The Potter's Hands

My daughter and I had the recent pleasure of visiting a local pottery studio/gallery. During our time there, she created two beautiful pieces. They may not win awards in a juried show, but watching her create them with the help of the master potter was such fun! It was wonderful to see her satisfaction as they took the shape she had envisioned for them. They will always be treasured.

Reflecting on this experience made me glad that the Master Potter, always patient and deliberate, is not content to leave me in my current state, but is continually shaping me, smoothing away my rough edges, patching the occasional crack, and ultimately, creating a vessel for His use. I may not see His full plan, but I can trust that I am safe in His hands.

My heart was warmed and won

by this darling, adventurous little girl. Miss "R," I have no doubt that you will go places in this world! And I hope to get to watch you get there. Thank you for letting me photograph you!

I was recently blessed to be able to photograph one of the most beautiful families I have ever known or met. The legacy of love and faith the parents have passed on to their children and grandchildren is such a joy to behold. They are tons of fun to be around, as well! Thank you, Family M!







Hey, who won the annual family Thanksgiving football game?

An extraordinary family...

...an extraordinary story!

Adoption touches lives in such a beautiful way, including the life of my own family. I was blessed to be able to photograph these handsome young men, born in Russia and adopted by loving parents here. Have I mentioned that I love the families I work with?

I'm having so much fun!

And I'm loving the people I've gotten to work with this year! But....one photographer can only do so much. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am now booked through the end of this year. Call or e-mail me to get your appointment scheduled for the early months of 2007. You can take advantage of my current pricing structure by booking your session before December 15. Sessions booked after that date will be subject to my new prices.

I'm excited to be getting closer to launching my website. And you thought it would never happen. Watch here for details!
