Meet this wonderful and amazing and talented young lady…

Jenna's Sweet 16!

I've known her, well, since before she was born… I was expecting my sweet Emma at the same time my dear friend, Jill, was expecting Jenna… her momma prayed for me diligently. I know this because she asked all the time, how was I doing, how could she pray…. I was truly blessed in friendship. And now, this little baby is turning 16 years old! How can this happen??

So obviously, I was thrilled to be a little part of a nice, big surprise party, complete with surprise photo shoot! Enjoy these sweet pics…

Grant ~ def.:"Great."

I agree.
With the meaning of his name, that is.
He is truly a wonderful, and great individual, with much talent and a blessed family! Enjoy these images of Grant's Senior photo session!

Introducing... Carla!

I so love her sweet, sweet smile, and deep brown eyes. She places great value on her family heritage, and the things that matter most in life. And well, quite frankly, any girl who loves Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and actually brings a copy of this book to her senior photoshoot, is a girl after my own heart.      

I try very hard to make sure every photo session is different. Different locations, poses, props, etc... but one thing is for sure:  whether I try hard or not, every photo session has it's own set of challenges. This particular evening, we started shooting with lots of sun in the the sky, and just a few fluffy white clouds. Within minutes, though, ONE cloud crept in, and it rained. And we waited. and it rained some more. You know - it was one of those sun shining while it's coming down kind of rains. So, we did headshots on the porch... & found a fun umbrella and did this...

Gotta be flexible, people. Sometimes things just don't go the way you plan, and you have to come up with something else - and I just LOVE the way that something else turned out!

Rarely does this girl not smile... but I do love this one very thoughtful expression...

I hope you enjoyed a peek at Carla's photos! And please, if you are needing your family photos or senior or baby/child session done this Fall, please contact me ASAP. Time slots are filling up FAST!

 I totally enjoyed spending time with this jewel of a Senior... She is talented, joyful, giving of her time and energies, & she is a runner, too! Amazing & wonderful. I'm so thankful she is a good friend to my girl, too! Enjoy your photos, Abby!

Broadening the Blog

I don't seem to blog very often these days, although I have somewhat interesting thoughts and complete articles swimming around in my head constantly... I just don't seem to find the time to write. But the other day I posted something on Facebook that really is where I am: "A good thought, never expressed, no matter how sincere, true, or profound it may be... Holds no bearing on others, brings no change, nor warms a heart. It's time to speak up and get it out there." I do have lots to talk about, and so much to share. It really doesn't bother me if people are reading it or not, but I do hope, that if you are here, you will be glad you came, for whatever reason. Maybe it's to check out my latest favorite shot - shown below - or to get a little information on various topics ranging from photo tips, to travel, God topics, to parenting and life... This blog used to be anything and everything, and while it's interesting to some, and not so much to others, it's like a virtual scrapbook for me. And I'm good with that! So I'm opening it back up - mostly photography, yes, but other stuff, too... Restaurant reviews, places to visit, vacation, what I am learning through Scripture, health, and (gasp) maybe even a recipe once in awhile. It is time to speak up and share more with those around me, virtually and especially literally. One status update or 140 character post doesn't cut it - I am a woman, yes. Typically I don't share my opinion, but maybe this comes with a little age... I am committing to speak the random "ya know, I really do think you're amazing," tell my husband more often how incredible he is to me, and talk about various matters going on inside this brain. So, welcome back to LIFE THRU MY LENS. ~Teri Here is my latest favorite shot - taken just yesterday in Ozark, MO. For more previews of this incredible photo shoot, visit my Facebook Page!

Sam Stiles!

All I can say is... WOW. This girl is just amazing, and so wonderful to work with! I just love the confidence in her eyes, and it especially shows in this first image. Enjoy a little preview of her session this past weekend!

~ Brady ~

I'm a little tempted to include an old photo I took of Brady during their family session about 3 or 4 years ago. But it would definitely not be embarrassing...Although he may look a little older, he's still as handsome as ever, a great athlete, a hard worker, and I know has a great future ahead of him!
