The Photographer's Prayer

I found this the other day on a blog and just thought it was perfect. I pray before every session...I always ask him to help me capture that perfect moment...I truly believe that we can do all things through him (it says so in scripture) and I always ask for him to work through me. I have my own words that I use, but never do they sound like this. (I am so happy that he knows my heart, because I have never thought I say the "right" words in prayer) It is beautiful. :)

Dear God,
As I bring my subject into focus and prepare to make each portrait,
never let me forget that I’m creating treasures for some family,
a keepsake for loved ones.
Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others,
that I may draw out into the light, the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts.
Help me, oh Lord, to be an artist,
collecting the beauty of every soul,
the glow of youth, the wisdom of age, the gentleness,
the laughter or tears of each life that is precious in thy sight.
Deeper than a means of livelihood,
give me the perspective to see my art as a service to others,
making life richer and more memorable.
And, dear Lord,
between the lights and shadows,
the ups and downs
and the rolling years,
keep me from getting out of focus or off center,
so that my life and work
may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment.
Amen!

PS I am officially caught up on proofing!!! Wahoo....I am not out of the woods just yet. I am now working on orders...So, if you are waiting for one...hang in there. I am still working like crazy trying to play catch up :) Have a wonderful day!

Sneak Peak :)

I was just working on these pictures..and, oh my...these boys just make me smile!


A sweet, beautiful family!

These 2 littles girls are so precious!!! "B" looks like Shirley Temple! She is so beautiful...look at the curls :) Her little sister gave me a workout! When kiddos are 18-24 month range...I usually plan for dancing, yelling, acting out beyond my imagination :) I always wonder what I look like in the eyes of an adult...ok, I don't think I wanna know. I guess you just do what you gotta do! It always nice and helpful when the parents are relaxed (especially dad) and they totally were!

Every one who is waiting on proofs/sneak peaks...hang in there. :)

Look as this sweeeeeet family.... :) Aren't they precious!
They had about a 3 hour notice for this session...I had a rescheduled session on this day and thought what the heck...I'd just give them a call to see if they wanted to take this appt instead of waiting...She literally had 3 hours to get ready for it! And she even went shopping before the appt! Dayna, you rock!
Haven't been able to work on your pics just yet...but, wanted to at least get a few sneak peaks done. Can't wait to work on all of them!
Baby is so precious!!! and GORGEOUS eyes!
