The deacon of our church asked me to photograph he and his wife one day after mass for their 40th Anniversary. I love what I captured. In the foyer of the church there is the most beautiful light that spills through the windows during that time of day. I wanted to share a few of the images with you since they express such beautiful, raw emotion.

For those of you who don't know, our priest passed away on June 3rd. As I was setting up to photograph our Deacon and his wife, Father Jim came out of the Sanctuary and we shared a few words and some laughter....I can still see him there talking to me, smiling even though he wasn't feeling well. That would be the last time I would see or speak to him here on this earth. I am going to miss his articulate wisdom and his wonderful stories...I feel so blessed to have known him and have to believe that I am a better human being because of his words of comfort and spiritual guidance.

Here is another little darling I photographed yesturday. She too has captured a little piece of my heart over the past 6 months. This was also her one year session, although most of her session was inside, I thought it would be fun to take it outdoors and try to get a few more. This is my favorite!

I have photographed this cutie since she was 7 weeks old. Today I did her one year session and wanted to share a few of the images I captured with all of you. I have enjoyed watching this baby grow and change over the past year and she will always hold a special place in my heart!
