Portrait party

This beautiful momma of three hosted a portrait party for me on Sunday.



Here is a preview of some of her pictures from the party.

















Thanks so much. I appreciated you coordinating this for me. I hope you like your pictures :)

Cute kids alert

This baby was the cutest! I wanted to take him home with me. He was the most smiley baby I have ever seen. His chubby cheeks are to die for.













Can this family get any cuter? I think not!

Hot, hot, hot

The weather was HOT yesterday when I took these pics of this cute looking family.
They were the first to come in their group, so they will be the first for the sneak peek ;)












Despite the heat, this family was able to strike the pose. Seriously aren't they cute!
It was nice meeting you. Thanks for enduring the weather.

Beautiful family

Classic Beauty defines this family.












Love those brown eyes!
Such a pleasure to photograph.

Family affair

Met up with this family over the 4th of July weekend. 4 generations strong.
Extended family photos.....
There is something special about them.

Many more pictures to come :)

I was reminded

I was reminded of how powerful a Christian heritage can be.
This reminder was seen during a 4 generation photo shoot I had yesterday.



I was reminded when the sweet girl showed me her Bible and talked about the story of Palm Sunday.



I was reminded when the aunt suggested that everyone sing "Jesus loves me," when a certain someone's mood turned sad.



I was reminded of conversation that I had about 3-4 years ago with the beautiful lady above.
We both were in the children's nursery loving on babies. I had recently been reacquainted with her daughter through MOPs, and I had started to read her daughter's and daughter-n-law's blogs. Both were filled with their statement of faith and walk with Christ. It made me wonder, 'how does one parent so that their children will love God forever.' So I asked this now grandmother of three how she did it. I was hoping for maybe a checklist of Godly parenting skills, but she humbly replied, "only by the grace of God." She did go on further and stated that during the challenging teenage years, her family was blessed with Godly mentors that walked the life journey with their teens.





Now their children are grown, and passing the Christian heritage to their little ones.





May God continue to bless your family. Lots of love to you. - Jen


I was reminded of this verse: "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

A boy meets a girl

I love stories about how people meet.
This fun couple met on a basketball court.



She was a college senior basketball player. He was a ref.
I guess she didn't like the call he made against her.
And made this VERY known.
So known that her mom apologized to him later at a social that night.
This guy won the mom over and turns out the mom convinced her basketball daughter
to get acquainted with the "bad call" ref.
They end up marrying about 5 months later.
Go forward about 30 years.......



They have two beautiful daughters and a gorgeous grandbaby.


Look at the proud aunt.





You can tell there is a lot of fun and laughter with this family.


Thanks so much. It was so fun and such a pleasure getting to know your family!
