We thought you might enjoy seeing some beauty on this Tax Day Eve!
One of the best things about our local Farmers Market is the flowers. Every week Shannon picks out some gorgeous flowers and makes them into arrangements for herself (and if we’re lucky, for her family too!)
I hope this little bit of beauty has put a smile on your face today!
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
How deep the Father’s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocing voice,
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I knoww that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast inJesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We had a wonderful time with the Mastro family at Siesta Key beach. The weather was a bit cloudy, but the photos turned out great. We especially loved that bright yellow lifeguard stand! Beautiful photos of a beautiful family…see for yourself! Here are a few of our favorites:
Thank you Mastro family!
Time is running out…book your family’s holiday portrait session today!
We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Camps family in Tallahassee. You have never seen such hospitality, accompanied by the most delicious food around! You’ll see what we mean in these photos from the day…
Here is our host, Dr. Joe Camps, slicing the ham…
Just look at that spread!
About 60 family members were there to share the meal. It was such an incredible time of chatting, laughing and (of course) eating!
Some of the Camps cousins…
The NINE Camps siblings…
And the whole group…can you imagine feeding all these people??? Thank you again, Camps family, for your hospitality and generosity!
Today we remember those who have served our country so sacrificially. Here are some photographs from the funeral of a true war hero – Shannon’s grandfather, Bob Burgett, who passed away last year. He served our country in Europe during WWII and taught all of us the importance of treating our veterans with the dignity and respect they deserve. God bless our veterans, and God bless America!
One of our favorite holiday traditions is our annual Halloween party. Our friends really outdid themselves with their costumes this year. Here are a few photos from the party - enjoy!
I am so excited to share this portrait session with you because…this is my (Callie) and Shannon’s little sister! She is turning 12 years old next week, and asked Shannon to do a portrait session of her. I know I’m biased, but isn’t she beautiful?
They took pictures at several locations around beautiful Venice, FL (our hometown). The one above is at the local historic train station. Shannon also took her to a local park where we used to take Ashlyn when she was little. These are some photos Shannon took at the park way back when Ashlyn was only two years old
And here is that beautiful little girl now!
The girls decided to head over to Ashlyn’s school for a few shots on the playground…
And then Ashlyn made it very clear she had had enough of the modeling. 
What a fun day! Please keep Artistic Avenues in mind for any of your portrait needs – bridal portraits, graduation photos, or even a “just because” session like this one!
