Since this page also documents my journey and development as a photographer, I thought I'd share this happy moment with you!
This is the school I've been doing my training through, and the first ever photography competition I've entered.
My gift certificate will be used toward a future course, so I can take even more beautiful photos of all of YOU!! 😊

Congratulations to Cornelia McDermott for her photo "Fall Of Color" which was a finalist in our "Colors" Photo contest.

Sometimes when you edit your photos you come across classics like these. 😆
The dad did this totally on purpose, and it just reminds me that we should never stop having fun, no matter how old we get... (not that I'm calling you old or anything Ted 😉)

As the last of the leaves are falling and the days turn colder, I'd like to share some highlights of the fall minis. Most photoshoot days were cloudy, but the families brought their own sunshine and I loved it all so much!
Christmas minis coming your way soon...
Love, Cornelia

*Some thoughts to ponder for the moms*

This little guy woke up with some baby acne on the day of his photoshoot, and you know what he told me?
He said, "No, I do not want to reschedule the photoshoot. Why should I feel self-conscious about these red spots? Adjusting to life outside the womb is rough at times, and there will be evidence of that. I wear these spots proudly, because it reminds me of the miracle of being born".

Ok fine, he didn't actually *tell* me this, being a baby and all, but I'm sure he was thinking it!

And it made me think in turn of the moms out there who aren't too fond of their post pregnancy bodies. If that is you, I just want to lovingly remind you that you GREW A HUMAN!!! That is incredible, and incredibly hard on the body. And there will be evidence of that. Rather than feel self-concious about said evidence, feel proud. There are things outside of your control, and things inside of your control. For the things outside your control - wear those stretch marks and scars with pride. It is a reminder of the miraculous journey your body has been through.
And for the things inside your control, if you have goals for yourself by all means keep working toward them. But love your body during the process too. Don't shy away from having your picture taken with your kids because you don't look the way you used to. Learn from this baby and his acne. You will treasure those photos in the years to come, I promise.

Oh, and this goes for ageing too - be proud of those wrinkles and gray hair! It is evidence of adventures had and wisdom gained...

Love, Cornelia 💜

Every newborn, every day:

"Mmmm, shall I be cute as a button today, or keep my parents up all night...?

Both. I think I'll do both" 😁

P.S. Baby struck this pose all by himself!

This amazing couple has babysat more kids in our church than I can count, bravely said yes to fostering 3 kids in the middle of a pandemic last year, and now became parents to this cutest little dude. I love you so much, and I am so happy I can share in your joys and challenges.
Love, Cornelia ♥️
