Morning Mist - Buttermilk Falls High School Senior Portrait - Black Hawk High School

Morning Mist - Buttermilk Falls - High School Portrait

One of my favorite places to photograph portraits is Buttermilk Falls.  It is located very close to Beaver Falls and is one of the nicest places to photograph a water fall in the area (that I know).  However, the falls is not limited to fast moving water and beautiful trees and rocks.  At the top of the falls is a beautiful white church and off to the side and before the railroad tracks is this open field.  On this particular day the grass was very high and moved ever so gently in the morning breeze.  The sun was playing hide and seek behind the overcast skies but it created a beautiful glow on the grass and Lexi.  Lexi, a class of 2012 senior was wearing a very simple but nice summer dress on and it seemed to fit perfectly in this setting.  These are the type of images that I believe would make a beautiful large canvas print.  The soft colors and textures are enhanced by the subtle beauty of a canvas print.

Another option for this type of image is a greeting card and could be used for various themes.  Maybe a general thinking of you card or a get well card.  The simple but peaceful setting creates an almost endless list of possibilities.

Welcome to the world Rielle - Baby pictures and another miracle of God demonstrated

Monday, May 30th, my youngest daughter gave birth to her second child.  A beautiful baby girl weighing in over 9 pounds.  Wow!  How can such a small woman give birth to a baby over 9 pounds? Her delivery was very quick and without issues.  (Thank you Lord!)

We arrived early in the day to the hospital since her water 'partially' broke early in the morning but not much was happening.  She sat on the bed, talked, and laughed with her family and best friend.  We chatted and walked around for a few hours while she continued to get ready for the baby to be born.  Then around 1302, Dan (her husband) came out and told us that it was "game time".  (I will spare all the other details.) Thirty three minutes later Rielle Reign entered this amazing world weighing in at 9 pounds 1 oz and 22 1/2 inches singing and filling the room with her voice.  Oh what a beautiful sound to hear.  The cry of a new born child.

My daughter looked amazing after she delivered her daughter.  To quote her - "I didn't break a sweat!"  By God's amazing grace, her delivery went without any issues and you can see in the bottom photo that her hair was not messed up.  :-D
