A couple of weeks ago I got to photograph some of my family members (THE SHEPHARD FAMILY - a cousin, her husband, and their two children.) Photographing their family was a first, due to the fact that they had been living in Kentucky up until this past August, and their photographer has been my cousin Angela ( check her out at - http://angelawisley.com/). Anyways, this year they are closer in proximity to us, so I was able to do their shoot. :) So, without further say (limited on my time this morning) here are some pics from the shoot. 

                                                                             ENJOY!!!!!!

   Jesse, Adriana, and Kayla (hopefully that is spelled correctly, Adriana :/) - the Lord has certainly worked in this family. He has shown himself to be long suffering and merciful again (as he has even in my own life :) ). 
   May the Lord continue to put His grace upon your lives, and as you both daily follow whole heartedly after Him, may His blessing be lavished upon you as a family and in your marriage. Lastly, may I encourage you to seek to be an example - in your marriage, in your own personal relationships with the Lord, with your child(ren) - for all those looking on...this world is lacking good Godly examples in all of these ways, so may you live radically for our Lord Jesus NO MATTER THE COST/NO COMPROMISE!!!! :)

A TASTE OF WHAT'S YET TO COME!

Eliana - of Hebrew origin, meaning - God has answered

   While I was at home (Florida), I got to shoot along with Angela (angelawisleyphotography.com) while she photographed her niece/my cousin, Eliana. This was my last photo shoot in Florida for the time being, as I am now back out in AZ once more. 

   Elle, as you grow older, may you grow to reflect more of the image of Jesus in your life, even as your mom does. May you grow to be a woman sold out to Jesus, no matter the cost! May you be kind ("and in her tongue is the law of kindness") gracious, gentle, and at the same time filled with wisdom ("she openth her mouth with wisdom") as well as boldness. Be willing to live for your Lord, Elle, though it will most definitely be difficult as you get older (for "all those who live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution"), but in the end it will be worth it to hear your Lord say, "Well done good and faithful servant."

                                                         Presenting the Denton Family!!!

Right after I said goodbye to my family this past Saturday (as they took off for the work awaiting them in AZ), the next thing on my list was a photo shoot with the Sprankle family. Ben and his wife Erin, as well as their 4 children - Andrew, Katie, Ashley, and Kaden- (hopefully all spelled correctly :/ ), are leaving Marco Island to go to the mission field in Madagascar, Lord willing. Ben has been serving as a pastor here in FL for several yrs now (I don't know the exact amount Pastor Ben :/ :) ), but is being led by the Lord to go into ministry elsewhere.  But we were able to fit in one last shoot for them here on the Island before they head out this coming week. Please enjoy some of the pics...more up later. 
Thank you Beightols for the loan of your place fore the shoot. :)

                                                                                                      A Merry Christmas to you all!!!!!!

ANDREW (the oldest)

KADEN (the baby) :)
