Merry Christmas and Happy New Year: May we celebrate the true meaning of the Christmas Season.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."     

                                                                                                            John 3:16

That son, was Jesus and even though he was not born on Christmas day, we celebrate Christmas in remembrance of his birth.

And this is how it all started.

"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."

                                                                                                             Matthew 1:23

And then He was born.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

                                                                                                             Isaiah 9:6

 "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."

                                                                                                             Luke 2:11

And since He was born. 

For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

                                                                                                            Roman 10:13

All we need do is to ask him to forgive us and to invite him to be a part of our lives.  He has paid the ultimate sacrifice by dying on the cross so that we might go to heaven and have the gift of eternal life.  He offers it to us freely.  All He asks us is to do is to believe in Him. 

"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." 

                                                                                                             Acts 16:31 

 Jesus I know I am a sinner and you are my only hope.  I know that it is only through you I can be saved.  I know you are God's son and that he sent you to this world to die for my sins on the cross so that I could go to heaven if I believe in you and ask you into my heart.  

So, I ask you to come into my life and take over.  I surrender myself completely to you. I thank you for dying on the cross for me and I'm sorry and ask you to forgive me of all of my sins.  I accept the gift of eternal life you are offering to me and I desire to have a relationship with You.  Please, come and live within my heart today.  Amen.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast."  

                                                                                                             Ephesians 2:8-9

..."I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me."

                                                                                                             John 14:6

"And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."  

                                                                                                             Acts 2:21  

 "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."  

                                                                                                             Hebrews 11:19

Enough said... :)

Fall Colors to Die For

     This couple above are some very close friends of ours!  Every year we receive the opportunity to photograph their pictures and every year we aim for something different.  This year I think we hit the nail on the head!  I could not have asked for better outfits, prettier fall colors, a more perfect day, or more gorgeous models! ;)  Once more, there are too many to post, so we thought we would just share a few...  Andrea, I know you are wanting to see one of your puppies, so I thought I would post this one above with them in it for fun, as a teaser, and make you wait for the PERFECT one!...  You will see it soon enough!  Some things in life are DEFINITELY worth the wait and I don't want to spoil all the fun! ;)...  Love you girl! :)

Mandie Joachim: SR. Model

I just love when I am able to photograph a gorgeous, natural red head!  Mandie's hair is like a strawberry blonde and is beautiful on her.  She is a natural "poser" and fell right into place, just like her hair!...  I LOVED IT!  Like many of our seniors, Mandie heard about us from one of her friends and saw us on facebook and decided to give us a call!  I LOVE it when they do that and I am able to meet another gorgeous senior and am able to photograph them like their friends! :)  It's like we have an instant connection that way!...   I am SO blessed with ALL of these GORGEOUS seniors that I definitely count my blessings every day! :)  Thank you Mandie for making my job easier by being SO pretty and CONGRATULATIONS on being Homecoming Queen! :)

Many of you already know, have found out on facebook, or have heard from a friend, but I'm getting married! :)  This is an exiciting time in my life and I can't wait to share it with all of you on facebook, but while I enjoy my wedding and honeymoon with my new husband the business is going to be closed for a few days.  We will re-open on Tuesday, October 26th!...  We will see and talk to all of you then! :)

Another Senior Faces' Model: Bailey Huckeby

I know everyone is dying to know and ask, "Is that her own motorcycle?"  ...Yes!  This is her motorcyle! ;)  This beautiful girl goes to WHS and has been wonderful to get to know.  I think I want to make-up excuses to go see her even after her senior portraits are completely done, just so I can play with her two puppies whom I have fallen completely in love with. ;)  Don't worry, she knows...  I kid her about it everytime I see her! ;)  In all seriousness, just as much as I love her puppies, I love her too; she is a way beautiful girl and I can't wait to see and hear how amazing at being a teacher I know she will be after college! ;)

Abbey McNeill: Senior 2010

This incredibly gorgeous young lady graduated last year from highschool.  She found us on facebook from some of her friends' pictures and decided to give us a call.  As soon as we talked, we hit it off, not only is she SO sweet, but she has a great sense of style and is a joy to be around!  This year she is attending Baylor University and I know they are keeping her incredibly busy!  We get a chance to meet up with here when she comes into town, to catch up on her first experiences at college life and look at her senior portraits, but it's hard to wait to see her every time and we can't wait to see which image becomes her favorite!  She definitely has a tough job ahead of her, deciding out of all of the amazing ones she has to choose from...  Thank you Abbey for becoming our friend! :)...  We will see soon pretty girl! :) 

Kelsey Randall: More of her fabulous images from SRAD 1 and her Senior Session!

Thank you for being so beautiful and fun to photograph Kels!  You make my job so much more fun!  Have fun this year, cheer your football team on to a championship (Southmoore Highschool), and cherish every moment!

Chancy: Senior Faces' Model

Her images say it all, "Fun, sassy, beautiful, intelligent, sweet, loving, caring, exciting, daring, passionate, and so much more!  It is a blast being able to photograph SO many different sides of these seniors and getting to know each one of their individual personalities keeps me on my toes, laughing, and smiling a lot! :)  I LOVE how each one of the seniors we shoot bring something different to the table, have so much to offer life, and have the world ahead of them to be able to do anything they want!

Congratulations Chancy on your last year of highschool and for cheering on your school for the past so many!  We all need people like you to cheer us on in life no matter where we go and what we do.  You have SO much spirit that it shines in everything you do!  Thank you for shining in our lives and for allowing us a glimpse in yours! :)

This wonderful girl is a beautiful senior to say the least!...  Taylor, thank you SO much for sharing part of the beginning of your senior year with us!  You have been a blast to get to spend time with and have one of the sweetest personalities and families that we have gotten to know!  We are SO excited as to what the future has in store for you and can't wait to hear all about college next year!  Let me know when you decide to do a pageant... I will be cheering for you! ;)  ...Have an AMAZING senior year girl! 

Payton Johnson: Birthday Girl!

This wonderful and beautiful young lady decided to hit the town with her best friends for her Birthday Celebration!  It was a blast being able to see all of these girls who have been friends for quite some time, hang out and spend time with each other in Bricktown!  After all of these gorgeous models hit the town for their photoshoot they winded up at Nonna's for an AMAZING Birthday Dinner!  It was some Birthday Dinner, let me tell you, this Birthday Girl's daddy is giving some man, some day, some pretty BIG shoes to fill for his AMAZING Princess! :)  I definitely think that is the way it should be for every girl out there...  Hold out for your Prince!  He will come; until then, Dad has you covered! ;)

Cate Strider: Southmoore Highschool Senior

Many of you know that we are and have been in FULL swing with Senior Portraits!  Of course, they keep us very, very busy, but every session is ALWAYS a blast!  Every senior brings something different to the table, which I love! :)  This one of our 2010-2011 Senior Faces' Models, Caitlyn Strider.  She is definitely a blonde bombshell! :)  We had a blast photographing her with a very outdoorsy feel with trees, tall grass, wood, wood and more wood, and water.  She had it all with every color of outfit from black to white...  A great selection in my opinion! :)  The BEST part about her session was that we actually got to photograph her, ON HER BIRTHDAY! :)...  WHAT A BIRTHDAY PRESENT!?! :)  I mean, I LOVE birthdays and especially when you get to celebrate them MORE than one day!  :)  So, Cate, we hope that you had a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY and can't wait to see what your gorgeous magazine is going to look like with the images you choose. :)

Amber Littlejohn: Moore Highschool Senior
