Portraits: Dustin

Over Christmas back I twisted my brother's arm and convinced him to do a session with me. He really didn't want to, but he loves his big sister so much that he did not want to disappoint her. Photographing him was super fun. He cracks me up! There were times I was actually on the ground laughing so hard. He is a cool dude and I am so proud of him.

Happy New Year!

Wow. Can you believe it is 2009? Life goes by so fast. I am looking forward to this coming year. So many things I want to accomplish, places I want to go, and people I want to see. A new year is a great time for new beginnings. So start living!

My new year's resolution is to start getting out of bed earlier and making more of my morning. I hit the snooze button way too much. It is time to get up, read my bible, make breakfast, workout, and utilize the early morning hours. This will be tough for me. So help me out! Ask me how I am doing with this resolution. A little accountability really helps!

Please share with me your new year's resolution. I would love to hear them all.


Below is a card I made for some dear friends of mine. Happy New Year!

Enjoying Company

Its been so long!

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. I went home to Indiana for Christmas and just did not have the time. But I have so much to share with you guys. I have images from Christmas, my niece's dedication, and even a couple of photo sessions. So below are some teasers of future posts to entice you to check back here in the next couple of days. More coming this week!

Preview: Isabell's dedication

Today was my precious niece's dedication at our church back home. I cant wait to show you all the images. Here is a preview for you. This is the first time I have seen her since she was born. I am in love with her!

Amazing People: Jo

I am sorry this took me so long to post. But I would like you to meet my friend Jo. She is an amazing person. She is such a servant and would do anything for anyone. She has so many gifts and abilities. She loves to be organized and has a talent for finance and budgeting. Really, its awesome. Her and her husband are actually debt free! What an awesome testimony. She sets goals and makes them happen. I admire her. She also just had a baby! She is going to be an astounding mom. I can't wait to watch that unfold!

Thanks Jo for being a great friend. Congrats on your new baby girl!

Baby Hardwick

Our dear friends Josh and Jo met their daughter yesterday at 11:07. She is so precious. These pictures were taken not even an hour after she was born. It was so awesome to see the new dad holding his baby girl. Josh and Jo are going to be amazing parents. This baby is already to blessed!
