"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."

"God breathes and the beauty of nature is revealed, You are His most beautiful creation & I am left breathless."

Back in early May, I traveled down to New Jersey for my niece's First Communion.  My sister and brother-in-law asked me to do an impromptu mini photo shoot the day before so they would have some nice shots up around their house for when friends and family came back to celebrate.  We headed out right before the rain set in and in such a short time we were able to capture some beautiful shots.

"Four things let us keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer...

God answers prayer, and God delivers payer." 

"Grace was in her steps, Heaven in her eyes." (John Milton)

"Little girls are precious gifts, wrapped in love serene...

Their dresses tied with sashes and futures tied with dreams."

"The Lord replied: The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you."

Such beauty, inside and out, it touches you deep down in your soul and is there for all to see.

"Little girls dance their way into your heart...

Whirling on the tips of angels wings...

Scattering gold dust and kisses in our paths."

"The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other."

"Without God, you can do nothing.  With God there is nothing you cannot do."

"May you always feel as close to Jesus as you do today,

May you always count on him to gently guide you on your way.

May you always trust in God to answer every prayer.

May you always feel him blessing you with tender, loving care."
