I have had the pleasure of taking this family's pictures 5 times & I have loved every second of it!!!
The first time I took their pictures, Erin & Daniel were expecting Sammy. They weren’t due for another two weeks or so, but I guess the whole getting up & down for pictures might have helped the process along.  So a few days later, Sammy was born.
 
   
     The 2nd time I took their pictures, Sammy was 1. We took family pictures & I had no idea what was coming.
 
 
Towards the end of the shoot, Erin pulled an orange sign & said, “You can’t tell anyone about this yet.” And I said, “of course” without knowing what was coming. She turned the sign so I could read it and it said, “I’m going to be a big brother!” I squealed & laughed!! I was so excited beyond what words could say! If you know this family at all, you know that both Sammy & the newest addition are a huge blessing!!!!
 
 
       The 3rd time I took their pictures, Erin was due in at least a month. I took their pictures on Mother’s day weekend. 
 
 
 June 10th, Erin texted me & told me that she was going to have the baby that day.  I was at the library & I called Isaac and asked him to come home for lunch so I could take the car to Kirksville so I could take pictures of their new baby. So on my way, I couldn’t believe that this little baby was also about 2 weeks early. I couldn’t wait to meet this precious miracle!!!

At the hospital, I talked to Erin & Daniel for a while and we laughed about one thing or another.   That day, Daniel had hurt his face & the nurse said that when the baby was old enough, he could tell him that he fell head over heels over him.




30 minutes after I left the room, one of Erin’s nurses came out to tell me that both Erin & baby Noah were doing really well. After they were all cleaned up, I came back in the room to see Erin holding her precious angel. He started crying a little so Erin passed him on to Daniel. Noah cried for a couple more seconds, but when his daddy started singing to him, he stopped crying & fell asleep pretty quickly.
 



 
 
        When Sammy came to meet his little brother, I couldn’t tell how he felt about Noah. But we got some good smiles out of him with his little brother.
 




 
 1 week and 1 day later, we got to take pictures of them again. This has been quite a journey for this family & I feel blessed to have been able to capture these precious moments.
  



Sammy took this picture of Isaac while waiting for mommy & Noah to come for pictures.


























        Daniel & Erin, I hope you like these!!! I love every one of these pictures & the love that shines through them!!! You are a beautiful family!!!!! Thanks for trusting me to take your pictures!

        Sammy, I hope you and Noah become best friends as you get older!!!

Mark & Bevan *Married*

          The morning of the wedding, I woke up to the most beautiful sunrise I have seen in such a long time. I took my camera out & couldn’t stop looking at the sun. It was breath taking. Next thing I noticed while sitting on the porch was a bee on a beautiful purple flower.     Normally I’m afraid of bees, but this time, I couldn’t look at it without looking at how God could create something so beautiful.   A few hours later, my husband & I took a nice walk around the woods. As we walked close to the river, something jumped out in front of me & scared the life out of me. But as soon as Isaac wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear to calm down & breathe, I stopped long enough to see that it was a baby deer, which I have never seen before. The day was going so well, until about an hour before I was supposed to arrive to start taking wedding pictures. It was pouring down HARD!  ...

 It's been quite a while since I have made a post here. A lot of life has happened and I am not in a place to share too much right now. But I will share these unedited pictures because I have yet to get an editing software yet, but I am hoping to start up my photography company again soon! So, I will share these sweet pictures I took of my boys at Myrtle Beach last April. But as I do, I have a question I want to ask. Have you ever heard a song and immediately have this image of what this song is saying and come to tears? Yep, this is definitely me. I first heard the song called, "Rise Up" by Andra Day,  in a kids movie & immediately started crying.  The idea that I was broken down & tired felt so real to me. But I was learning how to fight for myself. I have been hidden for so many years and I couldn't find the fighter in me. But when I heard this song, along with everything I was learning, I decided to "walk it out".  And I rose. I was still afraid,...
