UCA Cheer Camp in Clearwater

Rock on Astronaut! Our Varsity Cheer Team is the bomb! They are awesome! They had a great time at Camp this year, held at the Sheraton on Clearwater Beach! What a great get away! These girls are always so much fun! I hope you get a chance to see them perform this upcoming school year! If you'd like to see more images from the camp, check them out on my facebook fan page! If you do not belong to facebook, just join (its free) and search in the search box for photoARTworks. As a fan, you'll get notice our specials (just for fans), too!!

Sierra is 16 now

It's crazy to me....how swift these years have come. And it seems the older she gets----the closer she gets to leaving the nest---the faster the time goes.... This year, it's a BIG one for her: 16! She is so very excited, and counts the days and moments until she can drive 'all alone'. Sierra was born the day after her Papa, so we always share a small family gathering to celebrate both birthdays. She also had an intimate gathering of friends here at home for a 'redneck-slip-n-slide' party (BTW, sooooo much more fun than a regular slip-n-slide)!! Oh! Check out her super cool (and incredibly delicious chocolate-mint cake) from Something Sweet in Titusville!

Sierra's big 16 year old gift was instruction & flying a T6 WWII Trainer at Warbird Adventures in Kissimmee. Sierra loves both flying and WWII history so this was an awesome gift for her! We highly recommend this company! They were fabulous! Her instructor-pilot, James, did a fabulous job!!! After her flight, we also purchased a video and some still pictures taken enroute. James even ducked down on one so that it looked like she was the only one in the plane. How cool is that!! You gotta check this company out! It's soooo worth it!

With so much going on with Sierra's b-day, you can imagine there are lots and lots of images! So, I just made a collage of highlights for this post! We love you, Sierra and we are SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!

I had to share with you the pictures of these guys from the party (because, yes, they ROCK). Most of my clients are girls-----where are the boys??

Baleigh 5 Days Old in the Gallery

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord. The fruit of the womb is a reward." Psalm 127:3
It was my pleasure to visit with sweet Baleigh; to hold her, feel her silky skin, smell her new life and capture stunning portraits for her mommy and daddy. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Callie and Austin, for asking me to do this----for it was my pleasure to share in your blessing.
