I adore a stunning, emotional black and white image. Of course, color is beautiful, but there is something about just the perfect black and white that seems to tell even more of a story than the bright, cheery colors can tell. It has the ability to stir up more inside of the beholder. This image is from a trip we made to one of my husband’s absolute favorite places ever : Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In fact, our youngest is named after this town 
! We drove out to a gorgeous lake on this day, but as soon as we shed our clothes to jump in and swim (except for the youngest and I because it was COLD!!!), the sky darkened and it was obvious a storm was coming. This was caught just in the last few moments before we decided we should make our move to safe, dry ground. It is one of my favorites from the whole trip — I love how it almost appears they are walking on water!
Be sure and visit I Heart Faces – there are hundreds of moving black and white images by so many talented photographers that will inspire you, touch you, and even make you giggle!!

I started praying for this little girl long before I met her. Long before her siblings and parents brought her home. And I was so excited to spend some time with her! We got to have a few brief conversations , and I found out she definitely loves red balloons! Even though I was snapping her sweet, adorable face long after dinner time, she kept on smiling (its possible the red balloon bribe helped…) and never shed a tear. And those dimples… seriously!! Can you tell I had a hard time choosing just a few to share here? I hope I get to share many more conversations with her as she grows up with her new, extremely kind and loving family. Thank you for letting me in on such a special little piece of your life with your new daughter, and for the time, tears, love, and prayers you have and continue to pour into this precious one.

This is one of my favorite shots of one of my favorite families!! If I remember right, my husband was actually the one who placed everyone in this photo — he is so good at that. I should hire him. I was up on a ladder to shoot, and I think I was making the dad in this photo very nervous! But look at all those girls! He is used to looking out for danger! We did this photo shoot to get some family shots they could use for their church entry and for prayer cards as they are preparing to go out in the mission field this summer! Such a loving, generous family — God is going to use them in amazing ways!! You can learn more about them here: www.actisfamily.com.
Be sure to stop by I Heart Faces for some more creative, fun angles!!

boys & their shoes {fresno clovis photographer}
March 21, 2010
I have 2 boys. A dear friend of mine who has 3 boys who are older than mine, was asked on her last trip to the grocery store if it was OK if they put her bagged groceries into 2 carts… This makes me afraid of my future grocery bills. We are noticing the “boy funk” smell in the bedrooms, the airplane noises and nonsense songs seem to be getting louder and louder, and the pantry is emptying faster and faster… The oldest of the 2 cannot keep a pair of jeans hole free for more than 3.5 months. These are his shoes. Also worn for about 3.5 months. But what can I say? The shoes make me smile. Because my personality-filled, energetic boys are loving life. And I love every minute right with them!
