Life in a Small Town – Flowers!

April 14th, 2010

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!

Life in a Small Town – Our Farmers’ Market

April 6th, 2010

Every Saturday, our small town hosts a wonderful Farmers’ Market. I start every Saturday morning with a trip to the market. You never know what wonderful things you might find! Just look at these gorgeous fruits and veggies!

Don’t these strawberries just scream “SUMMER” to you??

Almost makes you want to eat healthy, doesn’t it?

He is Risen!

April 4th, 2010

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!

    Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
    Because He lives, all fear is gone;
    Because I know He holds the future,
    And life is worth the living,
    Just because He lives!
    Bill & Gloria Gaither

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

Life in a Small Town

March 24th, 2010

As I’ve mentioned before, I live in a wonderfully small town. It’s the type of town where you can’t go to the grocery store without seeing someone you know – which is never a good thing when you’re in your pajamas on a Saturday morning and realize you have no milk for your cereal.

This town is full of great moments for photography. I thought it would be fun to feature some photos from my small town on the blog. So here it begins, the first installment of “Life in a Small Town.”

This first photo is of our local, historic train station. For many years, our small town was best known as the winter home of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The circus would arrive in town by train and stay here for the cold winter months. Sadly, the circus train no longer comes roaring into this station, but I can only imagine the excitement that surrounded this place on those days.

The train station is now a beautiful landmark of our city – and a great place for a photoshoot, as you might remember!

Stay tuned for more from “Life in a Small Town”!

Budweiser Clydesdales

March 22nd, 2010

You never know what you might find in our small town! Guess who showed up recently?

That’s right – the Budweiser Clydesdales!! A huge crowd showed up to see them. We watched them get unloaded off the truck, brushed, harnessed and hooked to the rig. These horses are MASSIVE. Seriously, the pictures don’t even begin to adequately portray the size of these beautiful horses!

Aren’t they beautiful?

The horses all came out with a quiet crowd….but after they were all hooked up, they brought out Bud (the dalmation) and everyone cheered! He was the star of the show!

This is actually the second time this year that they’ve been to our small town. It was such a big hit last time that they decided to bring them back! We hope to see them again soon! Read the rest of this entry »

Sports Photos

March 20th, 2010

The weather outside is BEAUTIFUL today! And in honor of the beautiful weather, I wanted to share some fun outdoor photos with you.

We absolutely love taking photos of our local sports teams. There is something so exciting about capturing those game changing moments. Here are some photos from a recent soccer game:

If you would like us to take photos of your athletes, please give us a call!

More Baby Liam!

March 6th, 2010

I am so excited to share some more of the photos from Baby Liam’s photoshoot with you. Warning: If you have baby fever, these photographs will make your temperature spike through the roof! Isn’t he a doll?? Just look at those eyes!!

We encountered a tiny challenge when Liam’s mother informed us that he cries everytime she takes his diaper off. That settled it: No cute baby bum pictures in this shoot! We had to get creative and work around the diaper, but we were still very pleased with how the photographs turned out!

I just love Baby Liam’s tiny feet…

Absolutely angelic.

In case you’re wondering, we usually do our baby photo shoots in our client’s homes. We find this is usually much more convenient for our clients and less stressful for the babies. The babies are more comfortable in familiar settings, and we are able to get some great shots like the ones above.  

We hope you have enjoyed these photos of Baby Liam!

Baby Liam
