I had a large class (326 to be exact) and our ceremony was held in the UNI Dome at the University of Northern Iowa. It was kinda boring, actually. Music, clapping, music, walk across the stage, clapping, music, speech, clapping, blah, blah, blah. I got home that night, threw my cap on my bed, shrugged my shoulders and went on about the business of being a "real adult". Never crossed my mind again to be honest. I graduated high school....so what?</div><br /><em>Today I have an entirely different perspective.</em><br /><br /><div align="justify">Today is my daughter's last day of high school with the grad ceremony on Sunday. I see things much differently this side of the party! No longer is it just business as usual. Graduation is a BIG DEAL! </div><br /><div align="justify">I'm bursting with pride and fear all at the same time. I will miss tucking her in at night (I actually still do that and she's almost 19!) BUT....have no fear.....I have a plan! Each night she gets 3-4 "tuck in's" to build up and save so that when she moves in August she will have enough stored up until she's home on Christmas break. When I told her that is what I was doing, she laughed (I was expecting an eye roll!). </div><br /><div align="justify"><em>And when I went to walk away the first night, you know what she said? "Do it again, Momma.....I need more!"</em></div><br /><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Even if she is old enough to be a "real adult", she still needs and wants her momma to tuck her in. That right there will get me through the roller coaster of emotions surely to come in the next couple of months. </div><br /><div align="justify"><em>Thank you, God, for a heart that can and does swell over with love and affection for my children. :0)</em></div>Sockrma18http://www.blogger.com/profile/02822511584516839908noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558229842648777446.post-86435161663847077382011-05-05T11:13:00.002-05:002011-05-05T16:05:35.114-05:001 Peter 1:3-9<div align="justify"><em>"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. <strong>In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.</strong> These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. <strong>Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls</strong>." 1 Peter 1:3-9</em></div><br />That tasted JUST.LIKE.CHOCOLATE.....Sockrma18http://www.blogger.com/profile/02822511584516839908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558229842648777446.post-76323070834302382252011-05-05T10:10:00.004-05:002011-05-05T10:37:42.627-05:00A bit overwhelmed....<div align="justify">Today is a day where I find myself simply <em>OVERWHELMED</em>. I can hardly get a grip on things. My intense need to control life is wearing me out. It's my own fault, though. <em>I KNOW better</em>. I KNOW it's not up to me and that change is GOOD! EVERYTHING around me is changing. Some for the better, some not. I just need to figure out how to deal with it.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">Alli graduates from high school in just <em><strong>9 days</strong></em>. Her grad party is this Saturday. With that alone, I'm filled with emotions - pride, overwhelming excitement, fear, worry and all that junk...and all at the same time. She is GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL! Woot! That is an accomplishment for both her and me. My first child making her way into adulthood! Yeah! We did it and without any major scars to our relationship! HAHA!! YES! </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">And then, before I even get that sentence fully typed, I'm filled with fear and worry. What if's and who will's and my heart wants to protect her and be there. BUT, I can't. She is ready....I'm the one who isn't. Yeah, I've been telling everyone I am but, between you and me, I'm not.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">Mark's mom is not getting better....sleeping more, on morphine more each day and it's HARD. Hard to watch her (even though I know where she is going and I WILL see her again), even harder to watch him. She is his mom. She is special to him and vice versa. I never thought it would be this hard. God has it all in His hands and is working this all out before us, but it's still HARD.</div><br /><br /><br /><p><em>I need some stinkin' chocolate.....</em><br /></p>Sockrma18http://www.blogger.com/profile/02822511584516839908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558229842648777446.post-68385484544835358032011-04-21T09:41:00.005-05:002011-04-21T09:55:58.635-05:00Sunday's comin'.....I LOVE THIS VIDEO.

These are some of my favorites I took. She's not only fun to watch, but it's kinda cool to sit back as a parent and watch your kiddo seriously grow right in front of your eyes. One of her games was a serious character ("MOXIE!") builder. Another tested her ability to leave it all on the field. All of them taught her a big lesson - who you are as a player is not only defined by how you play on the field, but even more importantly by how you walk off of it. She knew she could have done better, but she left it at the field - and came back and played better and stronger because of it. </div><br /><div align="left">That makes it worth the sunburn, long hours and not getting anything else done.

I just told you my {upcoming} age. I'll be 40 in September!!!<br /><br /><em>sigh.</em><br /><br /><div align="justify">I've been thinkin' a lot lately about my age. About how I never thought I'd live to be 40 and how at age 20, 40 seemed so....<em>old</em>. It's not, I know, but it's a milestone that needs marked. I used to have a crazy dream....the same one over and over again from the time was a teenager until just recently. It was that I died in a car accident at age 42. Sad, but makes me feel like I need to celebrate my age and DO IT. Do life. Enjoy life. All that....</div><br /><div align="justify">I struggled (that word should <em>really</em> be capitalized it was so bad) when I turned 30. Life changing struggle. I felt like the world was about to stop and all life as I knew it was going to completely end. </div><br /><em>I know, the drama.</em><br /><br /><div align="justify">But it didn't. My kiddos were 9, 3 and 1.5 that year and we have not just survived, but <em>thrived</em> in the last 10 years. I met Jesus (and so did they - AMEN!). I moved two hours from my hometown which was so good for my healing. I met and married the greatest man on earth. They've grown (literally!) and I've grown. Period.</div><br /><div align="justify">And so 40 will be here before I know it (<em>in 193 days to be exact</em>). I've made a list of a few of the things I want to do before my birthday. I reviewed my list from <a href="http://outoftheashesphotography.blogspot.com/2010/05/my-life-list.html">last year </a>and could actually scratch a few more off that list too! Woot! Some of my new things I will do just because I am breathing and some I will have to force myself to do. Some will be easy, some hard. Either way, I'm a list kind a girl so just having an updated list makes me <em>happy</em>.</div><br /><strong><em>Fabulous 40 to do list:</em></strong><br /><br />1. Shoot a gun at a shooting range....<br />2. Drive a super cool car....<br />3. Learn to french braid.....again (this was a big one for me when I turned 30...I learned how to do it then <em>promptly</em> forgot...)....<br />4. Sit on a beach with my toes in the water for as long as I feel like it.... (and by beach I mean CONNECTED TO AN OCEAN, Mark. Gray's Lake does N.O.T. count!)....<br />5. Relax. Schedule less stuff and do more of nothing....<br />6. Send my baby to college....<em>sniff, sniff</em><br />7. Get back in shape....<br />8. Take my family camping....overnight....in the woods....in a tent (this one makes me smile...some of my girls are NOT the outdoors type!)....<br />9. Find a charity that I am passionate about and pour myself in to it. <a href="http://www.teamintraining.org/">LLS</a> has been my charity of choice in the past, but I'm too "old" to run any more marathons....<br />10. Write a letter to my girls telling them how much they mean to me....<br /><br />This list is a work in progress. Bet if I sat here long enough, I'd think of too many things to do!<br /><br />Cheers to turning 40 and being <em>happy</em> about it!Sockrma18http://www.blogger.com/profile/02822511584516839908noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558229842648777446.post-87378008216294980642011-03-08T15:16:00.006-06:002011-03-08T16:01:15.432-06:00A FIRST!!!<div><div><div><div><div align="justify">Last night my church hosted the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition's Eleventh Annual Spring Kickoff. It was the "official" start to the 2012 Iowa Caucuses. </div><br />Please don't judge me. I'm not political. <em>At all.</em><br /><br />But last night was stinkin' <em>COOL</em>.<br /><br /><div align="justify">My pastor asked me to come and take some shots of him with the candidates. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, Former CEO of Godfather's Herman Caine and Former Louisianna Governor and Congressman Buddy Roemer all spoke. Good stuff, really, but if you ask me we need to roll them all in one and then we'd have ourselves a <em>PRESIDENT</em>.</div><br /><em>Just my opinion.</em><br /><br /><div align="justify">Anyway, I had to be part of the official press corp in order to get that exposure. Needed media credentials and all, my friends. Big STUFF. I've never had to do that before and boy was I nervous! When I walked up to the media table to check in and grab my badge, it was sitting next to Greta Van Sustern's badge (of Fox News fame and fortune). Yeah. I didn't take a picture of that....didn't want to look unprofessional or anything. :0)</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip21eieyrUBhJQXjfhVZhULoLPcVW0g8qHwNeXdnUVm13e-gCGZjOtc1GOQfFhKmSTdZzSwkvB6DyNtN5O1bUQqGPkkQ6zHt3eGjOG_Pob3kK_z-ouKvuWOCwqSsoU1eMMtg411MGqHPY/s1600/DSC_0002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581823033550899154" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip21eieyrUBhJQXjfhVZhULoLPcVW0g8qHwNeXdnUVm13e-gCGZjOtc1GOQfFhKmSTdZzSwkvB6DyNtN5O1bUQqGPkkQ6zHt3eGjOG_Pob3kK_z-ouKvuWOCwqSsoU1eMMtg411MGqHPY/s400/DSC_0002.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p align="justify">So, all checked in and off we went, basically following Jeff around and <s>hoping</s> praying for a few good shots. In a room full of somebodies, I was, quite simply, a nobody. The private reception area held all kinds of big wigs, none of which I knew. I'm pretty sure I have no idea what kind of people were breathing the same air I was. Probably a good thing - I was nervous enough.</p><p></p><p>2,000 people showed up - they were expecting 600! It was so crowded and hard to get around. Every time Jeff got near a candidate, someone stepped in my shot.

I didn't realize it had been that long!<br /><br /><em>I miss it.</em><br /><br /><div align="justify">Been a crazy few months. I've found myself lacking the words to express myself lately.

Ready to be outside finding God in all the beauty that is coming. My camera is charged and ready to go. </div><br /><div align="justify">I've done a few gigs this year so far so not totally down and out. Chick Night at church was fun (<em>whoda thought a bunch of junior high and high school girls would get such a kick out of playing dress up and having their picture taken!</em>), a Princess Party (<em>what a COOL party - teaching 100+ little girls about how they are God's princesses! AWESOME.</em>), a few senior shoots and marketing. I've certainly kept busy, but my list hasn't gotten crossed off like I'd hoped.</div><br /><div align="justify">Mark and I are taking a class at church - <em>Pursuit</em> - that is changing the way I see God as well. I'm EXCITED to see what He does with this in my heart. I'm seeing Him in a different light - the right light. </div><br />Gotta run.....<br /><br /><em>I'll be back.</em>Sockrma18http://www.blogger.com/profile/02822511584516839908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558229842648777446.post-60284494461380800012010-12-17T11:04:00.001-06:002010-12-17T13:06:14.219-06:00Note to Self - a reflection of 2010<p align="justify"><em>“If I only knew then what I know now…”</em><br /><br />Boy, do those words make you cringe as you say them, huh? But what a great way to learn and grow and challenge yourself in the future, too.<br /><br />It occurred to me as I was thinking about my annual prayer for the coming year post (click here for <a href="http://outoftheashesphotography.blogspot.com/2008/12/prayer-for-2009.html">2009</a> and <a href="http://outoftheashesphotography.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-prayer-for-2010.html">2010</a>) that there is just so much in 2010 to reflect upon. Some good, some bad and all of it I wish I knew then what I know now. </p><ul><li><div align="justify">You will join the YMCA, hook up with Team in Training for another marathon (this time in San Diego) and raise money like a mad woman. Even when your hip hurts, you’re too tired to fit it all in and it seems like another chore, don’t quit….you WILL regret it. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>COMMIT TO IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">Baby #3 will get braces. Don’t forget to tell her how beautiful she is inside and out as often as possible. She needs to hear it more than you know. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>SAY IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">Baby #4 turns 10. I know, the last of your babies is no longer single digits. It’s sad, but not the end of the world. Your babies are growing up faster than you’d like, but enjoy the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">rollercoaster</span> ride. On every curve, massive climb and then rush down hill, throw your hands up and laugh. Scream like a girl if you must, but the ride just won’t last long enough. <em></em></div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>ENJOY IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">You will go on your first college visit with Baby #1. It will be hard and you will feel like you are about to have your right arm ripped off. Trust me….this gets easier. She <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">doesn</span>’t want to let go of you any more than you want to let go of her, but you both will be better for it. <em></em></div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>CELEBRATE IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">Baby #2 will finally get her driver’s permit with a little coaxing. Drivers Ed will soon start and even though her driving scares you, you can’t keep her in the house and safe forever. She’s a good driver and with some practice she will be just fine. And the best part? You will also learn that you love her because you want to, not because you have to.</div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>RELAX ABOUT IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">Suddenly, business will pick up. You won’t leave yourself enough time to enjoy the amazing gift that God has given you. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>SCHEDULE IT.</em> </p><ul><li><div align="justify">Baby #4 makes a competitive soccer team. You are so proud and could not be happier to be “that mom”, but you thought you were busy before? <em>Not hardly</em>. Don’t forget to schedule time for your family to simply sit in front of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tv</span> together doing nothing. <em></em></div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>PRIORITIZE IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">You will shoot your first wedding – and fall in love with capturing people who are<em> in love</em>. Never forget to look at your husband with that starry-eyed look every time he comes in the room. He is your biggest fan, your sounding board and the one who really does love you for exactly the way you are. You two are that <em>in love</em> couple. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>REJOICE IN IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">You learn very quickly that for every <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">photoshoot</span> you needed to schedule post-production time. You stress and sometimes do less than you should, but you are learning. Be open to better ways to do things and stop kicking yourself when you don’t do it right. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>BE OPEN TO IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">You turn 39. Last of the “under the hill” years begins. Don’t stress that either. No matter how hard you try, you will hit 40 regardless. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>EMBRACE IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">Because of your busy schedule, you will lose focus on hearing God's voice. <em>Clean your ears out, dummy.</em> He is speaking and you can't hear it because you have filled your quiet space with needless noise. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>STOP IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">Your husband will take a massive leap of faith and start his own business. It won't be easy. He will need your support, your undying devotion, your wise wisdom about some things some of the time and for you to stop talking and just listen most of the time. He has a vision, a dream, a prayer and a hope. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>BELIEVE IN IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">Someone your husband dearly loves is slowly dying in front of you. She is a great woman. One of the best. You learn to love her, too, a second mom. Give her all that you have and don't leave anything unsaid or undone. You are learning what it means to just "be" with someone. Giving your heart, your time and your attention - it's priceless to her....and you.</div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>SHARE IT.</em></p><ul><li><div align="justify">Open your heart when you feel the desire to close it. Take off the blinders when its easier to move ahead without looking around. Choose to love instead of dislike. Learn from your mistakes instead of beating yourself down. IN ALL THINGS, REJOICE in the gifts you have been given. Good, bad or ugly, all of it is because you are loved by HIM and HE has a purpose and a plan. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><em>FOLLOW IT.</em></p><p align="justify">2010 has been quite a year. I'm excited for the future and am for the first time in a really long time (if ever) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ok</span> with not seeing what's next. All I do know is in 2011 I'll hold fast and pray for God's wisdom, peace and understanding.</p><p></p><p></p><p align="left"><em>“If I only knew then what I know now…”</em></p>Sockrma18http://www.blogger.com/profile/02822511584516839908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558229842648777446.post-81712586673566243862010-12-10T10:30:00.005-06:002010-12-10T11:13:52.768-06:00Mama said there'd be days like this....<div align="justify">What a day. Not really anything major, but I <em>feel</em> my heart pull today.....in the wrong direction.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">I woke up grumpy for really no good reason. I went to bed grumpy last night just the same.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">I have a million excuses for why I'm grumpy....all revolving around 4 children who can't seem to figure out how to do a single chore without having to be told, encouraged...ok....<em>yelled at</em>. How a child (she's EIGHTEEN) can be lazy enough to leave her laundry in the washer and dryer for three days even after I moved them for her twice, or how another child (she's SEVENTEEN) can't figure out how to get said clothes from the dryer to the lazy sister in order to do her own laundry without asking how to do it (and then proceeding to dump my DIRTY clothes on my BED to use MY basket). </div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"><em>Seriously. GRRROWL.</em></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">Oh, there's more. Like how someone can brush their teeth and not rinse the sink afterwords (can you say yuck?). Or how someone can leave every single thing they own practically on the couch tables every night and not care that it's all piled up around them as they sit on the couch (can you say claustrophobic?) . Or how someone can scoop out one cup of dog food for one dog while the other is outside knowing the one scoop is not enough for both dogs, but doesn't care to just scoop ONE MORE CUP (can you say selfish?). Or how I've worked ALL DAY at one job then get home at night to spend hours on the computer doing what needs done for the second job and everyone else in the house seems to be sitting around eating bon bons and watching their favorite tv shows (yes, I'm a bit jealous) and I have to STOP what I'm doing to get lazy children numbers 3 and 4 to take a SIMPLE shower (they are NOT babies!). All the while explaining <em>AGAIN</em> how it's NOT.OK.TO.BE.A.DIRTY.PIG.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">I'm exhausted.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">I feel disrespected.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">I work hard and no one really seems to care.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">I have to go to a holiday party (in my absolute GRINCH mood) and spend my precious time with people I don't really care about (I go because I love my husband, but seriously, I'm borderline anti-social here).</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">I feel like taking a nap and HOPING that someone other than me will load and unload the dishwasher without being asked and without a heavy sigh of "woe is me" from people who have NO IDEA what a woe is really about.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">Don't get me wrong. Our home isn't horribly filthy, and I'm probably a bit hyper-sensitive to things that need done and simply ARE NOT getting done. Our home looks lived in and it's too small for 6 people so the problem is probably just compounded by that. Either way I CAN'T STAND IT. I should just clean it myself every week, but for cryin' out loud. I have TWO nearly fully time jobs already! I thought I raised my girls better than that....to want to live somewhere at least decent enough for people to stop in unexpectantly (hell to the no!) or to want to be able to have friends over without being embarrassed (clearly they are not).</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"><em>Oh, well.</em></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">Mama said there'd be days like these....</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div>Sockrma18http://www.blogger.com/profile/02822511584516839908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558229842648777446.post-83628289137169840682010-12-02T08:49:00.004-06:002010-12-03T08:54:23.187-06:0044....<div align="justify">44 years ago today the world was made a better place when the cutest blond baby boy entered the world.</div><br /><div align="justify"><em>I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS DAY 44 YEARS AGO.</em></div><br /><div align="justify">Today my adorable husband turns 44. Sometimes he acts like he's 4 and other times he acts like he's 84, but ALL THE TIME, I love him.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">It's been a crazy year since his last birthday. We've grown in our marriage exponentially. We've fought and made up and laughed and cried. He took a GIANT leap of faith and followed God's lead by starting his own business. He continued to give so selflessly of his time at church with the 2nd and 3rd graders (no easy task, but the boys look up to him and the girls fight over who gets to sit next to him during lesson time). He put on his cape (<em>he is a super hero, ya know</em>) and came to the rescue of many people in desperate need of God's truth regarding their finances. He held the hand of those who are sad and hurt by situations that make no sense. He continued to be a source of strength for his parents in times when no one else seems to be able to do so. He leads with a quietness that makes everyone around him feel safe and well taken care of. </div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"><em>He is MY husband.</em></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">Mark: I continue to thank God for you every single day. You are such an amazing person, someone to be respected, adored and admired. I pray that the next year brings us much happiness and that your work that God has given you continues to bless others, bring you joy and give glory to Him at every twist and turn. THANK YOU for choosing me. My life and the lives of our girls has FOREVER changed because you are exactly who you say you are....a man of God first, the husband of my dreams, the kind of dad every daughter dreams of and a friend many are lucky to know.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"><strong>HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Marky.</strong></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"><em>I love ya, babe.</em></div><br /><em>"I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus." ~ 1 Corinthians 1:4</em>Sockrma18http://www.blogger.com/profile/02822511584516839908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558229842648777446.post-70399132259616300182010-11-29T15:45:00.001-06:002010-11-29T15:50:35.061-06:00Matt & Jamey - a wedding to remember....<p>Enjoy the highlights from this wedding filled with love and laughter!<object id="vp1R1oLa" height="240" width="432" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="_cx" value="11430"><param name="_cy" value="6350"><param name="FlashVars" value=""><param name="Movie" value="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1291067317&f=R1oLa172V9MR3paxY0ZOzg&d=255&m=p&r=w+s&i=m&ct=Out%20of%20the%20Ashes%20Photography&cu=http://www.outoftheashesphoto.com&options=start_hq"><param name="Src" value="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1291067317&f=R1oLa172V9MR3paxY0ZOzg&d=255&m=p&r=w+s&i=m&ct=Out%20of%20the%20Ashes%20Photography&cu=http://www.outoftheashesphoto.com&options=start_hq"><param name="WMode" value="Window"><param name="Play" value="-1"><param name="Loop" value="-1"><param name="Quality" value="High"><param name="SAlign" value="LT"><param name="Menu" value="-1"><param name="Base" value=""><param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="Scale" value="NoScale"><param name="DeviceFont" value="0"><param name="EmbedMovie" value="0"><param name="BGColor" value=""><param name="SWRemote" value=""><param name="MovieData" value=""><param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="1"><param name="Profile" value="0"><param name="ProfileAddress" value=""><param name="ProfilePort" value="0"><param name="AllowNetworking" value="all"><param name="AllowFullScreen" value="true"><embed id="vp1R1oLa" src="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1291067317&f=R1oLa172V9MR3paxY0ZOzg&d=255&m=p&r=w+s&i=m&ct=Out%20of%20the%20Ashes%20Photography&cu=http://www.outoftheashesphoto.com&options=start_hq" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="432" height="240"></embed></object></p>Sockrma18http://www.blogger.com/profile/02822511584516839908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558229842648777446.post-71831672809166211352010-11-11T20:07:00.003-06:002010-11-11T20:14:41.002-06:00Laughter....<div align="justify">It really is one of God's greatest gifts....and my absolute favorite thing to catch in a photo.

I'm pretty sure we laughed all afternoon. This family = too funny. They call mom Vivo (Vivian) and dad DJ (his initials). Only time I ever heard "mom" was when Vanessa would yell "MA!" like a good italian girl from Jersey. Believe me when I tell you she is NOT from Jersey....rather a small farm town in Iowa. We just don't have accents like that. She was seriously channeling some Jersey girl. :0)</div><br /><div align="justify">They also had a plan.....and, man, do I love a plan. They knew where they wanted to go and what they wanted to do. I got to take them to one of my favorite places too....the campus of Central College in Pella. <em>Beau-t-ful.</em></div><br /><div align="justify">So here are my favorite out-takes and the ones that worked.
