The Payne Family

I met Melinda, Bill & Isabella for the first time this week. I was so excited to do some formal portraits with Bill in his Marine dress blues, I could hardly contain myself. It's not often a man will put on that uniform willingly for anyone! LOL... I had a blast getting candid shots of little Isabella. Here is a preview of how they turned out!

Brimhall Family Session

This crew is amazing! I love this family. I first met Ryleigh and her mom Adrienne at the doctor's office(of all places) in April of this year. My Riley and Adrienne's Ryleigh took to each other like two peas in a pod. I recently shot Ryleigh's senior portraits and her mom booked a family session soon after. This will be the last family session they receive for a while with both kids under one roof. I managed to get a couple of shots in between the belly-laughs and chasing my Riley around the living room!

Thank you guys for being so great!

Family Session

Fire Proof

I watched a movie tonight that has shaken the way I think. I was raised in a family who I thought were Christians we went to church every Sunday and I was taught bible stories. However in the past three year (since marrying my husband) I have learned what I was taught was not how God intend it to be. You cant just show up at church on Sunday and that's it. You have to peruse him in everything you do, everyday of your life. Its not easy, often times it's the hardest thing.

The past three years have not been easy for me personally, my marriage, or career. I have lost so much to be bitter and angry (trust me I was for a long time after my USN career ended) in my childhood and in the present day. What I did not realize was God was preparing me to able to accept people again, to open up my heart, in doing that I had to let him in first. I believe God is working in my life to help me fill whole again. I know he sent my husband to walk beside me because he knew he would be the one to stick it out through the hard times.

I encourage each of you to watch this movie. It has touched me in a way that only God can.
