Today has been an encouraging day, after a less than stellar week. Something about the break from the summer heat. The overcast day and cool breeze are lifting my spirits. Isn’t that strange? Overcast skies are famous for making everyone melancholy. Even sad. And yeah, I wouldn’t mind curling up in a blanket and watching a movie now (preferably one set in Autumn so I could pretend that the 98 degree weather isn’t coming back anytime soon), but I would be happy. Not weepy. Part of my mood is due to my Jonathan coming back from a three day conference in Alabama. Part of it is because my coffee was extra good this morning. And part of it is because I know that no matter what happens, I am taken care of. God is always watching out for me. Paying attention to me. And cares about me and my family. If you follow me on Twitter or are my friend on facebook, you may have seen that my brother was in a bad motorcycle wreck two Fridays ago. It was scary. Terrifying, even. John was in the hospital for a few days with internal bleeding but has recovered quickly. He’s still in pain but he’s home now under the care of family and his beautiful fiance. I’m so thankful that he’s still here. Thankful that everything works together for good. So, yeah. I’m happy. Thanks for allowing me to post something more personal today. I guess this weather also makes me write more!
Now, on to the photos of Nikki! I’ve known this gorgeous girl for years. Our families used to go to church together and I have always loved seeing Nikki. She’s so beautiful, but unassuming. She may seem shy at first but I know her better than that! Whenever Nikki and I are together we are constantly cracking up! You’ll see some laughing photos later in this post :)
Don’t you love her long, dark hair? I do!
Serious cuteness going on here. . .
Hello, gorgeous!
We goofed off just a little bit with this frame I brought . . .
We found a few new locations to shoot. . . this one was very tempting. I wanted those doors!!
We finished the session by dressing down and hanging out on the parking deck with Nikki’s longboard.
LOVE this. You all know by now I’m a sucker for shoe shots!
I wish I could do stuff like this without hurting myself!
We’ll end with my fave from the session. . .
Her smile is lovely!
