Chris & Verity Wedding

2008-12-15T13:11:00.000-05:00

So, after my PC crashed and my external hard drive failed a few months back... I LOST EVERY PICTURE I HAD TAKEN OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, which was about 20,000 - 30,000. I had it looked at locally to no avail. But, they assisted me in sending off for data recovery. They were able to recover most files but all the folders had been wiped away. So I had to hand search all of the pictures on the new drive to gather together those from Chris and Verity's wedding. They have been amazingly patient and most loving as we ALL waited and wondered if the photos had been lost in oblivion never to be seen again. Now, alas, some of the finished products. Their wedding was absolutely gorgeous, it was a sweet day and a joyful honor to document on film. I love you both dearly. May the Lord richly bless your lives with more and more of Himself.
Love & Blessings ~ Heather

Lyndale Holloway, one of the pastors at our church, has two adorable nephews who were visiting from Texas. I had a wonderful time photographing these amazing young men.

They took turns climbing to the very top of the "big" slide to announce from high above the playland, "I AM THE KING!". To which I asked Luke, "Who is the real King?". He answered, "JESUS!!". Amen? Amen! May they not only grow in stature but in knowledge and wisdom of the Lord.

BEBE BLUEBERRY..... Handmade Clothes for Handmade Kids.

My sweet friend, Katie Brou, makes and sells ADORABLE children's clothing. You can check out her work at http://bebeblueberry.blogspot.com/ . These are just a few shots of her spring line that I took. We found some simply fabulous models, don't you think:) Thanks to Bianca, Eliana and Giada for being so patient.......... M&M's work great for photographing toddlers.

As some of you all know, Ian, Katie and the girls have been called by the Lord into full-time vocational missional work. They will be moving to Spain in just a few months:( Which makes me sad and :) happy all at the same time. Thank you Lord for what you are doing in and through this family to bring yourself glory!!!

If you would like to make a purchase with her..... do it now before she leaves the country, literally:)

I had the pleasure of photographing Shawn for his website/advertising purposes. Mr. Shawn Johnston (the former Anne-Kathryn Head's husband) will be opening his chiropractic clinic this year in River Ranch. Please pray for God's favor on his endeavor and also that the Lord would be glorified in the life of this sweet young family. Congratulations Shawn and Anne~Kathryn!!!

The Prudhomme Family

2008-01-10T11:40:00.000-05:00

Before Christmas I was able to spend an afternoon with this amazing family. Grace is an amazing big sister and little Estelle is a fiery one. Sha!! It was great to meet J.B. for the first time and to be with Jill once again. It is a blessing to photograph people who love each other deeply. Thank you for allowing me into your life and home. It was a great pleasure indeed.

Jesus Christ Above All Things

2007-12-23T22:32:00.000-05:00

Thanks for your comment re: the contest, Julie... so good to talk to you this morning. I was going to respond in the comment section but thought it better to make a new post.

Quoting from, "Don't Waste Your Life", by John Piper......

"For redeemed sinners, every good thing - indeed every bad thing that God turns for good - was obtained for us by the cross of Christ. Apart from the death of Christ, sinners get nothing but judgment. Apart from the cross of Christ, there is only condemnation. Therefore everything that you enjoy in Christ - as a Christian, as a person who trusts Christ - is owing to the death of Christ. And all your rejoicing in all things should therefore be a rejoicing in the cross where all your blessings were purchased for you at the cost of the death of the Son of God, Jesus Christ."

So... without Christ crucified, I am nothing and am doubly undeserving of life, breath, family, friends and even placing in photo contests, etc.

Bless you Lord.... for you have not just given us life BUT life abundant!!!
