{Winter Hiatus...Sort of}

This is generally our slow time of year; the time when we regroup after the holidays and plan for bigger and better things in the year to come...but that doesn't mean our cameras are put away.  I decided to put together a little conglomeration of the past few months, just so you can see what goes on in our lives!

Ginger's and Blake on Senior Night (she did make it through without a tear!)

Winter Storm #1...this snow stayed on the ground for nearly two weeks (which is quite a feat in the South).

Kitchen Remodel, Day 1...

Winter Storm #2...the Ice Apocalypse

Kitchen Remodel, Day 2

Our kitchen remodeling project overtook the hallway as well, since these rooms all share a common ceiling and walls.

Pantry done, walnut kitchen cabinets installed!  Cabinets by Grant's Cabinets and Millwork in Conway (these guys do a FANTASTIC job!!!!)

My not-so-baby girl...(sniff) Junior Year, Valentine Auction

Both of them...Luke (8th grade) is almost as tall as Karena is now!

We were playing around, goofing off after we got home and I took this picture...I am seriously in love with this shot...Karena, not so much!

{Sports Shots}

In the past year, I started working on action/sports photography (which is pretty sensible since both my children play sports).  It has been both challenging and rewarding at the same time to try and capture both the action and the personality of those playing the games (because, I'll admit, I love catching those candid shots of players, coaches, and even the fans).  Here are a few of my favorite shots from my son's soccer and my daughter's tennis matches.  Enjoy!!

(Yes, they played tennis in the rain)
