Kandice

One of my favorite things about my love for photography is the way it has connected me with other people.  I have met so many new friends near and far, so many talented people who share my love of the camera, and Kandice is one of those people.  I met her a couple of years ago on a photowalk, and we have remained friends ever since.  She has a wonderful heart, and I was so happy to share in her special day.  More than anything I appreciate her friendship.  Thank you for sharing who you are Kandice.  You are beautiful.

Three Lovelies

I've been soaking up summertime and enjoying as much time with my family as I can.  I've also been photographing some beautiful people.  I met up with these lovely ladies for another pay-it-forward session.  We laughed and talked and did a little catching up.  We decided that the best thing about paying it forward is that it continues to come back around.  In the end your friendships are stronger and that makes doing things like this so worth it.  Aren't these three pretty?

The D Family

What can I say about this beautiful family?  I am so blessed to have them in my life.  To share a friendship with them, to share enormous amounts of laughter with them, and to have shared so much time with them.  They are some of my favorite people in this world, and I consider them family.  It was more than a pleasure to photograph them.  We literally laughed until we cried.  It's just what we do when we spend time together, which is why I love them so much.  

Millie & Company

I had the opportunity to photograph my dear friend with all of her boys and her sweet little girl.  Sweet little Millie stole my heart.  Just take a look at her and you will see why.  Thank you my friend for spending time with me, and for allowing me to capture your family.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is bliss, taste it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.

-Mother Teresa

Life has taught me each of these things, and watching this family who happen to be my very good friends has taught me how true every line of this quote really is.  I just can't thank them enough.  For their friendship, for their courage, for their example, and for allowing me to share a part of their life.  I have been so blessed by being a part of theirs. 

H Family

I had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful family in early September.  Easy to work with, happy to be there together, and so kind to each other.  I think it all shows in their images.

C Family

It was my pleasure to photograph this family.  Such beautiful people, and so fun to be around.  They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.  I believe that.  It seems to be the case in my family, and for this one as well.  I think we appreciate one another when we don't see each other as often as we would like, and this family definitely enjoyed their opportunity to be together on this day.  So glad we could save a few memories from it for them to savor.

I Just Love Them

Love this family.  I just love them.  That's all there is to it.  They are happy, and lovely, and beautiful all at the same time.  They are just such good people, and I am proud to call them my friends.  Thank you for allowing me to capture your family one more time.
