The Downs Family | Family Portrait

DateTuesday, February 16, 2010 at 7:18AM

This. family. is. awesome. Seriously.

I met them through my parents at their church. Right away, whenever they all gathered together, I knew that it was going to be an awesome time, as this family is really beautiful. And I'm not just talking about outer beauty (as they are all very beautiful in that way as well) but the beauty that radiates from their hearts is just so encouraging and..well...beautiful. :)

I had never photographed this many people for a family portrait before and it was SO much fun! I hope that you enjoy these pictures just as much as I enjoyed taking them.

 

What an adorable kiddo! I love babies! :) 

 

Thanks for looking! I hope that you have an amazing week.

I'll hopefully be posting a few more shoots on here within the next two weeks before we leave to go overseas. Be watching out for them!

Also, I hope to post pictures from our adventures overseas. I won't be, at this point, saying where I'm going - that info is simply FYI, also meaning that if you know where we're going, please don't mention it at this point on the blog.

Please leave some comments below - I'd love to hear from who is looking through this blog!

My Favorite Things | GAMES!

DateFriday, January 29, 2010 at 8:17AM

One of my favorite things to do is play games - not just any games, but specifically board games.

One game in particular that we got for Christmas was called, "Killer Bunnies." 

It's not your typical game. There are tons of rules upfront, but once you get them down it is SO much fun. Some friends introduced us to the game last year and we loved it so much that we decided to ask to receive it for Christmas.  

And then we got my mom hooked! :) 

So, I think everytime we go now, we will be play Killer Bunnies together. It's just too fun NOT to play!! 

So, if you are ever in the mood to splurge and just get a great game, get this one! It is loads of fun! :)

 

Happy Friday! Have a GREAT weekend!

Deitz Family/Shannon Headshots | Family/Business Portrait

DateWednesday, January 27, 2010 at 2:34PM

The Deitz family is actually my husband's family. It was such an encouragement when Shannon first messaged me asking me to do her headshots.

Shannon is an inspirational speaker and travels all around speaking about different topics. I actually haven't heard her speak, but I know that she has a huge passion for people living free in Jesus and being released from hurts, habits and hang ups. She is a very authentic person who strives to live her life in the freedom that Jesus can give a person. You can check out her website here.

Since she is releasing a new book soon (CONGRATS SHANNON!) she asked me to do some new headshots of her to put on the back cover. How exciting! I can't wait to read the book.

After we did some of her headshots, we had the family come together for a few pictures. It was such a joy to hang out with them. I really love being a part of Josh's family.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot!

This next one was BY FAR my favorite of the shoot. Shannon - YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! :)  

Now onto the family picures!

Thanks for looking - Leave the Deitz Family some love in the comment section below!

The Hartsfield Family | Family Portrait - Holiday Portrait

DateFriday, December 18, 2009 at 12:01PM

I first met Janelle at the church I went to while I was in college. It's hard not to want to get to know Janelle, as she is such a sweetheart. I know many people who would agree with me!

Later on, after Josh and I moved and began going to a different church, I kept up with her through her blog and watched her daughter grow up. She is the most beautiful little girl ever. That's the great things about blogs and online social networks. You can keep up with people that you could easily lose contact with when you move.

Anyways, Janelle messaged me on facebook a few weeks ago and we set up a time in the frigid cold to do a short session of her family. They were very brave. They kept telling Ella, "We're almost done!" (even though all of us knew that we still had about the entire shoot left as we just started!). It was cute.

  

I just LOVE this picture of Ella. She is so cute. 

 

Have a GREAT weekend!!

The Hall Family | Family Session

DateTuesday, December 15, 2009 at 12:00PM

Meet the Hall/Hammon family. I LOVE this family very much. They are all very dear to my heart.

I first met the Hammon's through Apartment Life/CARES through our church. After first meeting the Hammon's there, I ended up working full time at the place where Chase worked. Pretty crazy - It's a small world after all! :)

I later met Elizabeth's Mom, Kim, through different circumstances and events, as well as Elizabeth's sisters.

Kim contacted me not too long ago wanting to get some pictures of her and her grandbabies. They were all so cute - and cranky. :) I'm not going to lie, they all needed a nap! I think everyone would agree. They cried a lot - but it made for some fun pictures!! :)

I unfortunately cannot post any of the Hammon's children because of certain laws (they are foster parents). It was really hard not posting them because their kiddo's are so cute, but, I have to obey the law. Just FYI. :)

Anyways, without further adieu, here is this beautiful family!!

These next few pictures are so cute of Martin. He really liked his teddy bear, that's for sure. 

I love this couple! They are amazing - and very inspiring. I love their hearts. :) 

I love the quilt shots! Unfortunately I can't post the pictures of the Hammon's with their kiddos in the quilt, but trust me, it's really adorable!! 

 

By the way, that quilt that you see in those pictures is a quilt my Mom made me. She is an AWESOME quilter - let me tell you. She has made me three quilts and they are beautiful - very warm. And they make for great pictures! :)

Thanks for looking!
