Marcus – Ready to Graduate!

What a treasure of a family!  I met Valerie at work and she became an instant friend! She is a gifted photographer specializing in b/w film and she is also an engineer. I was honored when she approached us to capture senior portraits of her son Marcus. We met downtown and got to know each other as we strolled through downtown capturing images. Marcus is young man of integrity and it was evident that he possesses both a gentle and strong spirit. He has a proud momma and artsy-fun sister! It was a delightful stroll!

Maleah brought a few pieces of her art along. I totally loved her self-portrait sketch. She has such a sweet confidence 🙂

YOUR life is beautiful Taylor family! Love it out!

Brave Little Tea

Little fighters are such an inspiration. Less than two years old, its hard to believe how much this little one has already been through. Tea was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and is undergoing chemo treatments to shrink it in size. She has lost her eyesight but not her sweet spirit.

I got to spend a a little time with her at a recent benefit, and capture some images. Her mom, Kim, is a dear cousin and quite a brave girl herself. I was moved seeing them together and witnessing Kim’s strength knowing the storms she has already endured.

Tea loved this silver bracelet and the sound it would make when she dropped it on the ground – you can hear her laughter in this video snippet:

To keep up with her journey and join us in prayers, look up ‘Tea Akins” on Facebook. Love to you brave little Tea.

YOUR life is beautiful… love it out!

Clara and Ella are two!

Oh my – these kids have energy! And are soooo sweet!

I loved this moment of Connor proudly hugging his little twin sisters. The light held on for us for this evening garden session celebrating the terrific twos for the twins, Clara and Ella. Their cute pink outfits were a gift from their aunt  – and their white dresses were just lovely.

 

These three little ones have a lovely big sister too! Hopefully we will have them all in the garden this spring – mom & dad too!

 YOUR life is beautiful… love it out!

Awesome Aaron – Class of 2013

We were so blessed to spend time with awesome Aaron to capture his senior portraits.

We captured Aaron’s big sister Jessica’s senior portraits a few years ago. But this time we were able to spend time with the whole family! What a beautiful evening on Monte Sano Mountain and what a delightful family 🙂

Aaron’s interests include soccer and archery – I loved shooting the images with the bow & arrow. He has a natural knack with maintaining computers and will be a great computer engineer! Just a great guy! Tony & I look forward to staying in touch with this wonderful family to hear about the great things they do! Blessings!

 

 YOUR life is beautiful… love it out!
