Meet Savannah

Sooo...... my friend Katie from www.thekristplace.blogspot.com was getting on to me about my blogging(rightfully so)... and considering its been 8 months WHOOPS I figured I need to get back on it.  I have lots of photos from the past 8 months, but I won't overwhelm you will them all at once, I will show them slowly.  I can't wait to fill you in on all the fun adventures.
But lets start here.
Starting with some of my FAVORITE pictures!

Meet Savy
 Savannah was one of the first high school students I met when I moved to B-town.  She was a sophomore that year and is now a graduate, wow!!!  As I was looking through these photos I was thinking back to when I first met her and amazed at the beautiful young woman she has become.  She is not only a beautiful young woman but has a beautiful heart!  She is an incredibly mature young woman and loves Jesus a lot!  She just got back from serving at a YL camp on Work Crew for a month, WOOHOO!!  I knew she'd love it, but to hear her come back and talk about learning about Jesus was overwhelming and wonderful!  What high school students wants to go to camp during their summer for a month to serve literally 12 hours a day?  She does!  And she comes back changed for eternity, I love that!  I am so glad I have been able to watch her grow these past three years (very sad that she is moving off to college) but so glad that we will be lifelong friends!  I am also so excited to see what the Lord does in her heart as she steps into this new journey of college!

I took some Seniors of Savy in May (whoops) but still want to show them cause I think they are just so sweet and show off her fun, sassy personality!

I did a shoot with a sweet family from my home town a couple of weeks ago and boy was it fun!  

There are two sweet little boys Brady and Holden and man they are fun!  They have tons of energy (and heres the best part), there parents do too!  I don't know if I have ever seen two parents who play with their children like Josh and Amy!  It was a sweet thing to watch.  As most kids they were uncomfortable at first but soon their parents starting playing with them and it wasn't long before the laughter started.   There are two pictures in particular that is crazy, way to go Josh, taking the pain for laughter (you will know what im talking about!)

I am so thankful for this time to shoot and really enjoyed it!  Thanks for letting me Amy and Josh!

There's a LOT of pictures...... I just couldn't decide!

Enjoy

Welcome Kalie Ellen Hawks!

Please meet my new cousin Kalie Ellen!
She is adorable and the sweetest little thing ever!  I am so excited that we have a new family member and a new baby to dote over :)
What a gift a baby is!  The fact that this sweet child has just been with our Father and that he allows this child to come here to be cared for by parents and to experience the world.  For her to get to come and experience this world so that in the end she knows her Father in all new ways for eternity.  How cool is that?  She is an eternal being that is here for a short time and we get to be blessed by that short time!
I wish she could talk, think of the things she could say?

A child.  Such a gift.  And we get to blessed and pushed to how our Father loves us by the love that he creates in our hearts for His children.  So many parents have said to me, I understand His love for me so much more now that I have a love for this child.  The crazy thing is, we can never fully understand or grasp how much He loves us!

Well here are some pics of the sweet sweet gift!
