Ms. C and her lovely Family

I met Ms. C nearly a year ago when I decided it was time to start taking better care of myself. She is the Leader of the Lakenheath TOPS group. (TOPS stands for Taking off the Pounds Sensibly) She asked that I take these pictures in honor of her losing 100 pounds! I have never met someone with such dedication to a cause. Each Monday evening I would look forward to hearing about her weekly endeavours at the gym and at home with her food choices. I am so proud of the progress she has made! I really feel as if you can see her confidence in these photos. Ms. C has such a beautiful family and has made the important choice to take care of herself so she can enjoy them for so many years to come. I'm so very proud of you and am going to miss you.

We are Here!

I can't believe how long it has been since I have been on here. Though I do have an excuse. In the past three weeks we have moved to another country (back to the great US of A), unpacked our house (in the beautiful city of Boise, ID), had a birth in the family (my sister, who I now live across the street from, had a beautiful baby girl), had my parents come for a visit (they drove all the way from West Virginia) and had Abby fly up for the weekend (from Wyoming.) So... you can see why the BLOG has been what some might say... neglected. Buy I'm back and behind all at the same time. And as much as I want to share lots of photos of happenings here, I first want to update my last two customers who didn't make it on my BLOG before they packed up my computer and sent it on it's way.... :) Thanks Christine and Nickie for you patience!

The Entire S Family

There was this little girl....

...with a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.

Little Miss C

... just as precious as can be.

Love. . .

Sometimes I meet a family and the love between them is so obvious. That was how it was with the S family. The girls were so beautiful (on the inside and out) and sweet with one another. The entire family were natural with each other and in front of the camera. How fun for me! My favorite pictures don't tell so much about what a person looks like but more about who they are.

The Women of PWOC

I had the opportunity to do a session with the leaders of the local PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel) and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Every one of these women is unique and beautiful (on the inside and out) in her own way. And as our session progressed I could see genuine friendship between them. What a fun bunch of ladies God has put together for this important ministry.

A Beautiful Blue Door

While doing this session the with C family I came by this beautiful blue door. How could I resist? It was so beautiful and such a great place to take a family picture. The C's were so sweet and up for many different locations and poses. Young Mr. A was such a pleasure to talk with and a natural behind the camera. Thanks so much C family for spending your morning with me. Enjoy your pictures.

The J Family

I met a family today with two very active little boys. If only dear Mom and Dad could bottle all that energy - they would be rich! :) It was so sweet to see the excitement little G and L had over the ducks. It felt like a treasure hunt as we went from one place to another in a search for our feathered friends.
