He is getting big. You should really have fun taking pics of him with his fantastic expressions.

I think there should be a Grandparents Day, don’t you?
Of course when you tell us to not read on if we’re on a diet, our sinful nature is going to cause us to read even more carefully!!! Now I’m craving hot bread with butter. Thanks Kerri…..the only way for you to redeem yourself in our friendship is to bake that exact same bread for me one of these days.

Sweet pixes of baby and mom!!! You sound BUSY with all wedding shoots and your pictures are so beautiful! Yep, freshly baked bread with butter is one of life’s best simple things to enjoy!

It’s so neat to see him grow up. Babies are the cutest from about 3 months to 9 months. Happy Father’s Day!! – David

I love these pictures! :goodjob: Baby Jayden is so precious (& his mom, too)! That last one made me smile, too!

Hi Kerri,
Those images are just beautiful, and isn’t Jayden getting big now. I tell you what, it’s freezing cold here in Toowoomba at the moment, 0.8 degrees celsius with a wind chill factor of -16 a few days ago. We even had sleet. Today is a lot better now that the wind has dropped, but at least we are getting some welcome rain at long last.
Christine
Watching my husband over the years and seeing the difference between how fathers can be with their children I am always reminded of how God is a Father and how He is the perfect Father. When I was growing up I did not know who God was at all. I was raised by my...

heyheypaula - June 17, 2007 - 11:30 AM
:heartbeat:Ohhhhhhhhh, Kerri, you ALWAYS bless me…Although I have never met you, I feel a strong connection with you. God has a way of knitting hearts together! I am so thankful that our Lord used xanga to cross my path with yours. And now, dear sister in Christ, we need pictures of that grandbaby on this Father’s Day!

Kimi…I love you! You are a dear friend and I appreciate you so much.
maryhurlbut - June 17, 2007 - 3:20 PM
My heart is aching, your father could be my youngest sister Cathy who has an inoperable brain tumor and continew to reject Christ and gets angry when we mention Him. Pry she will turn to Him before her last breath.:heartbeat:
mommyfish - June 17, 2007 - 5:28 PM
Thanks for sharing your heart…this is my third Father’s Day without my Dad…I miss him terribly.
Iowa_Deb - June 17, 2007 - 10:56 PM
I’m sorry to hear your dad died without accepting Jesus. I’m afraid my husband may do the same. Where in Iowa does your family live? Maybe I’m close to them. Maybe you’ve told me before and I’ve forgotten.
portiajules - June 17, 2007 - 11:51 PM
What an amazing gift your uncle gave you by letting you know he saw your father in Heaven…the one thing I know for sure is that Jesus and His Father are the most forgiving of all of us…Jesus is SO Cool…He loves everyone..where ever they are at with Him…Tonight I will ask Jesus to give you a special hug in your slumber…
With Love..Charlotte
lydellphoto - June 18, 2007 - 12:53 AM
Iowa Deb, My aunt whom I got the call from lives in Garner Iowa. My uncle who died lived in Redwood Falls Minnesota. I believe that my father actually got the opportunity to give up and give in at the last moment…and that is the grace of God…it took hours for him to pass on. It was long and hard to watch but the Drs. say he wasnt in pain…so I think he had a long time to think about what was happening to him.
Charlotte…that blessed me so much…I cant wait to get that hug!!!! You are so thoughtful cause I could use a hug! Its been a long hot couple of weeks working out doors in very HOT weather! So a hug would be so awesome….

scottrobert - June 18, 2007 - 3:02 AM
thank you for sharing such a personal story, it really touched my heart. may God continue to give you peace and bless your wonderful family. God will certainly use your life and your story about your father.

That’s awesome. Our family had a deaf foster child, when I was a teenager. So stories like this touch my heart. :heartbeat:
ShutterbugTim - June 12, 2007 - 10:28 AM

NaNa2003 - June 12, 2007 - 10:37 AM
Can’t wait to see the wedding pics!
Kerri, have you heard from Sara recently? She hasn’t been online in forever. I know she does this now and then, but just wondered if you’ve heard anything.
Blessings,
Paula
hannahb2bw - June 12, 2007 - 10:58 AM
Hello, I used to work at the Florida School for the deaf and blind for two years although i don’t work there anymore. I worked in a dorm with deaf children and my brother is deaf as well
irisinbloom - June 12, 2007 - 1:49 PM
I’m so jealous! I want a ShootSac! Looking forward to seeing pictures from your weddings this weekend. Hope they both went well for you. I’m going to be assisting a friend with a wedding this weekend so hopefully I’ll have some new pictures to post soon. I haven’t shot anything other than my boys since May 18th and I miss it!
Borelfoto - June 12, 2007 - 4:39 PM
:goodjob: It was great shooting with all of you on Sunday. Now I know what its like to shoot with SuperMark:fun: and his team of highly skilled Canon shooters! Can’t wait to see the slideshow from both of your weddings.
hannahb2bw - June 12, 2007 - 5:28 PM
Thanks! Sarah Dawson shot a lot of the pictures for me wedding. She is wonderful! And I know what you mean about sign language..it gets harder if you don’t use it, just like any language. I like hanging out with my brother so I can practice signing.

Say James….I keep getting knocked of your site because of some plug in issue… : ( but your post was hilarious!

hisprayerwarrior - June 12, 2007 - 8:46 PM
Good for Chelsea! I read the WSJ article, and it included other sites that have vlogs (besides UTube). Some of the ASL vlogs are interesting, and some on You Tube or whatever you call it are hilarious, especially the ones advertising a video relay service (the “bad” vrs services are portrayed as so bad to be hilarious!). Love to Chelsea! Love to you guys too, Gerrie

hahaha omgosh ur shooting the wedding there? i just shot a wedding there a month ago! u might see some of my photos look familiar! :goodjob:
ShutterbugTim - June 11, 2007 - 11:26 AM
you must be worn out! looking forward to all the great shots.
saphoto - June 11, 2007 - 1:37 PM
Kerri, yah empire state mine park is such an incredible place. i hope i get a wedding there of my own so i can actually position people the way i want them to be. there that area with all the rose and arches i didnt get to take photos in, such a ideal setting for some really tuscanaro look. very warm for colors but looks awesome. its funny you asked about my second shooter, that was actually my roll for the wedding! =) i got to do a few things i wanted but i had to stay out of the way for the most part!
i love how sharp primes are. want to eventually give a good number of primes a world but perhaps when i make more money to afford all that gear. im definitely a wedding photographer on a budget, not that i want to be but cuz thats my financial situation! one day…one day! =) sounds like you guys have a pretty good team there for shooting weddings! =)
in anycase thanks for always leaving such kind words. i think my style is slowly developing. i do know i love rich color! =)
