christmas candlelight

i still can not believe that Christmas has come and gone!!
but i just wanted to share a few pictures from the candlelight service... so beautiful!

i am always a little sad to see Christmas go...

why did i move?

My old blog was attached to my personal blog so I didn't want it coming up in Google searches. But this one will stand alone so I want as many people stopping by as possible!! So please send people this way!!!
Some time in the near future I will be making a website :) I hope to have it up and running in the new year! More on that to come!!

I got all of the session blog posts moved from my old blog to the new (a lot faster than i thought!). It was really cool to look back through the last year of sessions. I have gotten to work with some great families! I am truly blessed to be able to do this!
Thank you all!!

And thanks for stopping by :)
