9 days. 9 nights.

Ike came and took our electricity for 9 days and 9 nights.  He may have come to destroy us but instead we chose to relish in our Hurrication.

Ike helped me:

meet every one of my neighbors.

have a solid week of family time.

master my skip-bo game.

enjoy the romantic flicker of candlelight.

have long intimate conversations.

laugh a lot.

find beauty in the simple things of life.

gaze at the stars.

enjoy new life.

be quiet.

share food and drink.

reach out.

enjoy life.

I enjoyed so many wow moments over the last nine days.  I wish I could tell you all about them.  Let just rest in the fact that our God is strong and good.

a birth story.

This birth story is beautiful. Magical even.

I had the absolute honor to photograph the journey of this one sweet baby to meet his family. I am posting a few of the photos but as you can imagine the most tender I have saved for the family to view and decide who will see them.

I can’t seem to shake one thing. The beautiful birth story, that I was so excited to attend, helped fund the story of our son. With the birth of one family they are birthing into another. Life in community just amazes me.

miles.

Yesterday evening I had the opportunity to photograph my nephew Miles for his senior portraits.  He and My sister are in from Las Vegas.  Last weekend we all celebrated my Mom and Dad’s 50th wedding anniversary.  Pictures from that will come soon.

Anthony and Carina Wedding

This outdoor wedding proved fun to shoot. I enjoyed the easy going flow of wind and leaves.

This bride enjoyed a duet of attention. She had two women at her beck and call dressing her for her special day.

This picture is my favorite from the day. Carina you made a beautiful bride.

Send your attention to the way Anthony is watching Carina. These are the moments that leave me with goosebumps.
