What's been going on...

Well, here it is April, and my New Year's Resolution to be better at blogging has obviously failed before it started. We have been so busy since last fall - which is good! We did all the typical Holiday stuff...Santa was in our studio, over several days to visit with our client's children. It's always so exciting, but there was one memorable visit. Sydney came to see Santa and she was the quietest I'd ever seen her. I found out later that she was nervous because, "That was the REAL Santa". She kept telling her mother that she had looked into the eyes of the real Santa that day. What a special joy that brings to the Holidays!!

We've been busy this spring with school pictures and bunny pictures. We have live bunnies that visit us in the spring, every year. They are so sweet and so gentle and the kids just love them. The adults are always amazed at how good and how patient the bunnies are with the children.

This is Emily & Ethan with the bunny this year


Last weekend we had the honor of photographing the wedding of Ty and Mandy. They are a precious couple, who are so obviously in love. It's always such a blessing to be a part of a wedding where so much love is present. We so enjoyed meeting their friends and family, also. They all made it such an enjoyable day and I know they made it special for Mandy and Ty. My life was touched by these people.
Here is a sneak peak at their day-











We wish them a long life of love and friendship!

The first of the week, one of my clients came in to pick out a frame and I told her that while she was in town, I would frame her picture for her and she could pick it up on her way home. I framed her order - and then left for lunch. I came back to find a special surprise on my desk. She and her son (who shares my love of Riley's Tea Cookies) had made a stop at Riley's and they brought me a bag of my favorites! I did share a couple of them with Brian and my dad, but I enjoyed every one of those cookies. I appreciate them thinking of me. It truly made my day!! We have the best clients!

Today is Good Friday and I hope that you are reflecting on the meaning of this day and what a gift it is for us. As we celebrate this Sunday, I hope you have the knowledge of why it is we have Easter...because "God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16)

Happy Easter!
