"Children are the hands by which we take hold of Heaven"

I always enjoy when the focus of my lens is those that are closest to my heart.  And right from the beginning, they have been my subjects time and time again.  They continue to help me hone my skills and find my style.  Late in the summer, we were together for an extended weekend and were able to fit in a quick photo shoot - and when I say quick, I mean about 20 minutes.

"Grandparents, like hero's, are as necessary to a child's growth as vitamins."

"I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes...

 To the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known."

"What is it that you express in your eyes...

 

It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life."

 "You are loved just as you are right this very moment...

The world has become more wonderful just because you are here."

"He is my most beloved friend & my bitterest rival

My confidant and my betrayer

My sustainer and my dependent

And scariest of all, my equal."

"You Aren't Wealthy Until You Have Something Money Can't Buy."

Back in August, I headed to Durand Eastman Park with this lovely family.  In the couple of hours we spent together we came across so many great places within the park to take advantage of.  It almost looks like we had 3 different mini shoots! 

"Time is made up of captured moments and things shared...

 And time spent together...

 Become the memories that the heart never forgets."

"I walk beside you, where ever you are, whatever it takes, no matter how far."

"Where we love is home...

Home that the feet may leave, but not our hearts."

"The beauty of a girl cannot be mimicked, fabricated, or created by human means, it only occurs naturally."

"With you in my life I am blessed."

"A daughter may outgrow your lap...

 But she will never outgrow your heart."

"Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments...

 Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole...

Life is a succession of such moments....

And to live each, is to succeed."

"We can only be said to be alive

In those moments when our hearts

Are conscious of our treasures."

"Born Together, Friends Forever"

This summer has been a busy one. Between work, photo sessions, training for a marathon and organizing a charity, I haven't had much time to update the blog.  But hopefully you have been able to keep up with my most recent work on my Facebook page.  If you haven't had the chance yet - go ahead & check it out!

Here's a quick update of the adorable Miller twins back in the early summer!  They were four months in these pictures and if you think they are adorable through the lens, you should see them in person!

"A joy that is shared, is a joy made double."

"You are loved just as you are....

Right this very moment...

 The world has become more wonderful just because you are here."

"Voyage upon life's sea,

To yourself be true, 

And whatever your lot may be, paddle your own canoe."

"There is no other love like the love for a brother...

There's no other love like the love from a brother."

"You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore....

But let there be spaces in your togetherness...

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you."

"Being a brother

is better than

being a super hero."

"With you in my life I am blessed."

After work one evening, earlier this summer I jumped in my car and met this family for a quick photo session.  They had a place picked out down a trail by their house and it was perfect!  I loved the results and am so happy to share them with all of you!

"A family is a haven of rest, a sanctuary of peace and most of all, a harbor of love."

"To my sister: remember every day no matter what I've said...

Here's what I want to say I will always love you...

Be with you to the end when no one else is around I'll be your friend."

"A mother's joy begins before you take your first breath...

And it has no end." 

"A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way."

"A daughter may outgrow your lap....

But she will never outgrow your heart." 

"I walk beside you, where ever you are...

Whatever it takes, no matter how far."

"A sister is God's way of proving He doesn't want us to walk alone."

"In your face I see all the beauty of a flower, in your voice I hear all the splendor of the sweetest song." 

"To have a loving relationship with a sister is not simply to have a buddy or confidant...

It is to have a soul mate for life." 

"Kids: they dance before they learn

there is anything that isn't music."
