Choose to Enjoy

Since Isaac and I have returned from El Salvador, it seems as though my schedule has left little to no time for blogging. I have so many blogs to write and I will be catching up over the next few weeks (hopefully!!).

God is GOOD. Sometimes I feel so exhausted and it seems like those are the only words that my mouth can form. God is SO GOOD. I delight in Him.

Near the beginning of the summer, God challenged me to ENJOY. Although this is such a difficult thing to learn to do, it is great! Because you learn to ENJOY! :) So take some time today and enjoy what He has done for you. And enjoy how He delights in you! 

"He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me." ~Psalm 18:19

Baby Mya

Each time I take newborn pictures I come home and tell Isaac that I need a baby. eventually. Thankfully, Isaac went with me to this session so I could just yell across the yard... but then I would have startled this beautiful baby girl...

Mya is surrounded by tons and tons of wonderful people that love her to pieces! While I took pictures of this beautiful girl, I was just amazed. Because Mya has no idea how much her parents love her and as much as she tries, she won't know until she is a parent, too. 

Mya was incredibly alert during the first part of the session, but after being comforting by mom, she went right to sleep...

I just love it when babies relax.

but i love it even more when they SMILE!!!

and she doesn't even know just how beautiful she is. 

Lydia and John just adore Mya.

I will end on this adorable note (even though I could go on and on about it)!

Happy Wednesday!

Kelly Kids

Hayden and Raegan are completely great. Maybe it is how cooperative Hayden is or how relaxed Raegan is or just them together. being them. Or maybe it is because their parents care about them more than they will ever know. They shine, though. Their hearts and their love just shines (their whole family, that is). They love each other unconditionally.

I really loved working with you guys! Blessings!

Raegan, you are BEAUTIFUL!

seriously? you are too great Raegan!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this one!

completely relaxed.

I will end this post on this sweet note.

Clayton Miller : {SENIOR}

Clayton is going to be a senior this year at Bolivar High School. One of the first things I noticed about Clayton is how easy going he is. His mom told me that just 10 minutes before his senior session he was just relaxing with his friends. Clayton and his family are always looking for ways to be generous to others. 

Clayton will start off his year with football and finish with baseball. Blessings Clayton!

I love how this captures just how relaxed Clayton is about life. He just enjoys it.

pretty intense, Clayton.

Happy Tuesday!

Caleb + Kayla : { MARRIED }

Kayla is the kind of girl that you want to be friends with. Her heart is so big and being around her is completely inspiring. Kayla makes you want to love more. She makes you want to dream bigger. I am so excited to see God continue His work in the lives of Kayla and Caleb. 

Their hearts for service and their passion for people gives me great joy. Everything about their day had a special purpose and I am so thankful that I was able to take part in it. Blessings to you both as you walk with God and seek Him in all you do!

Kayla and Caleb are blessed with many, many friends. One of Kayla's bridesmaids make her hair clip (bottom right).

I love all of the beautiful details!

The gift on the left is from one of Kayla's missionary friends and Kayla's TOMS give a child a new pair of shoes.

Kayla and Caleb wrote each other love letters for their special day...

 Beautiful Kayla. Just simply BEAUTIFUL.

 GORGEOUS.

Kayla and Caleb decided to have a first look and I think they were VERY happy about that decision!

 all the love!
