A Time...

To everything there is a

season,

A time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die;

A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal;

A time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;

A time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones;

A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to gain, and a time to lose;

A time to keep, and a time to throw away;

A time to tear, and a time to sew;

A time to silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate;

A time of war, and a time of

peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

I know that whatever God does,

It shall be

forever.

Nothing can be added to it,

and nothing taken from it.

God does it,

that men should

fear before

Him.

Ecclesiastes 3:14

Love, love, love...

Last Saturday, I had the privilege of photographing

this wedding/vow renewal service.

It was beautiful...

and here are a couple pics from that day.

"Love at first sight" is often cured by a second look.
Love is sweet when it’s new, but sweeter when it’s true.

Love never fails.

I Never Got What I Wanted: A Poem

It was Spring, but it was Summer I wanted

The warm days and the great outdoors

It was Summer, but it was Fall I wanted:

The colorful leaves and the cool, dry air.

It was Fall, but it was Winter I wanted

The beautiful snow and the joy of the holiday season

It was Winter, but it was Spring I wanted

The warmth and the blossoming of nature

I was a child, and it was adulthood I wanted

The freedom and the respect

I was 20, but it was 30 I wanted

To be mature and sophisticated

I was middle-aged, but it was 20 I wanted

The youth and the free spirit

I was retired, but it was middle-aged I wanted

The presence of mind without limitations

My life was over, and I never got what I wanted.

Sweet Sisters

So, this shoot was a surprise for their momma,

and all three of us decided that it would be just

great if we could pull this off...

after much bribery and crazy antics behind the lens

this is what we came up with. ;)

SURPRISE!!!

:)

And this one,

this one is a snapshot of defiance.

Sleeping is SO much better than smiling when

"Go-dwanna" asks you to. :)

I LOVE these girls!

It's such a joy to see your best friends grow up,

get married and have children...

so blessed to have these two in my life. :)
