I had an AWESOME time shooting Kelly's bridals this week & couldn't wait to get her a sneak peek up! She gave me complete creative freedom & really rocked it out for me!! I had such a hard time narrowing down this sneak peek because I had so many favorites! Well I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I do...
You know it's going to be a good shoot when it starts out like this!
Gorgeous blue eyes!
I love the 1940's feel to this one...
Too cute :)
Thank you so much for being so great Kelly!!!

Wow! I just spent hours figuring out how to work the back end of my new website.....and it turns out that it was SOOOO easy!!! I don't know if it is the lack of sleep or the fact that I am just THAT computer illiterate....but I finally got Adam and Tabitha's slideshow uploaded. I am absolutely exhausted, so since it is almost 3AM - and I promised to get the slideshow up tonight - I am posting the slideshow now with a blogpost to follow once I get some shut-eye. :) (And more on the new website later....) ;)

I was flooded by emotions this morning as I made preparations to go to Mamie's funeral service. As I sat down to eat a little breakfast I decided to look at Sarah's blog. I think I must check it at least twenty times a day - a part of me hoping somehow I will log on and it will all just go away.....that maybe it all was a dream. I was surprised to see that in the early hours this morning Sarah posted a link to a slideshow she has put together from the photos I took on that very sad day. As I watched the pictures slide and fade in and out on my computer screen, I felt overwhelming grief as I re-lived June 25th. Seeing the pain that Sarah and Taylor feel over the loss of their baby girl and seeing how absolutely perfect she looks I feel angry and confused. How can this happen? Listening to the words to the song Glory, Baby that Sarah so perfectly chose to put with the pictures made me feel encouraged and hopeful. Yes, Heaven is Mamie's home. Yes, we are hurting.... but there is healing. Knowing that Sarah is so proud of these pictures of her baby girl that she wants to share them with the world makes me feel incredibly thankful. Thankful that I have a gift that I can share with those in need. A gift that will truly last and last. A gift that I pray will help lead to healing. What an honor it is to provide memories in the form of pictures to families. This is why I do what I do.
I have complete respect and admiration for Sarah and Taylor for sharing such a painful and vulnerable time with the world. I wanted to share the link to the slideshow with you. To share a blessing. It is very emotional. Very moving. Please lift Taylor and Sarah up in prayer as you watch it. Click here for the slideshow.
As I spent some time in prayer this morning, I read this scripture that really touched me. I wanted to share it.
2 Corinthians 1:3-7(New International Version)
The God of All Comfort
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.6If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.7And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
I am so thankful to serve a God of comfort and healing. Praise Jesus.
Please share loving words with Sarah and Taylor today. It is a very hard day when you have to bury your child. I cannot imagine.
Last week was a rough week. Just very hard. I am a little behind but am working on the slideshow for Adam and Tabitha's wedding from last weekend. It was an amazing wedding filled with so many touching moments. Here is just a peek at....
.....a loving relationship between a mother and her daughter....

....complete adoration....
.....and.......a little craziness!
The complete wedding will be posted very soon! I can't wait to share it with you!

The good news is that our new website is transitioning over. The bad news is that this has put a kink in our emails. Sarah's email is totally down right now and will be for another day or two. My email spent some time down yesterday and last night. Unfortunately, if you contacted me during that time I did not receive it and will not receive it. Please resend whenever you get the chance. Thank you!
