Traci's Maternity Shoot

First of all, I have no idea why all of my pics pictures look over exposed on here, because this is not what they look like on my computer when I am editing... hopefully when I switch everything over to my new blog, it won't be this way! Anyways, the pics are cute nonetheless!

Traci works for Loving Choices of Northwest Aarkansas, and she helps women make informed decisions about an unplanned pregnancy.  They love these girls soooo much and after shooting some of them, I hear the heart of their ministry becoming the heart of these girls! I am so thankful for their ministry and for Traci's heart in guiding these women. 

Check back tomorrow for Jaret's full post!

Sweet, Sweet Caleb

One of my dearest friends has the absolutely sweetest little boy named Caleb. Caleb and I are buddies. Seriously, he comes over to my house every Tuesday, and for some reason, I have become his favorite... Ok, maybe not, but we are buddies none the less.  

Shower Invite

I have gotten to do a little bit of designing cards for different occasions. Mainly it's been just for buddies who are letting me try out different things for them.  It's really fun and I am totally getting the hang of PS, so it makes these things go so much faster.  This is the latest creation...

Jaret

Just a sneak peek at a great photo shoot today! Jaret is a senior at Har-ber High, and president of the FFA.  The truck says it all! More to come (that is if Asa doesn't decide to show up in the next few days!)!

Emily: Senior Shoot Finale

Emily is actually one of my Senior Reps this year, and she wanted to make sure she got a pic for her guard plaque. We made our way out to do a really quick shoot at her high school. Here's a little of what we got!

When Olivia Came to Visit...

About every week, two of my best friends come over to hang out, eat, and talk about Jesus.  Their names are Dayna and Whitney.  Whitney brought a little surprise for us this past week: Olivia.  First of all, I LOVE bulldogs.  If it wasn't for their price tag, I would have one right now! Whitney isn't actually the owner of Olivia, she's actually Olivia's aunt.  I just knew that Eli would have so much fun with Olivia while the three of us chatted and ate.  Well, let's just say that things didn't quite go as smoothly as we thought.  This is mainly because Eli wanted to play with his "putball" without the help of Olivia.  Problem was, Olivia REALLY wanted to play "putball" with Eli.  

Isn't she so cute? How could Eli NOT love her??? 

What do I even need to say about him???? He's just so stinkin' cute! Olivia should LOVE him! Boy did she! Only Eli isn't the touchy feely kind of guy...

Some of my best buddies, Dayna and Whitney.  Whitney is Olivia's aunt. Eli calls Dayna "DiDi" and Whitney "Itty". Everyone looks like they are having fun, right???  Olivia even wanted to show Eli how much she appreciated his letting her play "putball" with him... too bad it wasn't really appreciated by Eli!

So maybe Eli doesn't love Olivia as much as Olivia loves Eli... sigh... welcome to life, my son.

The volleyball got involved, too. If it is round and you can hit, kick, throw, or catch it, Eli wants to play with it. I guess it's in his blood... (I actually met Dayna and Whitney during our time as Razorback softball players.  My hubby, Caleb, is a former Razorback football player.)

These girls really love my sweet baby! I am so thankful to have people in my life who love my kiddos also!

It wasn't a bad night for Olivia, after all... She found someone to play with her by the end of the night!

Isabella

I have the most amazing opportunity to work with Loving Choices Pregnancy Center here in Northwest Arkansas. This sweet little thing and her momma were involved with Loving Choices.  LC has the most amazing ministry... so many women come out of their hands and are empowered to make great decisions in their lives and the lives of their children.  Here is an amazing stat: 95% of abortion minded women choose life when they see the ultrasound of their baby. You can help women all over our area choose life by sponsoring an ultrasound for only $25.  Just $25 can save the life of a child who cannot speak for itself.  Seems like such a small amount for something that is so priceless! Contact Courtney at Loving Choices if you are interested in helping out their ministry in any way!

How could these eyes not melt your heart?

Definitely my favorite shot of the day! How cute is she peeking over the chair???
