My first photography class in college my professor walked into the classroom and stated, “Photography is painting with light.” Six years later this statement is still powerful to me. Photography is one of my hobbies and I absolutely love finding new ways to paint with light in my photographs. I recently had the opportunity to take Jessi, our Purchasing and Inventory Specialist’s family pictures. Jessi gave birth to her first child 4 months ago, and wanted to capture the miracle of having a son and her growing family. My favorite pictures I took of Jessi and her family are the photographs that had dramatic lighting and captured the miracle of having a family. Photography is a powerful form of communications that documents the history and miracle of life, enjoy some of Jessi’s photographs.

Can you believe it is almost Christmas? It seems like it was just summer. Wow…how time flies! Even though Christmas usually means snow and really cold weather it  is my favorite holiday…probably because I am a Christmas baby (I was born on Saint Nicholas Day), and my family always has huge holiday celebrations. I love spending time with my family over the holiday season, sending out Christmas cards, decorating our Christmas trees, and hanging up Christmas lights. Christmas is especially fun, if you are expecting a new bundle of joy this holiday season!! I adore SimplyBabyStuff.com’s Christmas baby shower theme. Our Christmas baby shower invitations are not only perfect for baby showers, but as holiday greeting cards and announcing the new arrival of your Christmas baby!
