Seize the Day

 Day 312/366

Soaking up every last minute of this wonderful weather and the gift of a stunning sunset.

Family

 Day 226/366

This is one of my favorite families to photograph!  So thankful I get to see them every year, see their smiles, hear the kids laugh, watch them grow.  This year we got lucky with an incredible sunset at the end of our time together.

Brushstrokes

Day 212/366
Another gorgeous summer sunset. The clouds looked like bold brush strokes across the sky.

Painted Sky

Day 207/366
We were treated to a beautiful display at sunset. The clouds were so wispy and vibrant... and it just got better the longer we waited and watched. I also love that little sliver of a moon in the sky, not wanting to be left out.

Gratitude

Day 205/366
The flowers know to give thanks at the end of the day, watching the lovely sunset fade from view.

Sparkler Celebration

Day 184/366
We're kicking off our 4th of July celebration a little early with some sparklers at sunset.

I Will Be Here

Day 179/366
Twenty-two years ago we had the song "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman sung at our wedding, and I still choke up every time I hear it. I am certainly blessed to be celebrating twenty-two years of marriage with this amazing guy. Happy anniversary, my love!

Play Ball

Day 115/366
A beautiful evening for some catch in the field.

Waiting

Day 92/366
We're safer at home, watching and waiting to see all the subtle changes in the outside world.

The Expanse of the Heavens

Day 64/366
I love the scale of this image and the beautiful colors lingering in the sky just after the sun set. Sometimes we feel so small and insignificant, wondering where we fit in such a big world. It is encouraging to think that not only are we significant, we were created for a purpose and each of us are dearly loved by our Savior.

"The heavens are telling of the glory of God and their expanse is declaring the work of his hands."
Psalm 19:1

Last Light

Day 51/366
Have you ever watched as the sun slips below the horizon? Waiting, watching to see those last rays of light reaching to touch the earth before it leaves the day behind... it happens so quickly, it's almost magic. The sun is gone long before the light leaves the sky. The light lingers, clinging, slowly seeping from view. Every time I watch a sunset there's a feeling of fulfillment and I breathe out, watching the colors of the sky deepen and night slowly descend.

Super Sunset

Day 33/366
The weather was lovely today - sunshine and warm temps. The sky put on a colorful display at sunset, just before the start of the Super Bowl.

Watch Cat

Day 18/365
Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm being watched.

Blue Hour Beauty

Day 291/365

Tree on a Hill at Dusk

Day 253/365
Can you spot the hawk hiding among the branches?

Catching Fireflies

Day 212/365
It was a perfect summer night and as we were driving home from VBS, we saw the fireflies dancing in the field. We stopped to run through the cool grass, attempting to capture a little magic in our hands.
