WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

I've been playing with my camera all day and I want to share these shots of our manger scene. In the craziness of the season, I want to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. As I pursue this dream of photography, I lay it at the manger as a gift! May my heart and yours be reminded of His great love for us as we celebrate Jesus birth! Merry Christmas!

This picture was e-mail to me from a friend and was a source of inspiration for the above pictures of Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I absolutely love this!

TIS' THE SEASON!

Luke woke up from his nap today and mommy was in the midst of Crafty Christmas treat mayhem! He couldn't have been happier , especially since I let him eat the ginger bread mans legs!

SNAPSHOTS BY THE TREE

Our pastor and his wife, they look real stiff and serious...don't they... no fun at all?

Dallas Alliance Church staff and spousesWonderful new friends
Couples and kids to hang with....We are so blessed by friendship Not every snap shoot is easy!

ORNIMENTAL REMINDERS!

I had so much fun taking these shots. I am in the process of learning more about my camera and exciting things are starting to happen with some hints from the pros. Playful images are coming to life with a deeper understanding of what ISO, Shutter speed and Aperture can accomplish.
Thanks for your inspiration Me Ra , Brian http://www.merakohblog.com/

WHAT A CRAFTY DAD

The kids absolutely loved this craft. I was so impressed by Scott, He did this from start to finish with the kiddo's, all I had to do was drink allot of coffee and provide empty Coffee Mate containers. He went and bought the buttons, eyes and fabric all on his own, he even went on a hunt for twigs to bemade into snowman arms. What a great dad and didn't these fellas turn out cute?

HERE COMES THE BRIDE!

Great anticipation is building as two weddings are fast approaching. I will be photographing not just a dear friends wedding, but also my very own wedding dress as it once again makes it's way down the isle. What an unbelievable blessing and turn of events, God really has a way of bringing things full circle. The first wedding is on December 29th, it will be small and intimate. The second wedding January 9th, a much larger affair and extra special because Scott will be officiating the ceremony. Congratulations to the brides and grooms. It will be an honor and privilege to share in this very momentous moment in your lives.

OH CHRISTMAS TREE, OH CHRISTMAS TREE!

What fun to venture out in our new town to locate just the perfect Christmas tree. Our first stop was at Dutch Brothers for hot cocco topped with whipped cream of coarse. It was precious to look back at our kiddo's smiling faces all filled with excited anticipation of the season. The world may choose to say, "Happy Holidays" but as for us and our house we will say, "Have a Blessed Christmas and a Joyous Celebration of Jesus Birth". Oh and enjoy some cocco too!

RAINS CAME DOWN & FLOODS CAME UP!

It rained 50+ hours strait last week and our quite neighborhood stream became a raging river. It was pretty intense to see 70 foot trees floating down river taking out everything in their path. Sure did make for some good puddle jumping though!
