Little Finn {baby portraits}

This is my very 1st baby portrait session and I think it turned out better than I expected! I was thrilled to get this opportunity.  Life is an amazing gift and not to mention a complete miracle!  

Finn is now 6 weeks old and is quite the sleeper, but not this day, he was awake for most of the time we were there and so that limited the amount of sleeping baby photos that are so precious! But we did manage to sang a few. I'm very excited to introduce to you all Finn!

Have a blessed Christmas!


And here's a few words of encouragement I found this week. Enjoy.

Cheers,

The Weinlands {Family Portraits}

What an extraordinary family The Weinlands are. With God as the center of this family it's evident that God shines his light and blessing on those who honor Him. What a blessing it is to know this family and to see the little ones grow up. I had a BLAST shooting this family in November and I wanted to get some more of the session up on the blog. Also, I just took some newborn photos of Finn and those will be up shortly as well.

Enjoy the photos! 

 

Baby Finn... photos coming soon!

Christmas Cookie Decorating + BC {Personal}

Tis' the season! This season is by far the best part of the year! I love the gatherings and the reason behind the season. It's a great time of the year to reflect and learn from this past year and think about the future. Tonight was our youth groups Christmas party at church and we had a cookie decorating contest and I took it way to seriously.... I got a little carried away and spent probably an hour working on mine.

Below are some images of my masterpiece, enjoy.

Also, I have been dreaming a little while about the direction of my photography and what it looks like for me in 2011. I am just excited about what the future holds. I know I have a lot of years ahead of me and I'm so blessed and thankful for this time I have to grow and learn and do what I love!

Here they are! Aren't they perdy?

Until next time!

Cheers,
Tessa

Joel & Dani {Engagement}

This bright young couple are engaged to be married! These are two of my very good friends from the Honor Academy and I'm thrilled to show you some photos from our "mini" engagement session we did today!

These two were made for each-other. They really are two peas in a pod. Such amazing Godly couple and I'm so excited to see what the Lords going to do in their lives. It's going to be incredible!

Here they are!

Here's a look into the day before today, as the day that Joel popped the question.

These photos were taken on the journey that Joel set Dani out on the morning of November 27th. 

Floating on this here pond is a box on some foam. And in that box, the ring. 

Joel planted horses on their "walk" so they took the horses and Joel then brought Dani to a nice picnic where they ate lunch together.

They then got back on the horses to finish their ride. And this is where Joel lead Dani to a big "present" in the path they were on. In the "present" (box the size of a refrigerator) Inside was another box with a fishing pole and the line had gone threw the box and was attached to the floating foam present in the middle of the pond. This is then where Joel pops the question. 

There they are! Arn't the cute!!! 

What a day! 

Cheers,

Gobble Gobble {Happy Thanksgiving}

This is my first Thanksgiving as a Harvey ;-) I enjoyed spending the holiday with my new family! I did miss home and my family back in WA a lot too.

Here is a photo collection of our Thanksgiving. Just a taste of how we Harvey's rock it.

I've been so blessed to be apart of this amazing family what a joy they all have been in my life thus far. Derek and I are so blessed by the Church were involved with and the family that surround us. God's blessed us and it's not by our own doing or actions but by his grace. It's amazing and this holiday season is a good reminder to be thankful for what we have. Not just on thanksgiving. But always. Be thankful and grateful for the blessings and for the things we take for granted.

Hope you enjoy the photos!
