Photo Shoot 2013 - Family

This year's photo shoot happened at the beautiful Dow Gardens.  Oh my goodness I am in love with that place. I made sure to get some with me and the kids and John this time, thanks to my sweet hubby being there and my oldest.  Here are my favorites.  

“Your children are the greatest gift God will give to you, and their souls the heaviest responsibility He will place in your hands. Take time with them, teach them to have faith in God. Be a person in whom they can have faith. When you are old, nothing else you've done will have mattered as much.”

A Moore Photoshoot!

Tonight, I spent the evening with one of my favorite families on the planet.  I had so much fun taking their pictures.  They will be celebrating 25 years of marriage.  That is so awesome. Congratulations to the two of them!  God has done so many wonderful things in their marriage.  It gives me chills just thinking about it!  And just for added fun, their fabulous girl sneaked into a few photos as well.  Just cause I like her and all!!!!

And then there is my favorite one of the night!!!  

I love this!

GET JOY!!!
