So much sweetness and sass all in one little 4 year old!  What a fun age to photograph!!  This was a quick mini session with one outfit, one backdrop and about 20 minutes of craziness.  She started out very somber and not too sure about having her photos taken.  A few silly jokes (apparently the word “poop” is hilarious!) and she was full of it!  I just love her expressions;  somber, shy, silly, thoughtful, curious, playful and just plain gorgeous!  I think she must watch America’s Next Top Model because she can pose and find the light!  This four year old has it.  Oh, and she is super smart too.  Photographing a 4 year old is the best! 

I, along with 8 others from Senoia United Methodist Church, recently took a mission trip to Guatemala.  We spent the time there working at La Senda children’s home and school.  It was an amazing experience that I will not forget!  The plan is to build a personal relationship with those at La Senda and return every year.  I know I would love to go back!  It was a lot of work but so very worth it.  The children of La Senda were so welcoming and loving.  My Spanish is nonexistent but somehow we made it work!  As the official photographer for the group, I took over 1000 photos.  Here are just some of my favorites.  As you can tell, I am a huge black and white fan!  I guess that goes back to my darkroom days!  I have put together a slideshow of images with music that can be viewed on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V69fXK4xdmQ.  We are all so very thankful for the support of the community who prayed for us, supported our fundraising efforts and made donations.

It is a super cold November day!  I am longing for sunny warmth!  I’m hoping these photos of cuteness on the beach will do the trick.  Might not warm my body but they sure do warm my heart!  I so love these girls with every bit of my heart!

Photographed in a vintage bonnet at the age of one week and then again in the same bonnet at one year.  So many changes in such a short time!  Such a beauty!  She looks like a little porcelain doll.  I look forward to watching her grow.

How time flies!  Seems like just last week I was doing Jaden’s newborn photos!  He is a big one year old now and ready for action!  It’s a good thing he enjoys Cheerios as they were a good way to keep him in place for quick photos.  I really had to shoot fast as he was on the move!  So fun!
