Free Holiday Mini Sessions

Check it out tomorrow is our second annual free session day. Yes Tomorrow!

Heres how it works. Once a year we offer free mini sessions with a special theme. Last year we did a fall theme outdoors this year we are doing Holiday (vintage Christmas) mini sessions. Its the only time of year we do these smaller sessions. We will have discounted image discs available as well and online viewing. Then as a cool bonus we will pick our favorites from this fun themed session and display them in the gallery at the December art walk.

After the First Friday gallery showing we also schedule a time for you to come in to the studio and view the remainder of the images from your session. You can order any prints or products from your session at that time.

Send me an email if you want to sign up. I will be checking my mail until late tonight. Spots for these session are available from 9-12 and spots are limited.

The Pearsons

Thanks for stopping by the blog. The Pearsons look adorable and we had a really good time in the studio. Dylan is one and is cute as a bug. A lady bug to be exact. Not only did I enjoy shooting her but I got to witness the joy as her family watched her dig into her very first birthday cake. I got to be a part of a Pearson family moment. Grandpa and both Grandmas where there. "Is this going to work? what is she going to do?" I could feel them thinking. Dad was beaming and Jessicas tension about the shoot relaxing. I could almost see her body lanquage saying as she rested on her mom "we made it through the first year, this is good."

Turn up the volume

Its time to turn up the volume. My God is a passionate powerful God. Its not that I don't try to listen or obey or make plans to do so, but the things of this world and their influence seem so persistent and seem so loud. My heart mostly beating with its own meager strength. But the truth! Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. Stronger, more enduring more passionate. But how often is that reflected in me. Honestly, my heart, my thoughts, my joy, my life and my hope is so easily drowned out by the noise and the powers of the enemy. His fear has been louder than Gods hope. His persistent buzzing and chaos and agitations more present than the endurance of Gods hope and peace. No matter how loud the enemy is our God is stronger and enduring and more persistent. He is a passionate intensely loving enduring God. And he has called us not to just pursue him, but to do so with his heart to do so passionately. No more letting it be drowned out. IF need be its time to turn the volume down on the things of this world. Cast off the cares and snares that so easily entangle us. and turn the volume up on our pursuit of him of his calling and obedience to his word. We can praise louder and follow passionately, love more deeply. Trust more intensely.

This is the day that the Lord hath made I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Holly Chris e-session on the farm

I wanted to post some images from Holly and Chris's e-session on their farm. I had been excited to shoot these for a long time. The farm has been in Holly's family for a generations. There is cattle in its future Chris says. As you can see from the images, some of the old abandon ruins from years past are still on the property. The old farm house was one of the first in the city to have pressurized water(it came from a gravity fed tank on the property) and the building picture used to be the old stone warehouse.
