SMALL BLESSINGS............

There is a George Strait song that I just cannot get out of my head today.  It's a beautiful song named "I Saw God Today".  That is exactly what I saw at 9:52pm on Saturday, September 27.  I was so blessed to have been called to do a session for NILMDTS , which is a wonderful organization that as a photographer I belong to.  I was called at 8:30pm to rush to the hospital because a beautiful baby girl would be born and because the baby had been diagnosed in the womb with Trisomy 18, the family was unsure if this sweet little baby girl would be born alive or live long after she was born.  As I watched this beautiful baby enter this world, I could not keep my composure.  How did I get so lucky as to be present during this miracle?  Little Darcy Anne was the most beautiful little angel that I had ever seen. She was just perfect.

As I photographed this wonderful, humble family, I could not help but thank my Heavenly Father for allowing me this opportunity to serve.  My life will be forever touched by you little Darcy Anne. Thank you.

 

MY NEPHEW CHANDLER...........

How can it be that my nephew, that I watched enter this world is leaving for college in 3 weeks?  I was so lucky to be in the delivery room with my sister and I am always "reminding" him that I was the very first person that got to carry him.  The minute I laid eyes on him I was in love and I new that he would bring much love and happiness to our family.  He was one of the most beautiful babies that I had ever seen, with lots of hair and big blue eyes.

I spoke with my sister today and as the time gets closer to taking him to Texas Tech, her heart is becoming heavier.  Watching your child leave for college is bittersweet.  On one hand your so proud and the other it's so hard to let go. 

We are so proud of you Chandler and you have been one of the True blessings to our family.

I love you!!

AS PROMISED......

Here are more of my kiddos!  The summer has really gone by fast this year, it's strange to already see Christmas decorations in the stores!!  How quickly it reminds me that Christmas is just around the corner.

I am working on a few new things at this time- my new brochures just arrived from the printer, so I have a new price list (no, prices did not go up!)  And I'm working on my brand new website- that should be launching in the next couple of weeks.

Here are a few more pictures of my sweet nieces and nephews.  It's amazing how fast they are growing up.

MORE OF MY KIDDO'S!.......

As promised, here are more of my precious children.  It's amazing where you can find a good place to take a picture!  This particular location was where my nieces and nephews were catching turtles, but when I saw the fences and bridges I knew that I had to do their pictures there.  I've only edited a few, but I will post more later.

MY PRECIOUS GREAT NIECE.........

I can't begin to tell you how fast time is flying by.  I have had many changes in my life lately, and at this time I'm trying to understand and embrace these changes.  For those that know me, change is hard for me (I would probably still wear the same makeup that I wore in High School if they still made it!! :)) My sisters are constantly reminding me that change doesn't have to be a bad thing, so that's why I'm trying to embrace this time in my life and find my heart again.  So needless to say, I am restructuring my business, so please be patient during this time.  In the meantime,  I've taken more time to take pictures of all of the many children in my life. I'm getting back to what made me love photography in the first place.  This is my Great Niece Delaney.  I just love these unplanned, candid shots- the ones that you catch when you least expect it, the ones that you capure when you haven't even planned to take a picture.  She is such a little stinker!!  I do have other pictures to post, but I'm traveling right now and only have my laptop- so I will post more when I get home.

I LOVE BOTH OF THESE ANGELS!......

It's been a crazy week!  Between surviving a horrible storm, and then getting sick, I think that I'm back in full force.  I have so many pictures to post, but the following ones are very dear to my heart.  This young woman came into my life about 6 years ago.  I fell in love with her from the beginning. I have watched her blossom from a young girl, to a beautiful young woman, and now to a beautiful mother.  What a blessing she's been in my life.

As a lover of words and quotes, I came across this quote the other day and loved it:

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bank rolls smaller, homes happier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living.~Author Unknown

 

PLAYING CATCH UP........

As promised here are a few more recent pic's.  These pictures are of my precious niece and nephew.  I decided not to do another spring bluebonnet picture, so we headed to the Stockyards.  The day was extremely windy and a little sunny, but we caught a few pictures.  We will be headed back out there in the next week or so for another attempt.  There is so much of my family history at the Fort Worth Stockyards, which make it even more special.

To the outside world we all grow old.  But not to brothers and sisters.  We know each other as we always were.  We know each other's hearts.  We share private family jokes.  We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys.  We live outside the touch of time.

HELLO EVERYONE!!.........

I cannot believe that it has been a month since I made a post- time has really flown by!  As promised I need to show some pictures of some recent babies.  Oh, how I love babies. 

The first little stinker came early- I was so glad that I was home to capture his "brand new" pictures.

A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it.

OKAY- THIS IS THE DEAL!...........

I am getting ready to launch my new High School Senior website and I've decided to give away several free sessions. 

If you are an '08 senior or an '09 senior I will be giving away 4 sessions with no sitting fee and I will also give you a $150.00 print credit.  Not too shabby! 

I will give this away to the first 4 seniors that e-mail me.  Be sure and include your phone number so I can call and set up your session.

On another note- I have some beautiful images to post, but I am out of town and do not have them with me. So check back in a few days!

This is a great opportunity for those '08 procrastinators!
