Stefan and Stephanie Reed's Wedding

Stephanie's Bridals

I had the pleasure of taking bridal portraits for Stephanie Davis (now Reed)....she was so fun to photograph....her love for Jesus shines brightly through....

Reflection

I love this sweet baby girl...

I pray that their paths always lead to HIM...

Sweet Baby Peighton

This is a very special post for me...I will never forget meeting my friend Sarah at LifeChurch.tv, we had this special connection from the very start. I had just found out I was pregnant with Addalynne and she and her husband Charlie had been trying to have a baby for 3 years. They had gone through treatments and for some reason they could not have a baby....they were steps away from trying more treatments so that they could have a baby. We prayed and prayed....she and Charlie saught prayer from our Pastor and I will never forget the day in April that she called and asked me if January 2011 was too soon to schedule newborn pictures. We both laughed and cried because we were so excited....God is so Good....he has blessed Charlie and Sarah with a precious baby girl...her name is Peighton Miranda and she is so sweet and precious. I feel so blessed to be a part of their lives and to have caught their precious moments through my lens. Sarah and I have become great friends through our pregnancies. I truly adore this woman....and I'm so blessed that God has allowed me to have such a friend.

Love you Sarah!!

Thank you Jesus

Sweet baby Peighton

Here are our sweet girls together....best friends from birth....I can't wait to see how they grow up....I just know they are going to love Jesus like crazy!!

Sarah and Charlie, words cannot express how much I love you both and your baby girl....thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this journey with you. Sarah, your friendship means the world to me and I'm so blessed to share such special moments with you. I love you dearly.

You are both wonderful parents. Peighton is a blessed little girl.

Proverbs 22:6

Teach a child the way they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from it.

Bryan and Teri Engaged

I think it's just so sweet how God works....these two have gone to the same church for a while now....and then all of a sudden...BAM!! God brings them together....I have gotten to know these two separately and now together and it's so beautiful to see them together....it's evident in their interactions with each other that this is true love.

Bryan and Teri...thank you for allowing me to be a part of this journey with you....I can't wait till your wedding day. Much love to you both....

Stefan and Stephanie Engaged...

I am super excited about shooting the wedding for Stefan and Stephanie....they are going to be getting married on April 29th of this year. They are such a sweet couple...it's been a pleasure getting to know them and getting to see how God has perfectly constructed their relatioship. This is my first shot at putting a slideshow up so I am excited to see how it turns out......I hope you enjoy their pictures as much as I enjoyed shooting them....

Addalynne Grace Meares

Wow, it's been a while since my last post. Let me see...where should I begin....7 weeks ago on November 9th, God blessed me with sweet Addalynne Grace Meares. She was 2 1/2 weeks early....she weighed 6lbs 12 oz and 19 inches long....and she is absolutely perfect in every way. I thought when I went on maternity leave that I would do all the little photo sessions with her....I had all these fantasies in my head of all these great pictures I would take....and well....lets just say that didn't happen....

I can tell you what did happen and what is still happening as I enjoy this last week with my baby girl....I have done a few pictures....I have not done much house cleaning....I have held....loved....kissed...snuggled....loved some more....kissed lots more....snuggled a ton....and loved loved loved on her...held her and just looked at her....and looked at the beautiful perfect creation that God blessed me with. I do the same when I see Skylar sleeping....my husband sleeping....I can't believe that the creator of the universe has chosen me to be a mother and wife....wow!! I'm so blessed....now don't get me wrong....life is not always roses and perfect....I don't get a ton of sleep....I still get grumpy due to lack of sleep....but I'm only human....what I can say is that I am deeply deeply in love with my family.

So....below you will see this sweet precious little baby girl...that has stolen me out of the blogging world :-) As you look at her....can you blame me for not getting a darn thing done around here....LOL.....she's beautiful....and I can't believe I get to keep her....she is my daughter...and I will do my very best to take care of her just as I will do my best to take care of Skylar and Josh....and I will do it all with God's help because without him....I am nothing....There is nothing I have done or accomplished that I haven't done without him....

So without further a'dew

Here is our first family photo taken by my good friend Creel McFarland.

My baby turns 5!!

I can't believe it's been 5 years....where does the time go? My heart is so humbled by what my life holds.....5 years ago I was blessed with a precious baby boy and I cannot believe he is 5....tears fill my eyes as I realize that my baby is growing up on me and that in less than 10 days he won't be my only baby....God has not just blessed me with one precious baby, but he is blessing me with another and I just can't believe it.....Me?? of all people.....if you know me and you knew my past you would know that I am blown away by these two amazing little miracles....and the second chance that God has given Josh and I to be husband and wife again.....it just blows me away.....

You can ready our story here....

So, I am honored to share with you these pictures of my sweet little boy....he was so excited for mommy to take his birthday pictures and I was so stinkin excited that we had just enough light to make it happen....

I pray that the light in those eyes never fades....

He is such a monkey...i just love this picture....he has such a personality...such a spirit....he makes me smile and laugh....i just love him so much...

if i look close enough....i can still see the baby in the boy....who will one day be a man...and i pray that of all he can grow up to be...i pray he loves Jesus with all his heart...

These next 5 photos were taken from my dear friend Ashley O with my friend DeShawna Willis assisting...they are both amazing photographers and very special friends whom I love dearly...

hmmm, I love this man so much....

butterfly kisses from my precious boy....I wish I could put a brick on his little head to keep him from growing anymore....

Here we are, you see three of us, but there are four :-)....I will share some more maternity soon....but I will wait till little Addalynne arrives....

Joshua, if you are reading this....I love you and thank you so much for blessing me with 2 precious babies....You are an amazing man and I honor you with all my soul...I am so proud of you...

May you all be blessed!!!
