Custom made books

Some of my clients like to order custom books with their favorite images. Books are such a nice way to display your photo's and share them with friends and family. Here are just a few 2 page spreads for a 20 page book that I designed.

“The Lord is near to those who are broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

I had asked for people to suggest some families that were in need of a free session and Monica, Adam's sister and a few of Heather and Adams friends all contacted me and told me of their story. Heather was pregnant with Parker and Parker had a heart condition and the doctor's were telling them that he would not live long if at all after he was born. I can not possibley tell the story but here is the link to Heather's blog that she has been keeping. http://parkersfight.blogspot.com/

Parker passed away after only 11 days....He put up a great fight and he gave his mommy and daddy 11 precious days to be able to see him, smell him, feel him.

My heart breaks into a million pieces when I think of the grief that this young family is feeling. I pray that God shows them how to continue to live without their precious baby Parker. Heather and Adam you are continually in my prayers and Parker has touched my life!

I pray that when you look at the photos I took that cool December day that you are able to remember the laughter that we shared, the few tears that wet our eyes...but most of all I pray that you feel the warmth of your precious baby with you in these photos.

The Weaving

My life is but a weaving, between my God and me;
I do not chose the colors, He worketh steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper, and I the under side.
Not til the loom is silent, and shuttles cease to fly
Will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needful in the skillful Weaver’s hand
As threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.

Stacy L Maternity Session....

I did these awhile back and Stacy has been real patient with me waiting on the edits. I have already done her newborn session so check back tomorrow to see beautiful baby Brooklyn. Stacy is absolutely beautiful pregnant and not one stretch mark on her perfect tummy.

Asher M....

Introducing baby Asher! What a beautiful baby boy he is! He was not about to be put down....this little guy would cry unless he was being held. So we worked with that and dad was in alot more of the photos than he had intended on being in. He finally gave in and fell asleep and I was able to put him in a basket for his very last shots. Congratulations!

Kristy H....

Kristy is absolutely gorgeous with a gorgeous family. I simply can not wait to see her new little one! Kristy is a natural in front of the camera so my job was easy. And her tummy....not one stretch mark!! How unfair is that? lol

Julie H....

Recently Julie's sister in-laws purchased a gift certificate from me for Julie to do a maternity session....and I am sooo glad they did. We had tons of fun and got some amazing photos.

(By the way gift certificates make great Christmas gifts!)
