Kelsey, the Model

My lovely cousin/sister Kelsey volunteered to do a photo shoot with me! She has such a great somber look that most people can't pull off! We had fun and she laughed at my photographer suggestions like good cousins do.

And now behold: Kelsey, the Model

Love and miss you Kels!!

The Reineke's {baby#2}

My youth pastor and his wife were expecting their second baby here recently... NEWSFLASH!!! She is here!!

Norah Elizabeth arrived on September 16th at 8:29 AM. Her little lungs weren't quite ready yet and she is in the care of the wonderful nurses and doctors God sent for her. Pray for sweet baby Norah, brother Collin, Brad, and Kathryn that peace would overwhelm their lives and that the hand of the Ultimate Healer would come and mend their little girl!

Below are some of the maternity pictures I had the pleasure of capturing:).

I love this little family and their new addition!!

Pray for Baby Norah!

One Thousand Gifts

If you have never read One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp, I highly recommend it! She uses such eloquence and poetic(ness?) that I don't even feel like I'm reading a self help book but more like a novel that has a great message!

I'm only to chapter three, so for me to take time to write a blog post (which never happens, at least not with actual words) you know it has to be good!

On another note, I took a glass tea bottle, baby's breath from a wedding, fourth of July burlap{on sale for $2 at Hobby Lobby}turned inside out, lace {antique store}, and a denim rosette and made this beaut for our newly painted bathroom.

Final pictures shall be posted!
