I have a soft spot in my heart for those who are required to travel down paths in life that make the rest of us weep with frustration and anger, while at the same time turning our faces up to God in prayer.    One of the ways I’ve been able to bring a small token of comfort […]

    Jennifer – this is a beautiful set of images. The family photo is fantastic, and the image of Athena and her daughter, lying with head in her mother’s lap, is AMAZING. What a lovely way to mark this moment of their journey. You have a gift, and I love that you share it, and your vision, with others. Fantastic.ReplyCancel

For the past several weeks, my 16-year old daughter, Hailey, has been preparing for Prom. This may sound like a perfectly natural sentence to most, but to anyone that knows Hailey, Ms. Never-wears-dresses-Hates-shopping-&-Just-wants-to-ride-her-horse, she’s pretty much a tom-boy through-and-through.  As her mom, one would think that I would be excited about the flurry of shopping that […]

    Thank you so much for allowing me to take the girly roll, you know how much I love it! I was so happy to be a part of something so special to Hailey and everyone, thanks for the recognition and blog! I can’t wait to do it again! That is with your permission of course. Regardless of anything no one would be able to marvel at Hailey’s beauty without the best photographer around!
    It was such a fun time and I loved every minute of it! Regan has already notified me that she better receive the same treatment, so get ready you have another milestone coming and I will be happy to be the girly girl for Ray as well! You handled it like a true loving mother!

    XOXO,
    EricaReplyCancel
