There's no doubt in my mind that when these parents are out with sweet V, people stop them and say, "Oh, so cute. Is she your first?" Shhh. Don't tell those inquisitive strangers. She isn't. V is the baby of 4 kids. But the way she is so loved and confident, you would think she was #1. I mean. Sweet bundle of run-and-try-to-catch me giggles. It...

2019seniorsession

October 22, 2019  •  Leave a Comment
This young lady. So poised and humble. When I asked her what she wanted for her Senior Photos, she shrugged. SHRUGGED? Most High Schoolers these days are all about the selfies and insta and all about themselves. Not this one. Such a beautiful witness. And this. But...just when you think you have them figured out...they jump off a waterfall! S...

ConfirmationSessionwithbrothers

What a fun day! Sprinkle in some humidity, sweat, and rain too, and you have the recipe for a wonderful time with these 2 young brothers who were recently Confirmed. And they wouldn't be brothers if they didn't clown around a little... All in all, I was SO PLEASED at how respectful and go-with-the-flow they were!! And so prayerful. And j...

So happy to be baptized! A few drowsy snuggles with Fr. Brian... And a final shot of the beautiful family of 6! Congratulations, G Family! Thank you for invit...

I taught this young lady, er, 2 years ago? 3? I loved how gentle her faith was back then. She was so prayerful in the Atrium and worked so hard. I am blown away and her poise. Already! I love this shot because you can see her little tooth, just sort of dangling there. It makes her smile though, don't you think? And this last one. Nothing says...

Miss N braved some chilly weather to meet with me. But we'll get to those later. First, chapel photos. I remember when sweet N was just a kinder. Maybe a preschooler??? Sigh. I am in love with her sweet gloves with the little crosses! And her mom's veil. Big sister also wore this veil on her First Holy Communion day. And in her hair? Her mom...

JM FHC in the country

April 16, 2019  •  Leave a Comment
He is very shy she said. Especially when he meets new people she said. Um...either he doesn't think I'm a new person, or his mom was trying to keep me on my toes. Because just look at him! As a boy-mom-of-many I kinda just wanted to tossle his cute messy gelled hair. And that smile! These next few might be my favorite. I don't think for a sec...

Confirmation+First Holy Communion, the whole family celebrates

April 09, 2019  •  Leave a Comment
Celebrating multiple Sacraments in one year because you have multiple kids is a gift. I know this because starting next year, our family will be celebrating 2 Sacraments each year for...well, a while!:) This family started with Confirmation a couple weeks ago. This young man, so scholarly. And then. Little sister received her First Holy Communio...

This is holy ground

April 06, 2019  •  Leave a Comment
I sing a song with my CGS children. "This is holy ground. God has given us holy ground..." "God is in this place, and so this place is holy..." I couldn't stop humming it as I met with this lovely girl and her family. No words. Just. Holy. Ground. Little Miss O. is so close to Jesus. It's like He is speaking to her heart. Can't you just se...

Made for More

April 04, 2019  •  1 Comment
I was invited to photograph a sold-out Theology of the Body event this evening called, "Made for More," with global speaker/author Christopher West and musician Mike Mangione. It was so great to have a refresher on TOB. Did I mention Mike's music is awesome??? I have not looked at them all, but here are a handful before I head off to bed!...

It's not raining so it's FHC photo time!

March 31, 2019  •  Leave a Comment
So glad the sun came out and the rain stayed away so I could meet with this young lady and her mom after their retreat. Sigh. Isn't she adorable??? Stunning. She shared with me she will be able to wear this gorgeous dress again soon because she is going to be a flower girl in her Uncle's wedding. What a gift! She has such a contagious smile....
