photography // toddlers::avenlea

    This is Avenlea. She is so adorable with her big brown eyes. She and her mama are just fabulous. I know your gonna be a lovely young women one day, Avenlea. These are probably one of my favorite sessions ever. Mainly because of the subject and how well the photos turned out. Just thought I would share a few wonderful pictures of her, so enjoy.  Please do not edit, crop or take any of my photos. 

photography // mountains

Recently we took a trip to the mountains and I have captured a few moments on camera for you! There were so many adventures that we went on. It was a great time to take a moment and reflect on what God has done for us. It was incredible because God let it snow on Christmas Eve and it stayed until we left! It was not much, but hey, better than none! I will take what I can get. I have grown to love exploring the mountains even more during this trip. Hope you enjoy and have a lovely Friday!

 This stairway is endless. I mean, endless.

 This was so much fun. It was a little nerve-wrecking because it lead over the creek (high above the ground) and we had no idea if it was stable or not. We did check the rope, but we had no idea what we were doing.  But us wreck-less teenagers just went for it! Ha.

Love this photo. Love it.

 It's SNOWING! Yay. For a southern girl this is a BIG deal. :)

 Take a moment, and let's just realize that Moriah caught her first fish! And I was forced to hold it (hence the gloves, although it was very cold).

 Katniss Everdeen moment. Woah.

 This lovely dog sure did love the ear protection. Ha. Not.

Thank you so much for reading have a wonderful Friday!

moments jar

     I am so excited to share with you my moments jar for 2014! I saw this on Pinterest and thought I would make my own. I used a mason jar and painted the lid. Then I cut up a bunch of pieces of paper to write on throughout the year. In this jar you can write happy, joyful, sad, and amazing moments. I am even going to write prayer requests and see what God has done with them at the end of the year. With everything I write down I will also write the date on the paper. I cannot wait to start this! Enjoy! Happy New Year!
