Quote of the day:

"Each photograph is a story captured in a single moment"

Author: M.Lopez


Photography is capturing the extraordinary meaning in each ordinary moment, and weaving these strands together to tell a story – your story - to hold, to share, to remember.

Goodbye 2008

I cant believe that 2008 is almost over. Many great things happened for me & my family this year. I found something that fulfills me {photography} I've poured myself into it this past year and I've grown. Hopefully 2009 will hold more growth for me. My hubby got an awesome job, closer to home with no tax season! How great is that? Our third blessing (our surprise of 2008) was created and is on its way. I've been so blessed.

My goals for 2009~ Grow closer to God, without him I'm nothing. Increase my patience with my children, they are my world. Have a healthy delivery & baby. Finally get this house organized and cleaned out! YARD SALE!! LOL Grow more in my photography & finally build a website. Start running again after the baby is born, and get off all baby weight (that may remain).

I also pray for new beginnings for anyone reading this who needs one (wink). May 2009 bless you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I decided to post a few of my favs from 2008. Enjoy! I LUV comments, so please leave some!

Poll time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I've now entered my 5th month of pregnancy! I had my checkup today & the heartbeat was 150. My ultrasound is Jan 16th & I thought it would be fun to take a poll: How many think its a girl? How many think its a boy? Total weight gain so far, 1 lb.

Poll is located on the right side under the about me section :)

I'll be posting back on the 16th so watch out for the results!!!!!

The photographers prayer

Saw this on a fellow photographers blog: and I loved the words to this.

Dear Lord, as I bring my subject into focus & prepare to make each portrait, never let me forget that I'm creating treasures for a family, a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others, that I may draw out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts.
Help me to be an artist, collecting the beauty of every soul, the glow of youth, the gentleness, the laughter or tears of each life that is precious in Thy sight. Deeper than a means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographer's art as a service to others, making life richer and more memorable.
And, dear Lord, between the lights and shadows, the ups and downs and the rolling years, keep me from getting out of focus or off center, so that my life and work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment. amen.

And, some eye candy.. This is an old one of Trey that I played with today.

{Its the MOST wonderful time of the year}

Just some snapshots of our Tree hunting & our Tree all glowing and beautiful! We got our Tree from the farm in brightwood. (down the road right beside prince michele) The people are very friendly, and you can enjoy a free cup of cocoa, cider or coffee when you purchase your tree! All trees are 27.00 Its a great experience, and the KIDS love it!!!!!

I just love this time of year. Who doesnt?

Kbugs~

My little lady turned 9 on Oct 31st. She is growing up too fast. We joke and say she is a 80 year old woman stuck in a childs body :) Her favorite shows are Little house on the prairie, & Beverly Hillbillies. Hates the color pink...... loves everything green. Her heart belongs to her daddy (I've accepted it now , haha) She hates being in pictures, but loves to take them. She has always been a wonderful blessing to us, and is a great kid.

Happy birthday to Kailey.......... whose growing up way too fast.

News, and update!

Sorry for being such a bad blogger :-( We found out we are expecting baby #3, and I have been pretty sick this time. I havent picked up the camera for over a month. I'm sorry, and hopefully will get back into blogging more often again.

Today I finally felt good enough to attempt pictures for our christmas cards. Here are some that didnt make the final cut for our card. I will not be sharing the chosen picture until all cards have been mailed out.

Thanks for looking!
