Where did the time go?

It is quite often we look back on our lives and say "where did the time go?"



I was told that this family had few family photos taken together and was delighted
to be able to capture some of the moments that I am sure will last for a life time.



We often blink and our families have changed and grown right before our eyes.
Even though these kids are young...
I can just imagine what they will look like when they are 16 or 17.

What a fun afternoon... a little bit of laughter...
...a little bit of water... a little bit of smiles...

capturing the moments of this family was a delight!

Adoption

I had the privilege of taking some pictures of this wonderful couple and family.
They are just starting the adoption process and needed some
picture for their adoption paper work. I was so honored when they asked!

Adoption has touched many peoples lives, including my own. My father was adopted when he was two years old. I can’t imagine what my life would be like if people were not willing to adopt others children and make them their own. I am impressed by the people who are willing to give a life to another, knowing that this child’s life will forever be changed. It takes courage on both parties and I feel so bless to know that once again adoption is touching my life.

I am also reminded that as a child of God I am also adopted.

Ephesians 1:3-6
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing
in the heavenly places in Christ,
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
5 having predestined us to adoption
as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the
good pleasure of His will,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He
made us accepted in the Beloved.

I feel so blessed to be a small part of the Kreil’s adoption process and
pray that one of these pictures will touch the heart of a woman
willing to give them their baby. They are so deserving and such great parents.

Leila is one!

It has been a year since I was able to take pictures of this adorable little girl!

She was just as sweet then as she is now.
The best part is that I was able to take pictures of the whole family this time.
They were amazing! I can honestly say that Leila surprised me!

When we decided to take pictures on the beach, most children would be turned off by the sand, rocks, and crashing waves.

Not Leila! She loved every minute of it, and so did I!

Happy Birthday Leila!

"The More You Eat, The More You Want"

--- this seems to sum up this wonderful day---
I left feeling so full, and yet know I can't wait to have some more!
The smiles, giggles, and contagious energy had me going the whole time!
I love taking pictures of this family, and as you can see there are MANY pictures...
I just couldn't pick a few!
I love them all!

Heffner Family Pictures

I had so much fun taking pictures of this family!
Despite enduring the hundreds of pictures,
standing on very sharp rocks,
and getting splashed by the waves
they still maintained their sunny disposition!
