Mikaela ~ Beautiful Name/Beautiful Girl

 This senior

 

 

has learned an important lesson

early in life...

 

how to balance

determination

 and the

 intensity

of achieving one's goal

 

 

 ....while having just

 plain ol' fun reaching that goal!

 

 

She

has her eyes on the prize of the

University of Colorado...

 

 

with the plan of leaving that college,

degree in hand,

  to find

 solutions to our environmental problems.

 

 



 

 And I have no doubt

she'll have her fun

 

 

 while

 achieving that goal also!

 

 Mikaela,

 

 

equipped with your

contagious smile

 

 

and your smarts and your determination,

 

 I know that

 our earth

 will be in better hands

in a few years to come.

When

 you walk away with your

next goal in life!

 

The

 best wishes

 being sent your way

 as you look forward to your

next chapter.

Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Small Town Hoopla

There is so much I love about

 living in a small town....

 

one being all the excitement and hoopla that surrounds

an occasion that,  in a big-city-setting,

 might slip by with barely a bat of an eye.

 

One such occasion that we had in the recent past

was the grand opening of the

B&B Theatres Patriot 12...



 

...stadium seating,

wall-to-wall curved screens,

and

gourmet. made-to-order. hamburgers!

 

So,

Patriot 12,

I plan on becoming well acquainted with you...

 

I see...

 many date nights in my future,

fun Mom/Daughter times out,

and

a few ladies' get-togethers thrown into the mix.

 

Thanks for bringing this excitement

to our

Greater Waynesville/St. Robert/Ft. Leonard Wood

area!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Sun's Light and Rain Droplets

 

 

 

"Look, a refraction
 of the sun's light

 by rain droplets!!,"

said no one to nobody never.
(and, yes, I do know the double negative rule...in this case, triple negative...lol)

 

Missouri
 

 

But,
 

"Look, a rainbow!!"
 

is probably one of the most
 universally said phrases
that is

always voiced with a tone of excitement.
 

 

  Hawaii  

(An ancient Hawaiian proverb ~ “Kau ka ‘ōnohi ali‘i i luna.” “The Royal eyes rest above.”),

 

Obviously,
when I see a rainbow
I can't help to pull over
for the shot
(or, in one case, leave a very
competitive family card game
when the rainbow was spotted out the window)
They are definitely on my
"favorites" list,
not only for their beauty
and scientific wonder,

Florida

but also because of this...
"I have placed my rainbow in the clouds."
~God~
a reminder of His promises to us!


 



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

This young woman has caught a comet by its tail,

and, oh my goodness!, is she is enjoying her ride!

Sarah,

I have a feeling

I will have new favorite movies

Miss K.....And Dreams

 

 

 

This sweetheart of a girl

has a dream

(well, a few actually),

but the one dream we will focus on here

is her

dream

to one day

be a

model.

 

 

 

I think that day has come!

 

 

 

In fact

her dreams can cause her to be

a double threat...

 

 

on both sides of the camera!

(I see an assistant in my future!)

 

  

 

 

Miss K,

 

 

 

keep on smiling;

 

 the whole world

will smile with you...

 

they won't be able to help themselves!!

Hope for the Future...

A boy is Truth with dirt on its face,

Beauty with a cut on its finger,

Wisdom with bubbly gum in its hair,

and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.

~Unknown

The best thing about my job is witnessing the innocence and hope in the eyes of little ones!  

A few months ago I was able to meet this little man and his sister.  I worked with hay.LO Photography to capture the little princess turning three.  This week we were blessed to see their smiling faces again for Little T's six month session!  

Thank you Mom and Dad for allowing us to capture these special moments for your family!   

And a huge thank you for your service and sacrifices as a military family!

Beauty from Within

I remember the first time I photographed the beautiful Christina at a high school prom.  She stood out from all of the other dolled up Juniors and Seniors because of her beautiful personality.  I was honored to capture her radiating smile once again on a snowing spring day!  

“The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows.” 

― Audrey Hepburn

  

Christina, You are truly beautiful from the inside out and don't let life take that away from you!
