Hi everyone! This is Tim. He's graduating from high school this year. He did a great job modeling for these pics. I told him he could be a model but he told me he'd rather enlist in the Army and JUMP out of airplanes. I couldn't talk him out of it. Congratulations Tim on graduating! And God Bless you in your future.

Well we had a blast tonight.
Sam's friend Kendall came over to hang out with us tonight and we just laughed and posed and giggled and smirked. Totally fun. I love having kids this age. I'll trade this for diapers anyday! haha!! Sam turned on his charm again with these photos...he's getting to be quite the photogenic one isn't he?!
Last weekend Grace and I had the privilege of going on our first mission trip to Mexico. 
I was invited to take pics and while I was completely pooped by the end of the day I was so encouraged by the generosity of spirit I saw that day from my fellow travelers as well as from the kids we came to bless. They turned around and blessed us more than we could have ever imagined.

Hey folks,
We are launching a new Harvest Christian Fellowship blog to give church members a way to share, connect and grow in the Lord together. I'm excited about this project and have been working on building it up since late December. It will soon be unveiled to the public but I wanted to share it with you all. Please visit and comment on what you like about it.
My favorite aspect of this blog is it is a tool we have to make a big church feel smaller and it builds community.
I hope you enjoy!

I had an amazing time with Amy and her little one Troy who just celebrated his 6 month birthday. I fell in love instantly with his quirky little smile and bald head. By the end of the session Grace and I were competing for who got to hold him while Amy packed up. And I think you'll agree that he is a great little model too!
I still have a card to go through but here are a few favorites so far...
It took us 8 years but we finally made it up Mt. Rubidoux. Dawn inspired me as she has been going up almost everyday. We packed a picnic dinner/lunch and ate it here on these rocks where I took this first picture. The sun was RIGHT THERE but to me it just seemed heavenly. So warm and bright.
The recent rains have wiped out all the smog and given us lovely green grass. It was the perfect thing to do today. I'm pooped out! Going up was hard for me but I made it!
The kids asked to do it again tomorrow...so I think despite the 24 texts to their friends during the hike...they liked connecting with nature. I included this picture as proof that their phones are their constant companions.
Ray's new CD is coming out soon and he asked me to take pics for the cover. He wanted a clean studio look so we set up the lights and here's the result. You look like a rock star to me Ray!
Thanks to his wife Erin for being his inspiration during this session! We are all looking forward to an on location shoot in the coming weeks...so stay tuned.

What a blessing it was to photograph Jovie!!
Some of you might recall the pictures of her parents, Lauren and Ty a few months back. Oh I just love these pictures. What a sweet sweet baby and a beautiful family. God Bless you Jovie.
I had the privilege of shooting some baby pics of the newest Wiggins on the block. Mr. Asher Israel Wiggins. Steve and Misti now have four little ones and they are all gorgeous! Welcome little Asher to the world. We love you. Hopefully there will be more to come...he's a cutie isn't he??
Praise the Lord for everything that happened in 2007. I was challenged to grow, to look at my motivations, to see God working and to follow His leading in so many areas. God is good. I pray that I will be as open to what the Lord has in store for me in 2008...and I pray that it will be a little smoother road. :)
God bless you all and I pray that you will have a wonderful coming new year. Tomorrow is a new day and a new year!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
Well, what can I say. We had a great time on Saturday. It was a joy to photograph the Ives, and there are so many pics that were good! But I chose I small sampling to share. I hope you enjoy! 
She was adamant that she wanted her hair cut. How could I say no? It's her head right? I am still mourning the loss of the long locks but she is thrilled with her new hair and I have to admit it looks pretty cute. For those of you who haven't seen it yet. Here is the new Grace! 
I had the pleasure of shooting Lauren and Ty and their bundle of joy that will be coming this January. Who could ask for a better model? She was gorgeous. This was the shoot I bought the lights for and while I still have a lot to learn I know I'm gonna like having them around. Here are a couple of my favorites so far. I haven't gone through them all yet. Hope you enjoy.
