my most favorite video slideshow!
i just loved this couple…a little late on the video (have been terribly behind from all the crazy computer issues) You may have already seen some of their photos, but here is the video slideshow. Video clips are done on a flip –
I am so excited about the music…. the song is by Jillian Grutta & Frank Maroney . You can buy it on itunes! Jillian was one of my seniors from a few years ago. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!
You will need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the blog and click stop on the music player before playing the video (otherwise you will have music clashing together)

faith

i believe in the sun, even when it doesn’t shine.

i believe in love, even when it isn’t shown.

i believe in God, even when he doesn’t speak.
………………….. (Found on the wall of a Concentration Camp)

how beautiful it is to see the sun shining, feeling loved, and EVEN MORE amazing when God speaks to you or when he answers a much needed prayer!!! There is nothing in the world that compares!!! xo, christina

my love.

I don’t think I take as many pictures as I should or would like to of my own kids. I had a few minutes to capture a couple of pics of my daughter today….she is growing up on me way too fast. She is such a wonderful girl. I am so very blessed. Unfortunately, didn’t get any of my wild man….it was beyond naptime for him. I will need to do a session with them very soon!:)

after I asked McKenna this question over the phone, she repeated the question back to her family and I could hear her dad answer….”how much she loves her dad”….and then heard lots of laughing… I got to meet “dad” at the ordering session and he really seems like a fun, loving, awesome dad! Loved this family! I really enjoyed meeting this family and photographing McKenna! She is beautiful and such a sweet girl!
