Wedding Photography
Ashley & Amanda had a sweet time photographing a beautiful wedding of some friends-of-friends. The whole family was invited to the wedding. Both girls had a camera and we all enjoyed the fellowship and meeting new people.

Our Sweet's 24th Birthday!
Our sweet Ashley- 24 years old!
Ash and I (mama) got to spend the day together for her special day. It was such a blessing to be able to share so much one on one time with one another! (with a free DB to boot!)
When we got home Mandy had made her this pretty little cake
We are so blessed to have you in our family sweetheart. You have been such a wonderful daughter and friend to me. Your compassion for the persecuted church and for that matter, your compassion for all hurting people is an indicator of your deep loving relationship with your creator and Lord Jesus Christ. The way you serve and minister to your family is a wonderful example of the servanthood and devotion that our Jesus exhibited. As you mature and look to the future we just want to let you know how very special you are to your father and I. How much we adore and cherish every day that we have with you. Thank you for being our little Asher who helped break us into this overwhelming, sobering and blessed job of parenting. Thank you for being patient with us and giving us the daily grace we need. We love you so much.
A Step Back
Ashley was asked to take some photos for a wedding- which just happened to be in my old neck of the woods down in Roseburg. We enjoyed driving by the old ranch that I spent a few years of my childhood in as well as the old country store. So special to show our kiddos some special places.
There was a sign out front advertising honey- Thinking it could prove to be a way to meet the owners and get a peek inside I ventured up to the porch to knock. No one was home but I did peek through the glass front door. Such sweet memories flooded my thoughts. It was a blessed time in my life.
the barn in the forefront was the one familiar to me. The big nicer one behind is a great addition!
It used to look so big!
I loved living on this maple lined lane
Then it was off to the Lookinglass Store, built in 1852!
It was so sweet to show the kid around
Of course everyone had to get candy! Also, I purchased a pint of honey which had been produced by the family who now live in my old farmhouse. That was a treat
It was a sweet day
