Pray for Madi!

Please keep Madi in your prayers! Melissa has been living in Guatemala, waiting to bring her home for four years! Right now Madi is in the hospital with a ruptured appendix, but cannot receive an operation due to infection and swelling....please pray that the antibiotics would help to fight off the infection so that they can operate. Also pray for her dear parents Scott and Melissa.

Introducing....

Ok I had the priviledge of photographing TWO very very special families today. They are two families who go to my church and work in the youth group. One you will hear about very soon (sorry Swinfords there are SO many photos to go through and I want to see all the options before I put up your preview), the other family is the one you will see below.
They have been and are such an encouragment in my life, they have set an example in numerous ways, they live a life of servant hood like nothing I have ever seen, and they are the most real, authentic people to be around.....
I am constantly learning and being challenged just by watching them live their lives. You see, Aaron is the youth pastor at our church and his gorgeous wife Caroline is also one of the leaders for the youth....these people don't just lead youth on Wednesday night though...they literally LIVE youth ministry...and they're good at it. It has been awesome getting to work with them and I was so excited when they asked if I could grab a couple (or lots) of photos of them. Plus they were super easy and took no directing and if you know me that is my ideal photo session :)
Ok, without further ado: The adorable Nebrija Fam

Sweet Fall Strawberry

Oh my sweet girl is getting so grown up!!!! It's so weird to see her sitting up, crawling, standing...where does the time go. Anyway we had a fun little evening of taking some first Halloween pictures and some fun fall pictures.



Is she not just the most adorable thing ever? I mean, a chunky little strawberry? too much

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

Start scheduling your family photos now! It may be 80 degrees here right now but, don't be deceived, Christmas will be here before you know it.

Beginnings of Fall

Sorry it took so long to get these up....my goodness life is passing me by like a tornado and I just can't seem to keep up. Anyway, I put lots up so you had more to enjoy while you wait for your CD in the mail. This was such a fun family to work with....I mean easiest kids ever...I never had to give any direction I pretty much just followed them with my camera, which is what I love to do :)

Haiti

Well I'm back from Haiti and just hit the ground running trying to stay caught up with editing and scheduling sessions....I'll have a preview of an adorable family up soon..still working through the file, but thought I would post a little something different this time....here is a look into what I spent my week in Haiti doing...
