Every Day is a Gift!

Today I had the joy of working with a wonderful woman and her elderly dad! We met at the beautiful Shrine of Our Lady Help of Christians, most commonly known as Holy Hill. We captured some of the special moments of today when we were at Holy Hill. This was my first time taking portraits of an elderly person, and it was a true joy for me! It was a beautiful day that God blessed us with!

Here are some photos from today! Enjoy!

The most beautiful Rose!

Yesterday was the feast day of St. Rose of Lima!! She was an amazing young woman who dedicated her life entirely to Christ! During her life she offered many prayers and practiced severe penances, all for Christ! In honor of this special saint I took a few pictures of this beautiful rose in our garden! 

Enjoy! :)

One last Hurrah!!

Time flies when you are having fun...that is for sure! :) These past five weeks have really flown by for me, I can't believe it's almost over! It has been the best summer for me, well actually it felt more like fall/winter.. ;)!  When WI was having a hot dry summer AK was having a rainy cold summer! Funny how that works! 

Here are several photos from my last few days here... playing at the park, going fishing on the beach, and just having great fun with these cute kids! :) 

Please note that some of these photos were taken with my point-and-shoot and some with my SLR. 

Enjoy the photos! Thanks for those who have been "following" my blog during my time here in Alaska! It has been a joy sharing this time with you all! 

Please continue to check back on this blog to view my recent adventures of photography!   

May God bless you all and our Blessed Mother always lead you closer to her Son!
