{Reverend Cecilia} March 2015

Sometimes my friends are really amazing. Like friends who get ordained.

Cecilia said that planning her ordination service was akin to planning her wedding. 

Making sure the right people were invited and had a spot. 

Making sure all of the important bits got covered. 

Booking the location and the right date. 

Making sure it represents YOU and is not too generic or too personal.

Here are a few great shots of that afternoon. 

You might notice that in addition to a beautiful sanctuary, 

it was also a beautiful day, 

and she has a beautiful baby :)

::|Zoe is Two!

When I see Zoe today, I still see her as a little girl, a baby, a toddler.

Then I pull out the pictures from when she was a few weeks old and one year old, 

and I start to get all misty-eyed and I use a crazy "I'm going to pinch your cheeks" voice and say things like, 

"Oh my goodness, she's just getting so big!"

This newly two-year-old is quite fantastic. She can identify letters and count. She loves kitties and puppies.

She will scrunch up her face to laugh and stare you down in wonder.

She loves blocks and dressing up. She loves selfies.

And she doesn't mind photo shoots outside or at my apartment :)

Christmas is a magical time.

The glitter of snow.

The glow of lights.

The gathering of family.

Charlene got her Christmas wish, all of her grandchildren in one room at one time!

These crazy folks invited me into their home to capture these crazy kids!
