AWANA Club Pictures

With four kids, I'm not always as free to volunteer as I might like to be, but since 3 of them attend AWANA and the oldest is a Leader-in-Training, I try to help out as much as I can by taking pictures. I recently did the club photos- a bit of a challenge for a natural light photographer when AWANA meets in the evenings and the sun was getting lower and lower and the shadows longer and longer. But in the end, I think the photos turned out pretty good ;-).

My Newest Cover

Nothing says FUN like a water park, and this local venue offered the perfect spot for shoot this month's cover. Is little Andre a cutie or what?

iheartfaces- Motherhood Challenge





The ladies at iheartfaces have chosen Motherhood as this week's theme. As a homeschooling mom, my whole life is about motherhood right now, and so is an awful lot of my photography! But when I thought of motherhood, it was this shoot that stuck out:



Motherhood-it's so all-encompasing...so interconnected...so defining...and Ashley is in the thick of it right now with 2 little ones. She's such a natural mom, in every sense of the word, and this shoot was great fun.

iheartfaces- Slice of Life Challenge




This week's theme over at iheartfaces is "Slice of Life." In other words, a photo captured spontaneously, just to record the moment- nothing posed, nothing planned.


This was captured over the summer on a family vacation to NY. We were hiking through Watkin's Glen, and apparently the hike up nearly 400 feet and I forget how many steps (but a LOT) was more than my eldest could handle. So as mommy stopped to take "just one more picture", he snuck off and found a quiet alcove to rest in. He never heard me sneak up and take this picture. I wonder what he was day dreaming about?
