noah and hallie.

i had the privilege of photographing a dear old friend's (and old roomie) kiddos today. aren't they beautiful? they were such troopers, in the 40 degree weather with no coats! SO good to see you for awhile melissa! (and we will SOON talk about our sweet daughters with BIG personality. :))

swensons take two.

wanted to post more from this weekend's session, with a sweet little six year old boy who no longer had a fever! had a great time, again. this family is such a blessing. such amazing kiddos and they are that way due to two great parents. thanks for letting me have ANOTHER of your afternoons!!

the swensons.

this family is amazing. they have/are raising SEVEN of the most polite well mannered beautiful children i have come across in a long time. and currently their three youngest are ALL under three! i was so blessed by visiting with them today and watching their oldest kids serve the youngest kids, just a wonderful example of a home that loves the Lord. and this is a plea for prayer for this young family. the precious mom you see in these photos is battling breast cancer. pray with us for healing for her body, peace for her family, strength for her and her husband physically, emotionally and spiritually. this family is suffering well and knows that God is in control and are an inspiration to everyone around them. please lift them up in prayer. and you'll notice there are only six kids in these pics.. the oldest son was sick today, but don't worry, we're gonna go capture him when he feels better!

AND i wanted to explain the chalkboards.. mom took the board and wrote one word to describe that child, and then the kiddo had to guess. it was super cute to watch... and snap... :)
