Psalms 20:7

Have a wonderful day! Kal

Shannon and John E-Sesh

This was such a fun e-session!  I shot Shannon’s family photos for Mother’s Day this year so I was really looking forward to seeing her again and meeting John her fiance.  They are such a cute couple!!!! And they picked wonderful places for their session.  John is such a talented guitar player so Guitar Center was an excellent choice.  Can’t wait for the wedding you two!

The Kids Get Down at The Breakers

What a fun day!!!! You’re going to love these kids, they are so cute.  Also, they did a wonderful job having their pics taken!!!! 

Alejandro the King!

Sebastian the little Prince

Valeria the little Princess :)

I love the one of Alejandro looking at Sebastian, he love his brother and sister so much :)

I love this little series…especially the last one!!!!

Jared, Amber and little Moses

Our dear friends are here in Florida for a few weeks.  Check out what they do HERE!!!    God is doing amazing things through TTI and it will be such a blessing to you if you pray and get involved! 

Jared and Amber are such a great couple.  The last time they were here, little Moses was just a baby.  Now he’s seven and a half months!!! Time is really flying.  We really miss them so it’s wonderful to see them :)

A Little Rest Goes a Loooong Way

A month ago I was feeling so overwhelmed.  My mouth has a hard time saying ‘no’ to things-something that my body doesn’t much like about my mouth.  It got to the point that I knew I needed to make a change.  I was especially feeling convicted because through the Bible and people in my life, I knew that God required us to trust Him and REST!  So Brendan and I decided that we would manage our time better by planning times for rest.  It’s never something I usually plan for unless we have a vacation, but it’s come to my attention that if I don’t plan rest, I’ll inevitably find something to work on or something to schedule. 

Ever since we started this little “project” I’m feeling a lot more rested and less stressed about things.  I felt that scheduling a day or two of rest would really put me behind in work, but since God has commanded us to rest, He has also been faithful in providing help in every situation just like He said he would.

Our first little planned day was in June.  Brendan and I drove to Saint Augustine for the day.  It was so much fun.  We walked the streets and explored all the one-of-a-kind stores, read about the history and saw a canon go off, and we ate dinner at a restaurant that looked like a house with a huuuuge open deck right on the creek.  Here’s a little taste of the trip-

Happy 5 Years B!

So, this is a little late, but I’ve had this post in mind for a little while :) July 1st was Brendan and my five year anniversary!  It’s so hard to believe that it’s been five years, time is flying!  I’m so happy to be married to Brendan!  He just brought me some strawberries and Nutella for breakfast :)  that’s what a great guy he is.  My favorite thing, is that he is honestly my best friend.  I love just hanging out with him, just chillin’ at the house.  He makes me laugh so much and I truly believe that he’s the funniest at home when it’s just to two of us.  Another thing I love about him is how he is always willing to change and work on things.  He isn’t all “this is me so deal with it!”  He always wants to be better. 

We met at church about 7 years ago, and I just loved his passion for Jesus and how we wanted to live for God.  The number one thing that makes our marriage work is God-it’s by His grace.  Sometimes we can get so mad about something and then when we take time to pray about it, it’s amazing how God works things out. 

Well, I guess what I want to say is…Brendan I love you.  Thanks for a great 5 years my dear :)

Mommy, Daddy and Big Sis

Brendan and I have had the pleasure of working with this wonderful fam on a few occasions.  On the way to the session, I was thinking about the first time we met Sommer to talk about her wedding and now we’re actually getting to photograph maternity pics for them!  It’s a huge blessing to get to be a part of the special moments in someone’s life-especially these guys!

Paul is really funny and kept his girls laughing through the whole session, and Kam…well she’s a little model just like her stunning mommy.

Always, always, always love working with you guys :)

Just hanging around

Just love these two :)

*sigh*

love this one of Sommer :)

Stephania and Arshley’s Wedding

I can say so much about this couple!!!  They are so sweet and artistic and they love God and really seek to honor Him.  You might recognize them actually!  Brendan and I shot Arshley’s proposal, their e-session, and we also did a photoshoot for Arshley’s website.  He’s an artist-very talented!  Well through that time, we really feel like we’ve gotten to know them and really consider them friends. 

We hope you enjoy their photos!  Please leave a comment and give em so loooove :)

Join us in praying for Arshley and Stephania.  That God would bless their marriage and protect it.  That their  love would grow and that they would be a testimony to others. 

She’s soooo beautiful!!!!  And she looked breath-taking on her wedding day!!!!

Don’t even ask :)

The center pieces are so cool!!!!

The Schartner Fam

Luke and Jenny are friends of ours so we were really looking forward to this session with them :)

Ellie and Kira are so cute!!!! They did a great job during the shoot (I think it’s because mom is a photographer so they get lots of practice!!!!)  That’s right, Jenny has an amazing photography company called Captured Photography by Jenny. www.youreventscaptured.com

It’s such a blessing having a fellow photographer friend who faces the same joys and challanges as me. 

Schartners, thanks for a great day :) Love you guys.

Little cry moment :)

We shot of few photos promo photos for Jenny.  She’s so beautiful!!!!

This is the beach where Luke propsed to Jenny :)

While they were taking these pics, Brendan was on kid duty.  Good with children? You be the judge :)

The Canola Family

What a wonderful fam!  Andres and Luisa are so in love with their little Thomas- who by the way was soooooo good during our session!  No crying and fussing from this little guy :) 

Watching these two new parents admire their precious son was a real blessing for me to see.  I really admire and look up to parents like that. 

I hope you enjoy the photos :)
