One Starry Night.

sweet caroline.

 Caroline is indeed sweet and sooo pretty.

She was also quite snuggly the day we met for pictures.

 Beautiful family.

This is a personal fav of mine. 

I love her little half smile...safe in mommy's arms.

Finally.

Let's put on our coats and play on the playground!

Sweet freedom.

Sweet Caroline.

Water into Wine.

My picture this week is inspired by a song we're singing on Sunday by Chris Tomlin.

Water He turned into wine

Opened the eyes of the blind.

There's no one like You

None like You.

Into the darkness You shine

Out of the ashes we rise

There's no one like You.

None like You.

Our God is greater

Our God is stronger

God, You are higher than any other

Our God is healer

Awesome in power

Our God

Our God

And if  our God is for us

Then who could ever stop us?

And if our God is for us

Then what could stand against?

I'm so grateful for the many ways I've seen Him at work this year.

Taste and see...the LORD is good.

Happy Thanksgiving!

friends of friends.

 Friends of friends.

It seems we're meeting more and more of those.

The Hrabiks are friends with the Ritters (whom we've known forever).

After our summer session with the Ritters, http://susanchambersdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/06/overflowing.html

Diane contacted me to set up a fall session for her family.

Anyhow, I love meeting my friends' friends.

It feels comfortable somehow.

We had a great time (and a beautiful morning, I might add)

capturing this busy season of the Hrabik's lives.

They have one in elementary school, one in middle school, and one in high school.

And all were a delight!

bring your coats.

 We recently met up with the Mosleys for their annual fall session.

It was cold.

No other way to say it.

"Bring your coats,"  I told Yashica.

They were taking them on and off throughout the shoot.

Michael wasn't going to come out of his coat-cacoon until absolutely necessary...

Despite the November chill, their pictures turned out beautifully...

because they are beautiful.

My Boy.

He is over the top in so many ways.

Fifth Grade Reading List.

I've been reading these books with students for years and years.

They are like old friends who make me laugh and cry and think.

fun and romance.

 Fun and romance.

That's what Tasha and Malik wanted their engagement pictures to reflect.

That was an easy assignment, actually.

They are full of both.

Tasha's daughter Jasmine joined in

to make for a wonderful morning capturing the love this soon to be family shares.

Awww....love this...

 I love these images that John caught.
Fun and romance indeed.

Blessings to Tasha, Malik, and Jasmine in the days ahead!

l-o-v-e.

 Luke and Noah are such cute little boys and want to share some love.

Well, okay, Noah needed a little help holding his letters,

but that's only because it was so COLD outside!

Despite the early morning chill, we caught some cute pictures of the boys running and playing.

I love this picture of Luke, who is turning four...

 Just in case you couldn't tell what color the sucker was...

 so cute...

Anson Family 2011.

moore cousins.

There's nothing like playing with cousins.

hugging.

chasing.

giggling.

kissing.

snuggling.

pretending.

running.

memory making

cousins.

We took pictures of these cute kiddos last fall for Grandma.

It's so much fun to see how they've grown. 

I think they've only gotten cuter...

if that's even possible!

 Gotta share one more of smilin' Miles...

 The zip line was so much fun...you can almost hear them laughing and squealing!

Miles was actually singing a little song while he zipped along.

Cousins are those childhood playmates who grow up to be forever friends.
