First I want to say Thank you to all my families, you guys have endured some record breaking summer temps for your holiday portraits… and all of you have done it with great style and tons of patience.  Happy kids make for happy photography sessions and I really appreciate all the hard work you put into the session before you ever even see me.

After I finished this session I realized this is the first time, not counting my own crew, that I have photographed a family with three kiddos under the age of 5.  These kids were great, sweet and a lot of fun.  But the key is you kinda gotta let them do there own thing, give them 60% control of the session and see what happens, spend the other 40% of the session going for those “mom shots”.  I hope you guys love your images, you have a beautiful family and it was a privilege photographing them.

Something unexpected has come out of my photography business. When I started I thought how great it would be to get paid doing something I love, however I never imagined the strength in the friendships I would make. I will chalk a small portion of this up to facebook. (Because “literally” I gain a friend after each session) But in truth, through Photography, I have regained connections with friends who I haven’t seen since that last hug on the graduation field 16 years ago, I have made deeper connections with the families my children go to school with, those in my church community, and with total strangers whose friendship with me started with a phone number and a web address. All these amazing people have truly touched my life, because God gave me the gift of seeing the world in pictures.
So today as I post an amazing senior session, with the fabulous Julia, an “Angel” in more ways than one. I give this advice.
God doesn’t give a gift he won’t expect you to use,
If you find a lemon tree in your backyard, make lemon aid
If you see someone in need give them your last dollar
If a friend, hurts you, lies to you… forgive her
Prayer fixes everything, even if it just makes getting up off the ground a little easier
No matter how much you plan your life, God may have a different plan in mind for you.
It is not about who you are now as much as who you will be tomorrow.

I hope you love the sneak peek of your images as much as I loved making them! Have a fabulous Senior year!

You know that feeling when you meet someone and you know that for whatever reason, God has put them in your life… well that is how I felt about Tristian before I had ever even met her.

Tristian, designer of GracyLu original, has been blessed with this amazing gift and talent. She designs the most gorgeous hair pieces for brides, little girls, babies and for just regular gals who want to show their stuff. I could go on and on about her talent, and her business which is growing so fast. Last I saw she had over 2,000 fans on her facebook site. Which is as much a testament to her designs as the person behind them.

So aside from the fabulous original pieces she designs, she also has this amazing and very giving heart. She crusaded for everyone to know about sweet baby Layla Grace http://laylagrace.org/ who sadly lost her battle with cancer this past March. She brought this family into so many others through their prayers, that I know I will never forget this child or her story. She is an amazing Christian, who is endlessly proud of her faith and her love of God.
I am so fortunate to call her my friend.
Love you Tristian!

I have always considered myself pretty good with two year olds, but mom had me a little scared when she called and said that this little beauty was going through “a phase.”  Worried that she might cling to mom for the entire shoot, I asked her to come dressed in blue jeans and to make sure her toes were painted just in case they needed to be in the shot.  However, me and miss Kacey became friends real quick, she was the boss of the show and that is just fine with me.  We chose a great park for this location, lots of room to run and climb and not a swing set in site, Perfect for the adventurous two year old.  Things got chilly after a bit, so we came back to my place for some cozy indoor pictures… but mom will have to wait on those sneak peeks!
