Church Nursery Project

My current contribution to the nursery is this cutey and I was busy taking pictures of all the kids in there. Just for the record this one I can publish because she is mine. We are working on a bulletin board full of the kids in the church nursery. It's a fun little project, there just wasn't very many kids at church today.

Maternity Shoot

Finally got around to my better half's maternity shoot. Girl number four is on the way! We had some fun matching up these shots with maternity shots from the last one.

Christmas in Small Town Americana

In my home town there are many old houses and folks just dress them up with lights for Christmas. Here they are in their holiday beauty.

We don't even need Macys, we have our own beautiful windows that change with the seasons.

There are many more beautiful Christmas lights to see in our little slice of Americana. Check out the Flickr gallery here.
