Deuteronomy 16:15

"For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest 
                    and in all the work of your hands, and your {joy} will be complete." 
                                                                                              -Deuteronomy 16:15 

May your joy be complete this Thanksgiving week as you consider all God has done on your behalf, 

and thank Him for His countless blessings.

Caroline - {Nursing School Graduation}

Several days ago, Caroline and I decided to take advantage of one of the few warm and sunny afternoons left here in Pittsburgh before winter comes to stay for a while. :)  

Caroline just graduated as an RN from St. Margaret's School of Nursing.  

She did it in 18 months, which is a huge achievement...

and I was very happy to do this photo session with her to help commemorate the occasion.  

We started off in the train station downtown, and just wandered around for a while, looking for good spots.

We had lots fun, of course :)  

Caroline, I'm so grateful to God that He's allowed us to walk together as friends these past years.  

Your friendship has blessed me more times than I can say, and I'm so excited for you in this next season of life, as you begin your job and discover all that He has in store for you.

Love you, dear sister...

Fall Family Session

I love it when I get to photograph adorable little babies and toddlers.

I had done a session with this little guy and his cousins back in the summer, so it was fun to see them again, and how much he's grown since then (and how fast he can run now :).  

This was a fun fall afternoon session with a beautiful family...
