Put to the perfect music by Julie Meyer ~ Paint Your Picture

To Asher he assigned western Galilee, (Joshua 19:24-31) a region with comparatively low temperature, and much rainfall, making it some of the most fertile land in Canaan, with rich pasture, wooded hills, and orchards; as such Asher was particularly prosperous, and known for its olive oil.

Asher ~ happy, blessed, fortunate, abundance

Happy 90th Birthday!

A man's age is something impressive, it sums up his life:  maturity reached slowly and against many obstacles, illnesses cured, griefs and despairs overcome, and unconscious risks taken; maturity formed through so many desires, hopes, regrets, forgotten things, loves.  A man's age represents a fine cargo of experiences and memories.  
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I am thankful to have been given the opportunity to capture such a wonderful moment.

Another cool morning shoot at Camp Harding Park near Big Pool, MD.  The leaves are still falling and the water's a little cool, but that didn't stop these kiddo's from having a good time! 

This was definitely a fun family shoot, bare feet and all!

Pictures at Little Round Top

What an awesome view from Little Round Top!  A great place for a photo shoot! Little Round Top is the smaller of two rocky hills south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  It was the site of an unsuccessful assault by Confederate troops against the Union left flank on July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg.  Now that you have had your brief history lesson....check out the rest of the shoot!

Hannah ~ 13

What a beautiful fall morning for a photo shoot at Camp Harding Park in Pectonville, MD.  My creative juices were flowing and I just had to drag my daughter out for a photo shoot (and believe me, it wasn't easy!)  Hannah loves to farm and this park had the perfect little farm accents. We even brought her kitty Bandit along to complete the scene.....can't have a farm without a good mouser!
