Just listen to your body and do what it says, even if it’s “REST!!!!” Love, Gerrie
Angela’s wedding was a disappointment to me. I never really had audio and hardly any video–the picture would freeze. Hazie and I were chatting back and forth during the whole time, so that made it fun! It’s going to be another HOT day down here again. Be at peace today and REST. :heartbeat: ~Carolyn
Hey, you worked your tail off yesterday, take it easy. Dont let yourself get too overloaded. You did a great workout yesterday, and the best part is, you ENJOYED that workout. Its nice to have a job that you enjoy and get exercise doing it too. Remember, Sunday is a day of rest. REST GIRLFRIEND! Anyway, cant wait to see pics. Loves to you all………….Kimi
Hey Kerri! Feels like forever since I’ve visited with you. I love following your new career!
Oh…..I hope your feet feel better. I can’t wait to see the pics and hear all about it.
I miss you, Kerri!!! But oh, how awesome God is…You continue to amaze me in so many ways! I eagerly anticipate the next slideshow…With much love and many prayers, Paula:heartbeat:
Take care of yourself and that foot. I know what you mean about going barefoot, I used to love it until I discovered birkenstocks. HA! I didn’t wear them in the ’60s but I do now.:lol: Can’t wait to see the photos so I’ll be going over to your website and coming back to see what you have posted here when they are all up. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life with us.:heartbeat:
Re: vitamin D deficiency causes bone pain. I told another lady about it and she checked it out on the internet and discovered what my doctor had already told me. We can’t absorb enough vitamin D from food products. Then she got tested and is now on vitamin D replacement. My PCP told me that she’s been testing all her patients and almost without exception people are low. I think it has a lot to do with being inside so much and also the warnings against being out in the sun because of skin cancer. It’s worth checking out. It’s really made a difference in how I feel. I hope this information helps you in some way. I know what it’s like, not to feel 100%, and have genuine concern for others.{v}
Sorry, I just got your message… I don’t check my site over the weekend, but that would have been a blast… I heard you all went to see Lake House. Hope you enjoyed… and reguarding the skin thing, nothing feels different, it just looks different… in Peace and God Bless.

Love Lisa
RYC: If you ever need the name of the guy who did my conversion let me know.. ?????
:wave:I’d never known about infrared photos until you all introduced them here on your site. I really love the artistic effect! :coolman: I think it’s so cool that you have a truly family business ~ you’re all so talented! :goodjob: Kerri, I hope that your foot isn’t too badly hurt (OUCH!
) & that it heals quickly!:yes: Thank you for your comments ~ I think it’s great that your best earthly friend is Mark! :heartbeat: Have a great week! :sunny: Love ~ Carolyn
Oh.. Kerri I can feel for you… I did two weddings in one day back in May.. and by the time the end of the day came.. I thought I was going to collapse…. Though it never fails… when I set out my goals I usually hit them.. and I didn’t collapse, but I was truly exhausted. Sorry to hear about your foot!! Just the luck… Looking forward to the pics!!

Edit: I just posted a new post on my other site “passiondove” so if you are into cool science stuff (pictures) go check it out! Here is the link … Seriously I love the infrared camera! Brian has a good eye so I think he will be Infrared Man around these parts! lol… 0 votes ...

Man, I love it. Your gonna have to give a lesson on your secret. Could I do this without starting with an IR image. I would like to try something like this over at the volcano. Its so cool.
Very nice… I especially like the second to last one with the pond… good stuff.
- Joshua
There is something eerily haunting to me about IR images. They’re beautiful but have sort of a mysteriousness to them. Last Sunday at my father’s house I watched a service on the internet, and the day before I watched a wedding. I think everybody, especially if they’re married should go to a wedding now and then, as a reminder of the promises and commitment and miracle it is to get married. Happy shooting tomorrow! Love, Gerrie
Congrats on the new grandbaby! Kaitlyn is the first grandchild on both sides. *groan*. You can imagine the spoiling that is taking place. lol
Those are so kewl!!!!! Fun times!!!
I wish you guys the best with the wedding!! Can’t wait to see some pics! You’re gonna do an awesome job as always!!!!
I love the desat going on in these. That lens is a def soon invesment
awesomeness! I love those shots too. I think that maybe you all should make some of your photos for sale. Mount them and sell them and mail them out to some of us that would love to have copies of them. I really like the shot from the post before this one. That one is really kewl. Anyway, I hope you all are doing well. Aint been a day go by that I have not thought of you all. Everything is awesome here. I am going to try to take some time today to update our site. But give me the whole day………..maybe tomorrow too. Loves you …………………… Kimi (and Flori too)
WOW, GIRL!!! I LOVE THE TRACTOR WITH THE POND ONE AND THE WEDDING LOCATION!!!! AND I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE INFRARED. IT JUST SEEMS TO GIVE PICTURES SO MUCH DEPTH AND CHARACTER!!!!!! AWESOME!!!
LOVE, CHERYL
Hi Kerri,
Love these shots, they are awesome, and I especially like the 2nd last one with the tractor. Thank you so much for your kind comments. Hope you have a great week end too, and have fun doing the wedding.

Here is a shot Brian took while we were checking out the venue for our wedding Saturday…he took this with our converted infrared camera…It looks so surreal doesnt it? 0 votes Share

Thats awesome!!!! wow, the sepia sky in the back really looks insane. I think your onto something. WOW!
hey girl, sorry I havent been by much, I have been such a bad xanga friend eh?? I love that photo, i wish I had some of that kind of software to play with, thats awesome, i would be tweaking all my photos, lol well hope you are staying busy, haha of course you are!! (((hugs)))
:goodjob:In my humble opinion, that shot is worthy of a gallery show!:yes: It reminds me of some of the more famous black and white photography, only this is obviously more of a cutting edge look. Please keep your work! It inspires the artist in me.;-)
:heartbeat:
LOL I meant to write “Please keep posting your work regularly.” Opps my bad:lol:
ryc: Kerri, I am most definitely going to the Davis/Lim seminar. I’ve already registered to take advantage of the early registration price. I hear Canon, Apple, Calumet, and Graphistudio are all going to be there. I’m pretty excited.
It really reminds me of a scripture in Revelations. I’m not sure which… but when I look at the photo, it reminds me of the end times.
I definitely will have to try infared one of these days!
I loved the slide show of Jevorah and David (her name is just awesome!) I really enjoyed the pictures.
Thanks for your comments on my site every now and then and thinking of me!
My hubby just finished my computer couple days ago so I officially have internet connection again!
God Bless!
RYC: That’s Pooh!, He’s two, And a Shih Tzu:-) I love to talk or write in verse, sorry :lol: I’m sorry to learn you weren’t feeling well. I personally understand completely how those fibromyalgia flares are. My new PCP checked me for Vitamin D deficiency and mine was so low it was below the lowest on the old scale. They have recently increased the levels desired for good health. Anyway, if you haven’t had it done yet, please go to your doctor asap and have yours checked. My doctor told me that it’s possible that I may not even have fibromyalgia, although I doubt it since I was dx by one of the best rheumatologists in Houston, but none the less. 1200 iu of Vitamin D a day and 50,000 iu once a week has made incredible improvements. That and also I heard about a study on athletes who drank “Tart Cherry juice” I immediately called my local health food store and I have been drinking organic tart cherry juice mixed with organice apple juice a 1oz tart cherry juice concentrate to 8oz other juice ratio for several months now and have also had improvement from that. It turns out that tart cherry juice is a natural anti inflammatory and that it’s higher than blueberries in antioxidents and several other vitamins and nutrients. These two things have made such an improvement in my quality of life that I strongly urge everyone to check their vitamin D levels. My PCP is in with two rheumatologists and she says that she started checking all her patients Vitamin D (it’s the one we can only get enough of from the sun and since we have all been warned to watch our sun exposure, it’s only to be expected that we would be low, especially in this age of computers and television) Anyway, the doctor says that without fail almost every patient is low in Vitamin D. My neighbor gave me an article she read in the local paper a while back which said that studies had shown sunlight exposure to help people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatique, etc. Sorry I wrote a book but Hey! We have to look out for each other!:-)
Hope all of this helps you. I can’t help but think that so much of what is wrong with so many people is directly due to our lifestyle, eating habits, nutrition of our food, polution of our water, food, and air supplies. And that if we can figure out what we’re doing wrong we can help ourselves get healthier. I believe God created us in perfection and that humanity tends to mess it all up by thinking they know so much when we actually know so very little. Take care of yourself, You live in the Temple of the Holy Spirit!!!!{v}
:wave:for all of your great comments, & answers! I was confused about boy vs. girl ~ she’s a cutie & sure loves her daddy! :heartbeat: Have a great weekend! :sunny::) Love ~ Carolyn
When Xanga is done futzing around with the photo section I will be able to upload the photo that Brian took yesterday…I absolutely love it! I want to blow it up and hang it in my house!! Hint: it is an infrared shot! Share

Can’t wait to see it!:sunny: Your work is so beautiful. :goodjob:Do you have any idea how much joy you bring to people like me with your photography? Just in case you don’t know, let me tell you that the photos of your last wedding made me weep and I don’t even know the couple! Absolutely gorgeous shots!:-)
:heartbeat:
:sunny: :sunny:
Hi, I hope Your week is going well–looking forward to that photo!
God Bless…………:wave:

Great shots love the work I think that you guys have some of the best detail shots
again great job…
SF
:yes:WHat a fun shoot! I always love looking at what you have done! And you guys “done” good! In His amazing love, Paula:heartbeat:
Totally confident that Devorah & David as well as their families are ecstatic about these shots. Great job!
Thanks guys! We really struggled over the song choices….we are still not 100 % happy with them and this is actually the second version. The first one was really kinda over the top on the Jewish songs so we put in the “Come Away” song to add some softness to the ceremony.
Hey if any of you have the perfect song for the ceremony portion let us know…although Mark would kill me if I asked him to change it again!
Hope you enjoyed it!
These are wonderful shots, and the slide show is great. The bride and groom must be so pleased! Great work!
:wave: Thanks Tim! We were actually the second shooters. I think it really is easier for the 2nds to get all the details and alot of the run around shots… the main photographer has the real pressure!
I kinda like second shooting now. We are the main photogs for the next two I wonder if we will see a huge difference?
Kerri
((KERRI)), YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO CAPTURE THE EMOTIONS OF PEOPLE!!!! WHEN I MISS ONE OF YOUR SLIDESHOWS OF A WEDDING OR WHAT HAVE YOU, I FEEL LIKE I’VE MISSED A WEEKLY SERMON…EMPTY, LOL!!!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN YOUR ENDEAVORS OF CAPTURING THE EMOTION OF LOVE EVERYWHERE!
LOVE, CHERYL
:wave: Hi Kerri ~ I watched your slide show last night from my Subscriber List. Very beautiful. Thanks about asking about Dalip . . . Check my site tomorrow. I have to do a post about it. Blessings & Love ~Carolyn :heartbeat:
Hi Kerri,
Loved your slideshow, gorgeous images, filled with happiness. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work, awesome, keep it coming, and you are so right, you need to be so fit and flexible to be a photographer so you can get all those awkward shots, I’m trying to get fit too, I’m gradually getting there.
Hey Kerri and Mark. I have posted on ‘passiondove’ but i will repost here. My xanga site has changed. Explanation on my new site. Will come back later to view the slide show. New xanga site: http://www.xanga.com/baboonya. Love you both dearly. Sara
The slideshow looks great! You guys got some awesome images. Thanks again for all your help. Kerri RYC that’s ok about my showing, it was good and then we went downtown to all the other shows for 2nd saturday.
very nice… ryc: true, unfortunately I can identify with it often as well… in Peace and God Bless.

Hi Kerri,
No, I don’t have any weddings coming up just yet, but I do have plans underway to do weddings eventually. Have a great week too, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your great images, keep them coming.
Thanks for the comments. Yes, she is our daughter, Kaitlyn (our first child). She just turned 8 months old. We thank God for her every single day!!!
Kerri, you did such an amazing job photographing this wedding. So many wonderful images to cherish for a lifetime! I really enjoyed watching the slideshow and great music. Bravo!!!!!!! ~ Dawn
OH GUYS…………that is the most incredible thing I have ever seen. I feel like I know them almost! You have captured the most amazing shots and the slideshow is INCREDIBLE. You should be so proud of where you have come! It has been a blessing to me to see how you began and have come so far. I am so proud of all of you. The slideshow is like a beautiful story……thank you so much for sharing. Love you all and miss you!
You guys did an awesome job on your slideshow. The music goes with the feel. I absolutely love the bride hallway shot. Great job!~Toni
I absolutely love this video! :yes:I love the music!! :yes::yes: I actually felt like I was in my own private movie theater watching a movie ~ I was very touched by it all. :heartbeat: Were those real roses on the cake or was it icing? I especially like that first song with words ~ a worship song to Adonai! What is the name of it, who sings it, & how can I get a copy of it? There were a number of faves ~ was the bride’s child the groom’s best friend? I enjoyed the bridal party shot from the balcony ~ that was cool! As always ~ FANTASTIC!! :goodjob: ~ Love ~ Carolyn
