Senior Twins L+S

Today was a beautiful day!  I had purposefully not mowed the grass, so that I could use it for the girls’ Senior Pictures, only to find out that Laura has a Phobia of Nature.  Sarah was fine with the grass, but would not under any circumstances sit on the bench, due to a Phobia of Wood.  Many of my Creative Ideas were struck down by default, but Laura did sit in the grass and Sarah did lean against a wooden door, so not all was lost!

I had so much fun with these two (and their mother) today.  I will miss them when they PCS (the parents) and go to college (the girls) in just a couple of weeks!

They are both so talented in Music, Sports, and the Arts – my Prayer for them is that they keep in using the Talents that God gave them, keep up their sweet Spirit, and maintain their incredible Maturity.  Anyone who comes across these two young Ladies will be blessed by knowing them – that’s all there is to it!

Here are a few sample pictures – just some that caught my eye as I first looked through them:

Cinco is Here!

So, I have been extremely busy lately and can hardly believe that I was busy enough to forget to put up the following picture from the Birthing Experience I had the honor to witness.  Jessica gave birth in her home with a wonderful German midwife, Alexa.  She was planning a water birth, but little Man G had other plans.  I ended up going home less than an hour before his arrival, simply because everything had slowed down and everyone thought it could still take a long time.  I did get to capture this incredible image and Jessica and James’ Unity and Strength during the part of the Labor I was there for.

G was a Fighter and was born with a True Knot in his Umbilical Cord, but is healthy and strong.

Two weeks later, I got to take his Newborn Pictures.  He cooperated a  little, but I did get some great images of him hanging in a basket from a tree!  That is not what I will post, however.  It’s the details that I love, so here are his red little feet in his Mother’s loving Hands.

Congratulations Jessica and James on your Fifth Little Blessing!

Baby Cinco in Waiting

Saturday I had the honor of doing a Maternity Shoot for an amazing Momma!  The Family is anticipating the arrival of Baby #5, lovingly nicknamed “Cinco”.  The gender will be a surprise, so Cinco, it is.

The first surprise for me was that when I left my village, I had to turn back around and detour, due to road construction.  Besides the fact that it made me late, I did not mind too much – I saw scenery I had not seen before and it was breathtakingly beautiful, preparing my mind and heart for the shoot.  The second “minor distraction” was that I took Ephraim with me and, of course, had to nurse him first thing as I arrived.  He will be my permanent sidekick for a while.

This family was so much fun to work with!  Momma J is glowing and so beautiful.

And so ready – a feeling I still remember well.

I usually have my head full of ideas of what kind of images I want to capture and create and I can’t wait to get started.   Momma J had this incredible idea, incorporating her entire family, that I was extremely excited about and due to a certain permanent element to it, we had to wait until the very end to take these…

Check this out.  Perfect reflection of who this family is – togetherness, bound by love, waiting to welcome their new addition into the midst and arms (my version of it, anyway…)

After spending time with this family, I was anticipating getting back to my own – even if that meant another detour…
