A White Quilt ~ iPhone Style

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields,
 

 

that it kisses them so gently?

 

And then it covers them up snug,

you know,

 

 with a white quilt;

 

and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings,

 

 

 till the summer comes again.” 





 

 

~Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass



Shelby...A Very Special Gift

There are some things  in life

I consider  to be a very special gift...

 

and one of those things is being able to

witness the growth of someone.

Watching them mature and discover

their gifts and goals.

 

 

Such is the case with this young woman.

 

 

I've had the privilege of knowing Shelby

 

 

her entire high school career.

 

And she has grown into such a beautiful person

with a smile as big as her heart!

 

 

Shelby has a love for a number of states...

planning on attending college in

Kansas

Rooting for the Colts from

Indiana

And loving her favorite college team, the Buckeyes, from

Ohio

all while living in the state of

Missouri!

 

 

 

Who knows where this future teacher will land?!!

 

 

But whatever state winds up with her,

it will be blessed!

 

 

Shelby,

I love your smile

and the person you have become!

 

Best of wishes to you when you start

the next chapter of

your life!

It has been such a pleasure watching you grow!

Rob&Sine and a Farm

I love

outdoor shoots

and

My part of Missouri

 is full of treasures

that serve as the perfect backdrop.

So

imagine my pleasure

when this session was held on location

at the 

family's farm....a true treasure...

with a barn!

Horses!

Woods to stroll!

and

Two of the sweetest girls!  Ever!

 

Rob & Sine,

thank you for sharing your homestead.

The four of you

and your beautiful land

truly were a

 photographer's delight!



Nolan...From the Heartland

Nolan

meaning 

Noble. Champion.

 

 

 

 

This young man of the

heartland

has grown up among

Indiana cornfields.

 

 

And his

heart

 

 

 

 

is as big as the acres he works.

 

 

He has an affinity for trucks,

 

 

 

 

hunting,



 

 

 

 

and his love of the

land has made him an avid member

of the FFA

 

 

 

 

whose mission is to develop

leadership, personal growth, and career success

through agricultural education.

 

Great job, FFA,

your mission is accomplished in this young man!

 

 

He has his eye on a goal...

 

 

...of going off to college

and further his education

in Agriculture!

 

 

Nolan,

I have no doubt you'll meet your goal.

 

 

 

 You are noble.

And with a champion like you,

the future of our country is in good hands!

 

  

 

Rodeo! Fun w/Fusion!

Rodeoing is in my blood, 

not due to my ancestry,being born to two city-slickers,

but rather

due to growing up in north central Florida

where I had the privilege of being befriended by two rodeo families

who let me tag along with them to do some barrel racing. 

(thanks, Crofts & Strombecks!)

Let me just say...

those Southern rodeo announcers sure had trouble, or fun,

with my name as I barrelled into the arena...

"Next up...

Michelle DeeeeeeeGeeeeeeeOoooooooVannnnnnnEeeeeeeeee"!

By the time they were done pronouncing my name,

I was already done with the cloverleaf and heading back to the finish line!

So naturally,
 I took great pleasure in working on this following video and images...

for two reasons...

I LOVE fusion,

I LOVE rodeos!
