Another BIG day - Graduation

Here are some pics from our oldest daughter's graduation. What a day - what a joy! We have been so blessed to spend countless hours with her as she worked on school. At the time some of those lessons seemed like they might never end (like math and chemistry experiments with Dad in my kitchen : 0) It was so wonderful to be there to celebrate each success... no matter how small. What a gift! Thanks for being so very teachable and diligent Lauren. You pressed through and you did it... even Physics : ) You are a blessing; we love you!

"For I know the plans I have for you declares the LORD, plans for you to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

What a month!

It will take me a few updates to catch up - this has been quite an incredible month. I am just now settling down to get pictures sorted through and ready to post. Having our son and daughter-in-law in the country and so close for the birth our our sweet grandson, Brodie, was such a joy! He is healthy, precious, and very loved by his big sister, and aunts! Us as grandparents are smitten, once again : )

senior update

senior time

We have been working on senior sessions lately - will upload more soon.

fourteen sweet little toes

Whew! I think our computer mishaps are finally fixed. Even though we did receive an awful virus, I think we will be better off. It took the old computer crashing for me to face the daunting challenge of setting up the new one. Sadly, I had been avoiding it..... for months it was just setting under the desk in its box. I knew it would take this computer-inept family weeks to set it up and install all the software. It did, three weeks to be exact, but it is now DONE!

I would much rather be spending my time capturing the blessings these 7 little ones and there 14 toes bring. What a precious family!

Back in Action!!!

Just wanted to update since we didn't while we were on break. We made it through the cold winter by staying close to the fire and had a wonderful, restful time, which allowed us to focus on some health issues. We were blessed with a family trip to New Mexico where we were all able to ski and take pictures of course :) Now that spring has arrived we are back in full swing! -Lauren

Christmas cards

When something has to give, updating the blog is the first to go.... not that I am great at it to begin with! I still had fall sessions to do when early birds, like myself, were inquiring about Christmas cards.

I LOVE Christmas cards. They make me somewhat giddy. I have a collection of antique Christmas cards passed down to me from my dear Grandmother and continue her tradition with my children of using old cards as gift tags. Sorting through the box to match the one that is just right for the package is the best part about wrapping.

We have been hard at work on Christmas card orders. We strive to make the process simple, fun, and completely unique to your family. We really do love it and want them to be just what you had envisioned. Just shoot us an email at onaleephotography@gmail.com. The last day to place orders from your 2009 sessions will be Nov. 27th this year.



Thanksgiving Blessings from our home to yours!
