Having a blast! :)

Hello to all! If you haven't guessed I am having a great time up here with my family! There is never a dull moment with these adorable little tykes! :) It has been fun trying to capture moments of them and share them with you all! Here are some photos that really show their personalities! ;-) My niece never wants to look at the camera, thus the reason why I have mostly side/profile photos of her. My nephew is the silliest little thing...there is a pretty good one below that you can tell why I say that! Last night I got my niece and nephew both dressed up to have a photo shoot. My nephew is a cowboy and my niece is a ballerina! I got a couple good shots! 

Enjoy the photos! I love to hear your comments! :)

Puddle Jumping!

After many days of rain, the rain finally stopped!! We were able to go outside finally! We got those rain boots on and of course had to splash in the puddles!! ;-) These little kids are so cute! 

Enjoy these photos!

The Land of the Midnight Sun!

Yes, that is right! I am now in the beautiful state of Alaska! It definitely has it's charms....but I think the little ones below are the best little charms here! ;-) These cute little kids are my nephews and niece! 

The funny thing about this photo was that I was only planning on taking a picture of my littlest nephew, but my nephew and niece both had to get into the picture too!!! I am glad that they did! 

Enjoy the photos!

A Time for Everything!

There is a first for everything...and it seems like every portrait I take is always a first! I have taken high school senior portraits, baby's portraits, children's portraits...and today the first family portrait! Usually I am on the other side of the camera during family portraits because we usually have family portraits twice a year. Of course I didn't mind being on "the other" side of the camera today! ;-) 

We had a very fun and relaxing time walking through the park along Nagawicka Lake! It is a beautiful park with many wonderful delights of God's creation! 

It was a lot of fun working with your beautiful family today! May God bless you all! 

Enjoy some photos from today's photo shoot!

Go with the flow...

I have come to realize that when you are taking baby/child portraits you just have to go with the flow. Babies actually do a very wonderful job of posing themselves. If you try to pose them in a certain way, they will just move...and the way that they position themselves is actually a lot better than what you tried to do! 

Enjoy these photos of a very cute little boy!

Fun on the Farm!

I had the wonderful opportunity to take the high school senior portraits of a very good friend of mine, and a very dear friend of my sister! It was a fun and relaxful photo session, despite the heat and wind! ;-) The chickens walking around... the goats "baahhaaaing" (lol!) definitely made everything wonderful! 

I wish you all the best, my friend, as you continue on the journey that Our Lord has planned for you! God bless you always!

Here is a few photos from today's photo shoot! Enjoy! :)

England Part 4....

First of all I just noticed that my blog has been viewed more than 1,000 times!! Kind of exciting! ;-) Keep it up everyone! 

Now, as I promised this is Part 4 of my trip to England. These pictures were taken with my point-and-shoot camera, so don't expect quality or creativity! ;-) Sometimes it was easier to use this small camera...as in while walking down the street, in the airport, train station...etc. There is a variety of pictures in this blog, so look at them all! There are captions under the photos...so be sure to look at that! :)

This is my last post of my England pictures! Thank you for viewing them and I hope you enjoyed them! 

Enjoy!

On our way to England we flew from Chicago to Frankfort, Germany. This is at our stop in Germany waiting for our connecting flight. 

YAY! Finally in England...waiting for our train. 

 Birmingham, England

Our first wonderful English breakfast! They always served us an egg and toast  for breakfast. 

My first cup of English tea--of course had to take a picture! ;-) 

English Tea! 

We were blessed to have the picture of St. Faustina (one of my favorite saints!) in our room!! 

The bell on the staircase 

Another bell from the other direction!

These are their "yield" signs...lol!

Of course had to capture the cars driving on the wrong side of the road!!

Also...look at the way that they park their cars!

Smart car!

This is how all their street signs look

This is infront of a Catholic church down the road from Maryvalle

In the chapel at Maryvalle

Adoration with the Sisters!

Blessed be our Lord in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar!

 

Lilacs!

I love this sign!!
