My first time meeting baby Shaylee, was when she was about 8 days old... to watch her personality come to life as she has begun to crawl and explore her surroundings has been wonderful. Pictures during a baby's first year of life are so beautiful, the images truly bring to life the essence of the moments their personality began to take shape. Can't wait to see how active she becomes in the next 6 months! I am blessed by the life I am living and even more blessed by the people who have touched my heart.

It is always a joy to do a 2nd maternity session for an expectant mother...two years ago we did Kaitlin's first session as we awaited the arrival of baby boy, now we are smiling with joy awaiting a precious baby girl! This was a fun and laid back session, already can't wait to do the newborn session in the next few weeks. As usual, I love working with your family and am praying for a healthy, beautiful baby that I know will be so loved!

I must say that a weekend engagement is an exceptional way to start off my week! I am happy to report that the man of my dreams asked me to be his wife on our day trip to Leavenworth on Saturday. I have found myself at a complete loss for words, a flood of emotions overwhelming me as I know without any doubt that God has been and will continue to be the director of our love story. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with this incredible man, my future husband!

I always think it's fun to look back at where I've been and what has transpired from moments that define the person I am becoming. I decided to take a few seconds to collect images that show how I saw the world in 2009. From a stint in Europe, a wedding in Chicago, students rallying on the hill in Washington DC, a visit to the Lone Star State, ten day road trip up and down the west coast, a spontaneous cruise to the Caribbean, family vacations, beautiful weddings, adorable babies, seniors leaving their mark, meeting the man of my dreams and again, being thankful that I get to experience this pathway I am on. As we begin February {the month of love} take time to laugh, be moved and love those around you. 2010 is going to be a year of defining as well as refining my character, my business and the passion I have deep within me to continue living the best life possible.

While in Nashville, at the beginning of January, I had the opportunity to get a few images of Jeremy Camp recording his new album at Dark Horse Recording Studio. I have enjoyed Jeremy's music for many years, so this was such a wonderful and moving time for me. Again, one of the moments in life that I love doing what I do! Jeremy has such an amazing testimony and seeing where God has brought him throughout the years, is a true testament to the loving and gracious God we serve.

]]>Exploring Nashville with Anniehttp://www.beautifulendingsblog.com/recent-happenings/2010/1/18/exploring-nashville-with-annie.htmlHolly2010-01-19T02:52:17ZAnnie Nashville

My friend Annie and I navigated the snowy streets of Nashville while I was visiting about two weeks ago, before I headed to Imaging USA. Even though we were absolutely freezing and snowflakes were falling all around us, we still had a great time exploring the beautiful scenery along the back country roads. She let me do an impromptu session while I was there, as the lighting was perfect and I couldn't pass up getting a few shots.

I just returned from a week long trek to Nashville Tennessee and am inspired to take my work to another level. Part of my week was spent catching up with an old friend and the rest of the week I was at the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center for the Imaging USA Conference. I believe that learning from the people in your industry is extremely important, so it was exciting to attend the many classes, sessions and trade show that created a deep longing inside of me to become more than I was yesterday. To truly follow the dreams and passions that lie within your being, to know that the road you are on is exactly where you are to be traveling and finally, realizing that if you reach high enough you will touch that star you wished upon as a child, these are the moments I treasure. I want to say thank you to each of my clients over the years who have entrusted me with their most precious of memories, I am so blessed to live this life and do not take the opportunities I have been given for granted. I hope that 2010 is the year you discover your passion, pursue your dreams and live a life worth living.

]]>Merry Christmashttp://www.beautifulendingsblog.com/recent-happenings/2009/12/25/merry-christmas.htmlHolly2009-12-26T04:59:40ZBaby Chris Christmas Kory Lilia

Last week I spent an afternoon with Kory, Chris and baby Lilia. A few years ago I shot their wedding in Leavenworth and it was been great to capture their lives recently with baby Lilia. She is an absolute doll but I must say that it was rather difficult to keep her attention when we were surrounded by ducks. These pictures just made me think of Christmas and as we celebrate today, I hope that Lilia brought a smile to your face. This season is filled with shopping, holiday parties, family gatherings, travel and the like, but to truly take a few moments and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas is a joy for me. I am blessed beyond measure and do not take each day I am given for granted. I have lived an amazing life so far and know that the year 2010 will be full of monumental moments, memories I cannot wait to create and love I look forward to sharing. Be thankful for those around you, knowing that each breath you are given is a precious gift.

With the random weather we've been having lately, yesterday afternoon could have turned out completely different than the sunny day we had. Tim and Andrea are getting married this upcoming summer and we spent yesterday shooting their engagement pictures. They enjoy going to the cinema and it was the perfect setting to capture a few images of them together before heading outside to take full advantage of the beautiful sun and back alley setting. It was a great time, creating images of a couple completely in love. Thanks and congratulations to you both on the journey ahead!
