Emma Grace 8 months

Growing, growing, growing! Just about ready to crawl.

Emma Grace 7 months

I have so enjoyed watching Emma grow. She changes daily and is such a joy to be around.

Hey everyone.

As most of you know, in 2008 I spent four months serving in New York as a photographer for a non profit organization. The main purpose of my time was to photograph ethnic groups/religions for a book that was being put together with extensive research. The idea behind it was much like Operation World, but with more photos.

This book is pretty awesome and I am so glad I was apart of it. So whether it's just a coffee table picture book for you or a way to pray for specific groups in New York, your support is greatly appreciated and needed. ALL proceeds go to church planting in Metro New York.

ethNYcity: The Nations, Tongues, and Faiths of Metropolitan New York is $25 and can be purchased at http://www.ethnycitybook.com/ For local people, I do have a box of books that can save you a little on shipping.

The top photos on the cover are mine as well as the two bottom left ones.

Pretty cool!

Mr. Bill and Sarah

So I showed up with no camera, but magically found a camera upon arriving. Here are a few of my favorites. It was a perfect day for an outside wedding. I'm glad I could help out.

Big Boy!

Time flys! Nathan is now SIX months. This is really just a tease. More photos soon.

Meet Quinn

Miss Quin, I so look forward to getting to know you! Your smile is contagious.

Tis the Season

For Thanksgiving I traveled way South and finally met my niece Emma. This of course meant photo shoot! I loved spending time with her. The poor child went through a lot to get these photos, but I'm sure 20 years from now she'll say, "it was worth it." ha! Looking forward to watching you grow up Emma.

Izzy is probably the most trained dog you will ever meet. She seriously went and posed herself on our back drop wanting attention from the camera. I spoiled the child and added the hat.

Anna Banana

I had a photo date with little Miss Anna a few weeks ago. We had such a fun time just her and I. Lots of laughs, hugs and tickles. Such a sweet friend.

Meet Nathan.

I am graced by Nathan's presence daily. He is such a joy and calming spirit to be around. I so enjoy caring for Nathan. Lucky for him I snap a few photos every so often to show off his handsomeness. (that's a word, right?) Nathan is now 3 months!

Expecting.

I am so excited that the day came to finally take my sisters maternity photos! Chris and Shannon are expecting Emma Grace in late October. Emma will be the cutest gal ever and I get to be not only her personal photographer, but most importantly her Aunt. I need to decide if I want to be called Aunt Kristine or Tia Kristine. hmm ...

We all wait with excitement, Emma, for your arrival! You are loved.

Mrs. Jackson

I feel like I have been waiting FOREVER to post Stephanie's bridal portraits! Now that she is Mrs. Jackson, the wait is over. This was my first time doing bridals and I hope it is not my last. I had so much fun! I will be in the UK for 2 weeks, but hopefully soon after returning I will post Henry and Stephanie's wedding. It was great getting to know you better Steph. Thanks for trusting me.

Scott and Deanna : Wedding

I had the honor of shooting Scott and Deanna's wedding last weekend. They are such a fun couple and it certainly was a fun day! It was so great to see all our friends who have moved away. Thank you Scott and Deanna for trusting me with your special day and bringing us all together. Congrats on 'tying the knot!' :)
