Photo Shoot: Baby Doll


A quick peek at this morning's shoot. Isn't she BEAUTIFUL?!

The ingredients of this shot:
On the floor close to a sliding glass door with LOTS of natural light.
Backside of a baby quilt held up behind her.
Canon T1I, AV mode, 18-55mm lens.
Super cute baby.
Photoshop Action: Coffee Shop's Perfect Portrait with lots of tweaking

This little one is a twin, her brother looks totally different.  We did a family session this morning with Grandma, Grandpa, the Uncles, the family Dog and Mom and Dad, of course.

I've been so blessed with jobs lately, its good for me.  Each one makes me very nervous, but my confidence is building.  God is good.  I'm saving every penny earned from these jobs for something very special.  God knows... I am certain He will send me the work I need to save enough. 

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  Every guest we've invited has other plans.  I think it will be just our family.  I'm looking forward to it.  I know it will be special.  For reasons unshared, I treasure this Thanksgiving especially much this year.  Family, together.  We are going to do family pictures tomorrow, and I'm pretty excited about that!  Its been years.

Out of the mouths of babes

In 2 & 3 year old Sunday School today, we made prayer pages for Moldova.
I was explaining to them what an orphan is.  Little Turkey, my 3 yr. old nephew, never having heard of orphans before, stopped me and matter of factly said "God is a Daddy for the orphans." Oh sweet, sweet child. You fill my heart to overflowing.

When I explained what Missionaries are, Little Turkey jumped up, struck his superhero pose, and proclaimed "Missionariessssss....to the rescue!" He has been repeating "SuperMan and Missionariessssss....to the rescue!" ever since. He's got the right idea. Thank you Lord for allowing me to see life through the eyes of a 3-year old.
