“Not every prayer blooms instantly. Some seeds are meant to stay hidden in the soil longer, because God is preparing roots before He shows you flowers.”

I had the pleasure of taking some prom photos for one of my best friend’s littles a couple of weeks ago. Well she’s not so little it seems, anymore. Where has time gone?!? But she’s growing into a beautiful young woman. T’was a perfect Friday evening with a beautiful couple.

Canon or iPhone?? You can buy a big expensive camera, but that’s not all there is to taking a good photograph. It’s all in the ‘eyes of the beholder’, as they say. And it really doesn’t matter what kind of camera you use, good photography can be done with a disposable camera or Polaroid, there’s so many factors that constitute what a good photograph really is. Most all photographs are edited as well and each person has their own editing style that makes it unique to them. There’s an artist in us all just waiting to emerge. Go ahead ladies and gents, get out there and start documenting your life with yiur cameras, you won’t be sorry for it.

“Being a mom means wearing more hats than you ever thought possible. You're the cook, the nurse, the teacher, the cleaner, the scheduler, the comforter, and so much more. And some days, it feels like the weight of it all might break you. But look at you— you're still here, showing up, even when it's hard. You don't have to be perfect to be an incredible mom. You just have to keep going, one messy, beautiful, exhausting day at a time.”

Whew!! Chasing this little guy around was quite the adventure, but I’m pleased at what I was able to capture of him!! Sissy was the perfect little angel && smiled big for all her pictures.☺️ And thanks again Cheyenne for letting me spend the afternoon with you and your littles… ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
