After The Storm

I love that there is always beauty. Even if it doesn’t seem like it. Even if it is in the storm. Always, there is some amount of beauty, and I was reminded of that this morning after the storm last night.

The sun coming up through the clouds in the quietness of this morning, slowly warming up the world and making the entire place sparkle from the light hitting millions of water droplets.

I am also reminded of His goodness. Of His kindness. It’s not often we reflect on His nature and who Jesus really is at the heart, and I love those moments that His goodness is reflected in his creation.

ll Senior Portraits-Alaina Kemerly ll

I am just now getting around to posting Alaina’s Senior pictures we took in the beginning of Fall 2017.

It was definitely a little out of my comfort zone because I am not used to shooting in such low light, or with that many darker colors, but I love how they turned out.

Alaina is all around, a really happy/joyful person that always keeps you laughing at the simplest things! Her love and spark for life shows through her smile, her eyes.

I love Senior Pictures…a closing of one part of life and on to the next adventure, and getting to be apart of capturing that moment in Senior’s lives is so beautiful to me.

It was a pleasure working with you friend! Even if we did laugh more than anything else!!

I’m so proud of this young woman and all she has accomplished, of her growth in not just character but also in Christ her Maker! And I can truly say she is my best friend. We have a lot of laughs together and I’m thankful for the times we can sit down and have a deep talk.

I so love this girl’s zeal for life and her Creator! Love your contagious smile,  all those good super deep talks we’ve had over time, and the sweet/ funny friendship we’ve shared!

This whole photo shoot was beautiful. The light, the horse, the girl. The only time I can think of it not being beautiful, was when I accidentally sat in horse poop trying to get a picture. ew. ; )

ll Emme ll Senior Photographer

When you get a text on Saturday saying “what are you doing Monday? And do you want to take my senior pictures?”

It was quite a spontaneous shoot really, stopping by the side of the road to catch the golden peak of sunrise, then on to the next destination.

The light that day was absolutely perfect, and getting to watch the world wake up is truly one of my favorite things!

This is going to pretty much be a ‘hardly any words’ post. Just because I’m at a loss of what to say. These pictures speak for themselves.

Sheer joy, delicate yet strong life, beautiful, miracle and so much love.

 

Absolutely loved getting to photograph my friend’s 2 week old, Carolynn Rose. Isn’t she precious?!

My heart pours out, this thankful song!

 

 

Lyrics from “Thank You” by Bethel Music

Have It All

You can have it all, Lord
Every part of my world
Take this life and breathe on
This heart that is now Yours

Morning frost

Oh the joy I’ve found
Surrendering my crowns
At the feet of the King
Who surrendered everything

Blade of grass

Oh the peace that comes
When I’m broken and undone
By Your unfailing grace
I can lift my voice and say

Morning frost

 

You can have it all, Lord
Every part of my world
Take this life and breathe on
This heart that is now Yours

 

Morning bokeh

There is no greater call
Than giving You my all
I lay it all down

Morning dew

 

There is no greater love
No higher name above
I lay it all down

 

Reflections

You can have it all, Lord
Every part of my world
Take this life and breathe on
This heart that is now Yours

 

DewConstantly reminded of His goodness to us! Just being out there this morning as the sun slowly melted the frost off these simple blades of grass, that right there was making me want to praise my Redeemer! My heart is full.

Great and mighty is your faithfulness, O God my Father! Great is your faithfulness.

You are so, so good!

What are you praising Him for today?!
