I knew I was gonna LOVE hanging out with these guys the moment they told me they brought props. MUSTACHES! I loved how all the cousins interacted with each other too. I can tell they’re all going to be best friends their whole lives. What a privilege for me to capture them.
SO. MUCH. FUN.
Lately, I’ve been getting lots of photo inquiries from people visiting from out of town. People that want to escape the bitter cold winter and enjoy a week or two on the warm beach. I love relaxed, casual sessions…just like this one. We just hung out till the sun went down. It was awesome!
Before you close your eyes to sleep
I have a promise still to keep
As I hold you in my arms.
I pray your little frame grows strong
And that faith takes hold while you are young;
This is my prayer for you.
Hold my hand;
I’ll teach you the Way to go.
Through the joys, through the tears,
The journey of these years,
May you trust Him ‘til the end.
May you trust Him in the end.
This world is not as it should be,
But the Savior opens eyes to see
All that’s beautiful and true.
Oh may His light fill all you are
And the jewel of wisdom crown your heart;
This is my prayer for you.
Hold my hand;
I’ll teach you the Way to go.
Through the joys, through the tears,
The journey of these years,
He is with us ‘til the end.
He is faithful ‘til the end.
You’ll travel where my arms won’t reach
As the road will rise to lead your feet
On a journey of your own.
May my mistakes not hinder you
But His grace remain and guide you through;
This is my prayer for you.
Take His hand
And go where He calls you to.
And whatever comes, seek Him
With all your heart;
This will be my prayer for you.
Father, hear my ceaseless prayer;
Oh keep her in your care.

I KNOW!!! I pretty much lost it too! LOL! Thanks for your sweet comment about my girls, Karen 
The moment Kristyn Getty sang this song at the concert at Coral Ridge on Friday night, I about lost my composure… then at the end I actually saw HER getting emotional and did lose it. What a beautiful song! And the pictures you put with it are so precious! What beautiful girls you have! Thank you for sharing!
I really can’t express the way I feel when I photograph my own kids very well. But I’ll try.
I get sentimental, like really really sad, about the fact that they are growing up way too fast. I was chatting with my sweet grandma the other day and she kept telling me how much I will miss these days. Even the times that I feel most overwhelmed and my patience is stretched to the absolute limit. (which happens more than I ever thought it would b/c I always considered myself a very patient person, hmm) I will miss Pookie hugging me out of nowhere and saying “I lub (love) you, mommy.” And when she wants me to read to her the same book over and over and OVER. And the fact that she wants to bring Bobo (her beloved monkey friend) EVERYWHERE. I will miss Baby C’s funny giggle and her little pointer finger pointing at all the new things she sees, like the birds and airplanes. And when she comes toward me with her mouth wide open b/c she wants to give ‘kisses’.
And the joy on their faces when I push them on the swings…
So adorable!
