God bless your beautiful soul, Jodi

Our thoughts & prayers are with the Ford family on the passing of their beautiful daughter/mother/sister/friend. May the love of the Lord comfort & bless you all during this VERY difficult time.

A Trip To Heaven
I took a trip to heaven
But only in my mind
I wanted to know what it's like
To leave all you love behind.
So I closed my eyes, and started to see
Just how beautiful heaven can be.

I could see the pearly gates of white
and behind them was the most radiant light.
I saw an angel as she was passing by
so incredibly beautiful that a tear fell from my eye.
Everyone looked perfect and with the angels they did sing
There are no earthly words to describe the beauty of their wings.

As I sat on a bench in the most incredible garden
I asked God for all of my sins to be pardoned
I took one last look at all of the beauty around
And when I opened my eyes, it was peace that I found.

Another Lil' "Graduate"

HAPPY HAPPY 1st Birthday, precious Lil' one :) WOW, do these babies grow up fast! Mr. & Mrs. "L", it's been such a blessing for me to watch your precious lil' Angel experience so many firsts over the past year. Enjoy your sneak peek. It was wonderful spending the morning with you yesterday.

Awwww, Sweet blessings!

I'm just at a loss for words this week, but I do have to say, I just ADORE this beautiful family & their precious little Angels :) Meet lil' "big man", Mr. "H" (weighing in @ 10 lbs. 4 oz.) and his proud big brother, "E" (as cute as cute can be). Enjoy your sneak peek Mr. & Mrs. "L". I can't wait to show you the rest :)

Time does not "heal" :(

Whoever created my most despised phrase "Time Heals", either lied or has never experienced a significant loss. A year ago today, I was holding my Mother's hand as she took her very last breath here on Earth & our glorious Father carried her Home. The only thing time has done for me is make me miss my Mom and yearn for her even more.

Sometimes there just are no words......

...And the portraits speak for themselves....

Jodi, you and your beautiful children (and family) will always have a special place in my heart. May the Lord comfort and bless you all during this very difficult time.

Double the Sweetness :)

I have had the honor of photographing this BEAUTIFUL family since Miss "L" was 3 months old. Wow, I can't believe she's now turning 3! What a joy it's been for me to watch her grow & change through the years. And with each passing year, she just grows sweeter by the minute! Miss "L" is also VERY proud of her 8 day old baby sister and could not have been a bigger help to her parents and to me. Baby "A" was an absolute DREAM come true. She was a little hesitant of her "portrait debut" at first, but as you can see by her beautiful portraits, once she fell into that deep sleep, she was well worth the wait. :) Mr. & Mrs. "M", it has been a true honor to watch your family grow and change through the years and I could not have felt more blessed by being a part of this very special and exciting time in your lives. You are definitely doubly blessed with "sweetness" with those beautiful baby girls of yours :) Enjoy your sneak.








Of course, I could NOT resist this shot of Dad kicked back in the chair while we were busy photographing his precious baby girl. You deserve it Daddy, she's beautiful :)
