I know that I am not the greatest at blogging.  I think that it is because I have a hard time coming up with the words to describe the pictures that I take.  I think that I need to start speaking from the heart more and  spend less time thinking about what is the correct thing to say or not to say.  I guess the years of working in Human Resources made me cautious that way.  :)  Don’t get me wrong, I think that being aware of other’s feelings is important, but I personally hold myself back from showing you who I really am because of my cautious mind. I’ll be working on that.  I promise.

I had a busy summer both personally and in my world of photography.  My two oldest children are in karate and I am a believer that we should encourage their dreams and ambitions so we have been attending karate class very regularly even though the youngest two kids don’t exactly like sitting at the karate studio for 2+ hours.  Thank goodness it has been nice out so we have been able to go on walks while the older boys are in class.

It has been years since I have felt like I was able to kick back and enjoy summer, but this year it was accomplished.  My family and I were able to go on multiple family vacations this summer.  We also watched countless sunsets,  went on family bike rides,  played outside almost everyday, at dinner on the patio and slept in our playhouse.

It was a great summer and I am excited to share with you some of the pictures that I have been blessed to photograph over the last few months.  Here are just a few of the images that I fell in love with. I will get more up in the next few weeks.
