Sharon Celebrates 65!!! {Roseville Family Photographer, Sacramento Family Photographer}

Sharon is a LOVELY lady! She is also my business coach and the owner of Club Fresh Star and becoming a wonderful friend. She is in a Christian Roundtable with me and her influence to the group is awesome. Last month she celebrated her 65th birthday with her husband, all of her daughters and grandchildren. What a privilege to have been a part of that special celebration. Sharon planned the party around the children with…pin the tail on the donkey…drop the clothespins in the jar…hokey pokey…and M&M’s bingo! The party had cake and ice cream and balloons! What a special day. Sharon is having me make her an album of her memories from that day. Can’t wait to see how beautiful it turns out! “Thank you Lord for this beautiful woman and her family, I am blessed to have crossed their paths…amen”.

Gratituesday Time! {Sacramento Family Photographer, Roseville Family Photographer, Rocklin Family Photographer}

Last Sunday our church had “Church on the Green”. It was great to all be together outside under the trees! After the worship service we had old fashion pot luck…yum! Then the kids had all kinds of fun with face painting, cotton candy, bounce houses and tractor rides! So today (yes a day late) I would say I am way grateful for an amazing church that loves-on-people so amazingly well.

There are some pretty awesome things to be grateful for this week! But the one that I needed to post was about the time I had last month with my sister over tea. It is not often that I get to visit with my sister Donelle, because we live in different states! This visit to Oregon was an especially special time. As you might have read in one of my previous blogs I was able to attend a wonderful retreat for like minded Christian photographers. Then, I shuttled on a plane over to the Portland area where I was soooo blessed to spend a few days with my sister and her family. As the years go on, I appreciate family even more than I did in the past. This visit with my sister was so much of a blessing and I thank the Lord for the time that I was given with her. I love you Donelle and was so excited to hear of how the Lord is working in your life! His beauty is shining through you…that makes me smile.

Sara's Prom Photos {Sacramento Senior Photographer, Roseville Senior Photographer}

While in the Portland Oregon area this past month, I had a special opportunity to photograph my beautiful niece Sara. She looks so much like my sister when she was this age it’s scary! I had a blast spending the day with Sara as she took time out of school to “shadow” someone who has a career that she is interested in. Sara would like to be a photographer some day…it was such fun to give her my professional camera for her to have her hand at taking some photos of her friend later that day. But, here are the photos of the shoot that we had together! What a beauty! I love you Sara!!!

Be Thou My Vision Retreat {Sacramento Photographer, Roseville Photographer}

Just got back from a fabulous retreat in Sisters Oregon called ‘Be Thou My Vision’. It was a retread for women photographers who wish to have the Lord as center of their businesses. It was an amazing time and I am still debriefing from so much that I learned and want to implement. Jane Johnson was a very gifted teacher and we all had such a special time getting to know one another. The accommodations were perfect and the weather was dry for the most part! The food was well…amazing as well! Take a look at some of the many photos that I captured from my time away. I was so fortunate to be able to go.
