CHRISTMAS

These pictures and colors reminded me of Christmas.
During Grace's piano lesson, I wandered her teacher's yard. What fun--time with nature and my camera.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'M 1 TODAY

Happy Birthday, one year old! What a cutie! More to come . . .

FURRY FACES

I am getting ready to enter another photo challenge. The topic is "Furry Faces". It can really be any type of animal, insect, bird, reptile or creeping thing. I took these all while we visited a little farm in Leavenworth, WA. Which one should I enter?

Four words for you, Lisa . . . your kids are gorgeous!

PURE FASHION

This was an awesome modesty fashion show the Young Women in my church put on, along with 2 other wards. The girls were great! They are truly beautiful--all of them! I was asked to take the pictures for that night. Here's a compilation of those that worked out. It was a difficult situation with low lighting. My camera on many of the shots, literally wouldn't auto-focus and my flash contraption broke, so I had to quickly improvise. Enjoy! And hopefully I didn't leave anyone out.

To give credit where credit is due . . .

A lot of wonderful women from my ward dedicated many hours and shared their talents to put on such a spectacular show. Others lent their jewelry, props, fashion accessories.

Businesses that contributed:
Monique's Boutique
Northwest Hair Academy
Beehive House Bridal

It was truly a spectacular event! THANK YOU!
