Colter and his brothers came for a photo session.  As you can see, this little boy is adorable!  And what a joy to photograph.  This is his second session here and we are doing a yearly wall panel for the so important growing years.  We see the little ones leave the baby stage behind and move into “little person” stage!  It is so much fun watching them change.  I was so busy with my own I did not get to do much observing from the sidelines!!  Take those photos!  Then you will have the memories to look back on.  I love photographing children.  I especially love letting them make the pose.  If you are going to a studio, bring along a few of those special things to use as props.  They help make the memory portraits tell stories!  Colter was all ready to go and I saw him in his bibs.  Perfect for a little farm boy….. I had to get a shot.  He, of course, stood and copied his grandpa and daddy as he posed.  Precious!

Joe and Amy Lechtenberg came to the farm for their family photo. Great looking family. I really enjoyed the experience! We buzzed from spot to spot to catch the beautiful evening light!

Congratulations to Tom and Pat on their 40th anniversary! Their beautiful family is a testament to their lives!

It was so much fun visiting with Gayle this morning at the viewing. She is program director for S.T.E.M.M., a medical mission group that is doing so much more than that! Check them out at http://www.stemm.org/. They are doing an auction in November to raise support and awareness. Now I want to go to Africa!!! Anywho! It was great fun photographing this family. You can tell their grandchildren find their grandparents pretty special people!

A special welcome to Adam and Becky Glover’s new baby. He’s got Dad’s dimples and is a little peanut having decided to present himself earlier than expected! It is so much fun to take these little newborns and play with them while they are sleeping! You can do the darnedest things!

It was a sad week in the Norwegian countryside of Elk Point, South Dakota.  We lost Clarence.  Well, I should say Clarence went home.  He was eager to get home and God finally called him home.  What an awesome experience to lay to rest the body of one of God’s faithful.  He did not make it to his birthday but that’s OK.  He wanted to get home.  Clarence helped build the church he was buried in.  Standing by the graveside for the final prayers, I could not help but think of the TV movies that show a funeral out on the prairie.  A gentle wind blew on a perfect day.  The crowd was mostly older.  But there we stood amongst the gravestones of so many other faithful followers of Jesus Christ.  Clarence saw the 20th Century and go.  He seemed to accept it as we all should.  God help us all to remain faithful to You until you call each of us home.  Thank you Clarence for your example of quiet steady faith.
