Senior Photo Time!

I have been taking Senior photos like crazy lately. My laptop has become just that, the top of my lap. Lol. I love it though. I hope my family can say the same, because when I am working on photos, I am in a zone where I can't hear much of anything outside of my brain. I also haven't always been the friendliest mom lately. Remember my last post about the squished juice box? Yea, that would describe me. My family has been great at giving me time and space to do what I need to do to keep my clients happy. This time of the year is winding down and before long it will be Summer break and I will have more time to sit outside with a cup of coffee and enjoy my favorite time of the year.
Here are a few of the wonderful Seniors I have photographed!!!

Remembrance Photography and Me!!!

Today, I am making some new changes to my blog! I am excited about this new change. I have used this blog to share my photos, but I want to branch out and share more about me and my family. I want to share some tips, advice, and personal experiences I have being a wife, mom, photographer, etc. The list of jobs sometimes seem to grow. Lol!
This past week I have felt a little like this:

Do you know what I mean? Between taking photos, working as a lunch lady at the local school, and being a mom of 4 kids, I was empty! I felt like I was being squeezed and all the life sucked out of me. On Mother's Day, I was refilled with love from my amazing family, but then I noticed it only took a couple of days before I started to feel empty again. I spent some time praying about it and then it came to me. I am not the only mom who feels this way. I am not the only person who feels this way. I am not the only Christian who feels this way. So, I want to share some bits of wisdom given to me in my times with the Lord in hopes that it will help others. 

I would love to gain some followers here. The more the merrier! Please share with your friends and family that you feel would benefit from my tidbits. 

Enjoy and God bless all those squished juice boxes out there! May you be refilled!

Graduation Photos!

Around here, 8th grade graduation is a big deal. There is often a ceremony with formal attire and photos and the whole shabang. Is that how you spell it? Lol. Anyway, here is a sweet photo I took of an soon to be graduate of the 8th grade!

Sunrise in Texas!!!

We have gone to Texas for Spring Break a few times and each time we go we usually drive. We start out after kids get home from school and we get home from work and drive all night. We usually get there about noon the next day. On this drive, I couldn't pass up photos of the sunrise. It was beautiful! Check it out!!!

Beach Fun!

For Spring Break my family and I went to Texas. The beach is probably one of my most favorite places to be. It is so beautiful and relaxing! I feel so close to God when I am there. And of course I took lots of photos. Here is a few!

I have even more coming soon!!!

Throwback Thursday!

I love taking photos of kids doing kid stuff! This photo was taken at a Corn Festival in 2012 where I had a photo booth. It was so fun and I think it turned out very cute!

Snow Day!!!!

Today, we had our first snow day in several years. The kids were thrilled to have no school! El Nino is who we thank for that! Lol! So I took advantage of the fresh powder and grabbed my camera to capture it. Here are several photos I took.

Our dog, Annie

I grew up in North Dakota so I have had my fill of snow, but I have to say it sure is pretty. Here in Arizona, well, it is almost melted already. I love that!
