Scantling Family

Have you ever met someone and you just know it has everything to do with God...that he just totally brought the two of you together for a reason and while you don't know all the details yet, you know you can trust what he is up to. Well that is how I feel about Lora Scantling. First of all this woman is an amazing photographer whom I admire and respect. She is incredible, so when she facebooked me and asked me to do her family photos, i was totally floored....Like....huh? me? are you sure? LOL....and sure enough....i got the amazing opportunity to shoot her precious family not too long ago. Alot of these photos came my my lens and her heart and soul and I'm so blessed to have been a part of this day with her. I look forward to a beautiful friendship that God has layed before us and she is going to in turn do my family photos after Addalynne is born. I am super excited!!

so, here you go....the Scantling family....

Lora, thank you girl for allowing me to be a part of this special time with you, Kevin and your girls. Love you!!!

Romine Wedding 2010

Bare with me on this post....my photos are a little smaller.....it's still funny how I am trying to figure out blogging......I haven't blogged in sometime....life has just been so busy and with the baby due in 5 weeks.....time is flying by and it's just crazy.

All that being said....I am truly blessed and I am happy to share this blog of the Romine's wedding...these two were married a few months ago in a sweet little church in Lexington, OK...super cute couple and I pray blessings shower their lives every day.

A Meares Family Shoot At The Park

Not too long ago, I took some of my family out to do pictures for my mother-in-law Becky....in these photos you will meet Jeremy and Melissa Meares (brother and sister-in-law), my nephew Jake and nieces Erin and Espyn.....and of course my two handsome boys Josh and Skylar!!

I don't shoot my family much and so this day was really special for me as I got to take pictures of them and I just love that......so to kick it off....you will first see Josh and Skylar.....I love these two boys so much.....

Summer Vacation 2010

We recently took our first ever family vacation. We drove down to Port Aransas, Tx which is down by Padre, Tx. For the first time in my life I saw the ocean, i heard those amazing waves and I thought....wow...God is so good. It was a very special trip for me. I throughly enjoyed my time alone with my two boys...it was so nice to just get away and have some really good quality time...not to mention the spiritual blessing that I experienced while down there. It was just amazing. Here are a few of my favorite photos...some taken with a point and shoot and some with my DSLR....

I love this little man so much....and I pray that as he grows, he grows to love the Lord....I pray Proverbs 22:6...Teach a child the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it....

She is a Princess

I don't really know how else to describe these photos. My friend Deidra Carr looks like an absolute princess. She is a great woman of God, someone I admire, respect and look up to. She counseled me in my darkest moments and filled me with so much love that I am forever grateful. I was so honored to be a part of this special time with her when shooting her bridals.

I love the shoes!!

Deidra, you are an amazing woman!! I am so blessed to call you friend. Love you dearly!!

Wisdom from a child

It wasn't too long ago when Skylar said something and they way he said it made me really take a hard look at myself. We were getting ready for bed and I was so tired and it had been one of those long days and he wasn't moving fast enough...bless his little heart and I raised my voice urging him to do what I wanted him to do and how I wanted him to do it...when in his sweet little Skylar voice he said....mommy you don't have to yell at me....(GULP) He was absolutely right. Sometimes we get so caught up in getting things done or we are so exhausted that we lose sight of those we are taking our frustrations out on. That sweet little boy, more times than not teaches Mommy and Daddy both about how we should parent.

It's so hard to think sometimes that Skylar won't be my only baby for very much longer. Today I try to cherrish our time together, I try to watch my tone with my precious boy, and I relish our alone time together because it won't be too long....and sweet Addalynne Grace will be here....and I will be doubly blessed with 2 precious Souls that the Lord is entrusting me with.

I just love this little man so much....his smile is absolutely priceless....it changes my world every time I see it...and to think that God loves me and Josh so much that he gave us this little boy....I just don't know how I can ever thank him enough, other than to share His love with everyone I come in contact with.

The Dunks Family

I just love this family...They are beautiful, giving, caring, servants, and most of all....they love Jesus!!!

I had such a great time taking pictures of Jay, Megan, and their precious daughter Lindsey not too long ago...here are some of my favorites. ~~Blessings~~

Jay and Megan, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this special day. Love you!!!!
