inspiration

2007 is turning into an such an amazing year. I am so thankful for my inspiration and passion lately :)


Psalms 40

1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is the man
who makes the LORD his trust,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.
5 Many, O LORD my God,
are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us
no one can recount to you;
were I to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to declare.
11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD;
may your love and your truth always protect me.
12 For troubles without number surround me;
my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails within me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to save me;
O LORD, come quickly to help me.
16 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say,
"The LORD be exalted!"
17 Yet I am poor and needy;
may the Lord think of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O my God, do not delay.

The Moens!

I shot meg's maternity pictures the week before she was due back in September of 06. They have to be the most adorable family I have ever met! Their first shoot was all over the place, in a sunflower field and at the beach. For some more family pictures and pictures of the new and amazing Isabella we went to a brand new park in Paso Robles, it was BEAUTIFUL. It was such a gorgeous spring day and we had tons of fun!

Shani + AJ Engagement

Shani & AJ are a beautiful couple that complement eachother so well. I met them for the first time at our engagement session, because it was Shani's aunt, Jill, that booked me (Shani was busy at work with a very important, high profile case). Their wedding, now less than a month away, will take place at the beautiful Hidden Hills Bed & Breakfast in Templeton, CA. We hung out Wednesday past at the beach and got some really cute photos of them having fun and being silly. Can't wait till the wedding!

sleep well, eat breakfast, stay hydrated, don't lock your knees...

and hopefully this won't happen on your wedding!
