has gifted him with not only being able to play the trumpet but also to sing.
I though this picture turned out good--so we posted it as well.

The announcement is for all of my friends and "fellow" bloggers out there! You are officially invited :D

God has been so good to me and I'm so thankful that God chose me to be his mom!
I Samuel 1:27-28
"For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD."

Rachel's a SENIOR!!

Meet Rachel! I have the honor of being her Aunt! She's a missionary kid and certainly misses her second home of Osasco, Brazil! Rachel has been homeschooled via the ABeka Academy DVD program and is getting ready to graduate!

Graduation is May 15, 2010~on the campus of Pensacola Christian College.

Hope you enjoyed meeting my niece! She's a wonderful young lady and I know that God has super big plans for her!

Meet the Werts Family!

I so appreciate referrals! I met this family through another customer--and I'm so glad to have been able to meet the Werts family!

I really like the way this collage turned out!

I really enjoy doing "extra's" on my pictures. In this instance color popping certain areas of the picture really brings out the red in the hat and the blue in their eyes!

Mom and Dad even posed for a few! Thanks for the session guys! I really enjoyed it!
