a recap

It was more than just a reunion gig...

It was the perfect excuse to buy new dancing shoes :) I had a blast connecting with so many old friends, it was like stepping back in time 20 years. Here's a video clip from a photographer friend of mine:

Greg also snapped some INCREDIBLE shots from the evening. Click HERE to view his Flickr set.

I still have several sessions to post, including my first labor and delivery! Unfortunately, our vehicle was broken into during a recent session and I've been tied up closing accounts, having the window replaced, and redirecting a load of automatic payments... among other things.

It seems no matter how hard I try to stay focused, life gets in the way ;) Hope to be back soon with some pics!

all bark & no bite

All Things Pink | Minnesota Newborn Portrait Session

I love photographing little bundles of pink. LOVE. IT. After all, who wouldn't love the ruffles and flowers and bows?

Total sweetness. Even when half naked.

Okay, perhaps especially when half naked :)

A few more...

And a couple in black and white:

Thanks again, Heidi... she is absolutely beautiful.

another song I can't get out of my head

Let the Waters Rise

by Mikeschair

Don't know where to begin

It's like my world's caving in

And I tried but I can't control my fear

Where do I go from here

Sometimes it's so hard to pray

You feel so far away

I am willing to go where You want me to

God I trust You

[Chorus]

There's a raging sea

Right in front of me

Wants to pull me in

Bring me to my knees

So let the waters rise

If you want them to

I will follow You

I will follow You

I will follow You

I will swim in the deep

Cuz You'll be next to me

You're in the eye of the storm and the calm of the sea

You're never out of reach

God You know where I've been

You were there with me then

You were faithful before

You'll be faithful again

I'm holding Your hand

[Chorus]

God Your love is enough

You will pull me through

I'm holding on to You

God your love is enough

I will follow You

I will follow You

[Chorus]

my beloved

One of those songs I just can't stop listening to... click HERE to hear it for yourself (if the link doesn't play the entire song, just click on Kari's name below to find it on her MySpace page). The lyrics for the song are below:

My Beloved

You're My beloved, you're My bride
To sing over you is My delight. Come away with Me, My love.

Under My mercy come and wait, till we are standing face to face.
I see no stain on you, My child.

You're beautiful to Me, so beautiful to Me.
I sing over you My song of peace
Cast all your cares down at My feet
Come and find your rest in Me.

I'll breathe My life inside of you.
I'll bear you up on eagles' wings and hide you in the shadow of My strength.
I'll take you to My quiet waters.
I'll restore your soul.

Come rest in Me and be made whole.

The song is by Kari Jobe and you can find her album HERE. Or better yet... add your name as a comment to this post and have your name entered into a drawing for a free album! (Winner will be posted on Friday.)
