lil girl Grizzly clinic

Here's a few of Addy at the game tonight. She learned a dance and a cheer to perform. I think to say, "she liked it" would be an understatement!

Jordan~senior 09

Tonight I had the privilege of meeting a new family all the way from Heber Springs. It was great to meet you and capture this time in Jordan's life. Thanks for coming all this way! I look forward to working with you in the coming weeks. Good luck Jordan with your senior year.

Collin~six months

boy! was he ever in a great mood! We got some super shots this morning with this almost six month old. I just love his hair! and the baby legs was one of my favorites, too.

Jules!

Can this girl get any sweeter. She turned two today. What a little doll she was. Thanks Barry and Donna! I hope she had a great party! Her entire session is also on the featured session on the website.

Weidmam Girls

Aren't these girls just precious. I must admit it would be fun to have four girls. Can't you imagine how much fun they'll have as adult sisters! I'm jealous!

Skurdahl Slideshow!

Brittney's Bridals

I can finally post these. Today was great. I'm so happy for Brittney and Nathan. The ceremony was beautiful and so many people love you guys and pray for God's blessing over your life. I'll post some wedding shots later..probably a slide show. but until then here are her bridals, some of them anyway.

Go Bears Go!

{my apologies for so many pics}Here are a few of the Grizzlies and their fans in action tonight. For the next two weeks, Northside students are hosting around 20 German high school students. Well, tonight the Germans joined our bleacher creatures. Right before half, the Germans caught on to what we were doing, then they decided they would help lead. Before I knew it I hear this sound, not sure if it was a cheer, chant, or what, but in true Northside style, it was loud and they had fun with it. I leaned over and told Mahan, only at Northside! I love it! oh and isn't little Madison the cutest cheerleader ever! I remember when my Addy had her little cheerleader outfit for the Grizzlies.

On the Market

I typically only include stuff about photography or school or my three precious ones on here but tonight, I'm going to take some time to brag on my husband and dad. For two weeks straight I don't think my husband has done anything but sleep, eat and work. He has worked so hard to get our house ready to sell. We've been so busy getting it ready that we've not had a chance to be discouraged by the recent news in the market with housing......and loans, etc. Mom and Dad came up on Tuesday and they have worked their heads off. We totally decluttered the house and did the scrub down to get things clean. I feel better just having things stored away for now. I hope it sells quickly, but I'm dedicated to letting God direct us. There have been some really Godly, kind people helping me, advising me in the last few weeks, and I am always so appreciative of that. It seems like the more you move in any direction the more God uses us. When you are static....it seems to be in my life anyway, that God becomes static. It is so reassuring when you feel the presence of God.....your faith and works combined really does strengthen the relationship with God.

I could do a whole post on what this sweet house has meant to me, but I'll save that for later....hopefully sooner than later. Anyway, Shelly is going to list it with Chuck Faucet Realty. She was funny....last night she emailed and asked if I wanted to take the pictures or did I want her to come over and get the pictures....we both laughed and said well, I guess I'll do it...no need in her coming over here for that purpose. So tonight I managed to get them all taken and hope they will work! Feel free to send me advice, this is our first for selling a home. I love advice!

He's Here! Well, almost anyway!

The cutest little Asian baby that I've ever seen---- I am already in love with this little guy. It is so crazy to think that all the way in South Korea, the Lord has been blessing this baby boy. So many of us have been praying for him or her.......and now we have Owen! I know that Nathan and Emily can't stop smiling, the longest wait now begins...we all hope he arrives by Christmas, but we'll see? Congratulations you guys, he is simply adorable. I can't wait to capture him, but more than that. I can't wait for him to arrive safe and sound with Nathan and Emily. If you don't know Nathan and Emily check out their story here http://emilyandnathan.blogspot.com/.

It has been a little crazy around here!

Doug and I are busy getting our house in order.......you can guess what that means and (no it doesn't mean we are having another baby), thank goodness! I will try and keep this updated through out the week! But this week I did squeeze in some sessions. Precious boys I might add! Here's a few of my favorites. Korben just turned six months and Raashid is celebrating his one year birthday today!
