I met Alicia when I took Mandy & Jason’s wedding photos in 2009! I met Chris at Lael & Mark’s wedding in 2010! I met up with both of them at Cornell Plantations in August for their engagement session!

It makes my job so much easier when the people I am photographing are SO in love! I am so excited for the two of you and CANNOT wait to see your wedding photos next year! Thank you SO much for asking me to capture this time in your life!

On the way back from Ithaca I drove past a GIANT sunflower field – and HAD to stop and take some pictures!

BEAUTIFUL!!

I love spring! I love the smell of fresh grass, the buds on all the trees, and the flowers – oh how I love the flowers!

Normally I document the coming spring at each moment – but this year we were in the hospital over those three days welcoming our own spring miracle!

Here are some of the shots I took last month!

Remember – God takes care of the flowers in the field – and YOU are so much more important to Him – He will take care of you!!

I love autumn! I love the colors, the smells, the brisk air – everything about it!

Since today is the first day of winter – I thought this would be a great day to post this entry!

BEAUTIFUL!

This past weekend we went to my parents for the Trout family Christmas! My sister and I went out to shoot some scenes for my parents new kitchen!

Goodbye fall – hello winter!

I had to get some shots of *baby* J too!

He is ADORABLE!

*J*’s life will be changing soon too – with a new baby brother or sister on the way in June! Babies galore in my family this year!!

I had a few minutes before a senior session in July to take some photos at the park in Sayre.

SO PEACEFUL!!

I love the month of May – for many reasons!

The second half of the year starts tomorrow! Dear God – please help this second half to be better than the first!

Mara asked me to come talk to RAY about God sightings – letting God direct your vision and creative process.

We met at 7.30 in the morning a few weeks ago and spent some time either drawing, writing, or photographing – letting God lead our hearts and minds.

This is what God showed me that morning …

God showed me so much that morning – that heart shaped leaf was the last thing I noticed – how much He LOVES us!

Thank you Mara for asking me to come along!

SO BEAUTIFUL!

I love GREAT light!!!!
