A Cull Family Christmas!

Let the Holidays begin! I had so much fun with the Culls at my first photo session for the 2011 Holiday Season, and what a blast it was!  James and McKenzie are just the cutest All-American kids! Thank you, Mindy, for allowing me to capture your beautiful family’s memories year after year! xoxo, Dusty

Little Miss Sloan Rich Haberer {Born 6.10.11}

What an amazing little gift from God, Sloan was not only beautiful but such a little angel as well! I had such a wonderful time photographing her and her Big sister Hunter Rose and Big Brother Colby,

they were all smiles holding their new little sister. Here are some of my favorite photos from the session and this was hard cause there were so many to choose from……..

 

Thanks again Kim for allowing me into your home to capture these special moments

Glynn + Krissy = <3 Mr. and Mrs. Ross <3

Krissy and Glynn are high school sweethearts who separated, then found each other years later and fell in love instantly, picking right back up where they left off!  After seeing some of my photos on display at Miracle View Ultra Sound, Krissy called me to book a maternity session. When I met her for the shoot, we realized our babies-on-the-way were due about two weeks apart! The moment I met her I felt like she was my sister, with so many shared values, thoughts and ideas, similar pasts and upbringings. Add to that the fact that we were experiencing incredibly similar life events at the same time! Needless to say, we became instant friends. I continued to do her little girl Abby’s newborn photos and photos thereafter of her family every couple of months. Krissy and I grew closer and closer and she is now one of my closest and best friends in the whole world! I believe God places people in our lives for a reason. She is definitely one of those people, and God has truly blessed and enriched my life in so many ways through my dear friend!

I have known Glynn now for about a year and I just love him. He is such a great guy and is amazing with Abby! I am so happy they reconnected. They make an excellent couple and a beautiful family! They were married on August 13, 2011 on Hermosa Beach, in California and it was such a beautiful wedding!! I love when weddings are intimate and full of love and this one was at the top of my list for most amazing! I love seeing the love they have for one another…I must say I teared up a few times during the ceremony!

I feel so blessed to have you guys in my life and even more blessed that I was able to share this day with you both and your families!

love always, Dusty

How cute is he??? After doing Jennifer and Stephen’s maternity shoot, then Jackson’s newborn pictures, I had the pleasure of photographing his four-month-old photos, and what a blast it was! As you can see, he was an easy subject! I love watching him grow up and getting to know your family better. I can’t wait to capture more sweet moments in the years to come! xoxo, Dusty

 

…and Blake Makes Three! {7.25.11}

I had so much fun photographing the newest addition to the Walker family, little Blake, born on July 25th! His brothers were so proud to show him off, and for good reason! I’ve had the honor of photographing the Walker family since before Elliott was even born! I have enjoyed watching your family grow over the years, and I am so thankful you have chosen me to capture such sweet moments. xoxo, Dusty

Owl Love You Forever {5.5.11}

So one day I was sitting on Facebook and I ran across a posting from Shayla talking about this non-profit organization that she had started after the loss of five beautiful children that were born into heaven and are now with the Lord. My heart tingled and after reading her and Arie’s story of the past couple years and what they have gone through as a young married couple, I wanted to help in any way possible.

I feel that God has blessed me with an eye to see the beauty in life and to capture it on film for people to have and cherish. I cherish nothing more then giving my time and talent to people who are in need and are doing amazing things for others, and that is just what this organization Owl Love You Forever does. Please take just one second out of your busy day to one thank the Lord for all the many blessings in your lives and two see what gift God has given you that you can use to help others. Also anything helps if you would love to donate an Owl, Blanket, or Box please go to www.owlloveyouforever.org

Thank you Shayla and Arie for allowing me to be apart of this amazing organization that you have given your heart and soul too!

xoxo Dusty
