Today I had a studio photo session scheduled and it was a great session! Even though there wasn't too much natural lighting due to the rain and dark clouds...it turned out pretty good! Praise the Lord!

It was a fun session and I had a lot of fun working with this high school senior!! Thank you so much! :)

Here are a few photos from today's session! Enjoy!

Have a blessed day tomorrow honoring the birth of our Blessed Mother! God bless!!

Autumn is in the air!

I had the wonderful pleasure of working today with a high school senior girl! We went out to a Nature Center took a hike around the land as we took some photos. It was a beautiful day that we were blessed with! With late summer/early autumn flowers all in bloom along with the cool breeze you could tell that autumn was in the air! 

Here are a few photos from today's adventure! Enjoy!

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!

Alaska...the beauty of the land!

I can't do it! The more that I try to capture the beauty of nature through my lens, I realize that I just can't do it! Just as you can't capture a scent...you can't truly capture a beautiful place. The photos are just an attempt to show to you the wonderful artist that our Heavenly Father is (He is an amazing Artist!)! Looking at photos and actually being there is very different!! 

Here are a few of the experiences, that I tried to capture, of the beauty here! In these photos you can see, the Bay, Homer Spit, glaciers, volcanoes, wild roses/rose bud, fireweed, a peaceful lake! 

In the third photo you can see a small black dot above the water---this is a small float plane! 

In the last four photos-- These are photos of the volcanoes here. We were driving along the highway and we stopped so that I could take some pictures of them. I walked through the field and came up to the edge of the grass-line. There was a complete drop off at the edge!! The wind was so powerful here, as this is the Inlet. It was such a cool experience, standing on this cliff and feeling the power of the wind off the ocean! (I felt for a second that this is what Ireland might be like!!) 

Enjoy the photos! :)

Blessings from Heaven!

Every day is a blessing from our dear Lord! He gives us another day to love Him, to serve Him and to know Him in a deeper way! 
As you all can tell... my little nephews and niece have really won my heart! :) I am so thankful to our dear Lord for this time that I have been able to spend with them! It has been a true blessing for me! St. Therese of the Child Jesus strove to be childlike and in this she drew closer to God and fell more in love with Him! Being around little children really has inspired me with what St. Therese was talking about. It is in the simple every day actions that we come closer in our relationship with God! It may seem pointless to us, but He has a plan for why He wants you to do this!

"Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven" -Matthew 18:3-4

Here are a few photos of some adorable kids that I love! :)

Enjoy!
