Gorgeous

2012-02-01T10:55:00.000-08:00

This sweet lady is gorgeous inside and out. She has her own granola company and she gave me a bag to take home. I seriously couldn't quit snacking on it!! Soooo good! Check it out for yourself HERE
Thanks Tamara for a fun session!!

Almost Ready...

2012-01-24T19:13:00.000-08:00

So excited for this sweet family!! Baby number two is almost here! He or she is going to be so loved by his/her big sister!! I can't wait to see her in her new role as big sister!!

Sneaky Session...

2012-01-23T12:32:00.000-08:00

This session was a trick to get me out of the house...LOL!!! I had no idea my sweet hubby was planning a surprise 40th party and needed to get me out the house. What sweet friends to be a part of the surprise...poor mom had to fill out a session form and contract and get outfits for her kids for the pictures and everything!! I love how they turned out too...those sneaky, sneaky friends of mine!! :)

melt...my...heart

2012-01-16T13:03:00.001-08:00

This little boy just melts my heart!! What sweetness...and those eyes!!! Loved our session and time together!! Can you tell he LOVES his momma!!

Year in Review...2011

2012-01-13T08:16:00.001-08:00

What a joy to complete this year in review. Looking over each of our 81 sessions in 2011 I remember blessings from each! Grateful to get to do something I love and to get to meet wonderful people in the process!! Can't wait for more in 2012!!

Great Start to 2012

2012-01-11T11:22:00.001-08:00

This was my first session of 2012 and it was a great way to start the year! I had a great time with this fun family! I love seeing families with grown children making portraits a priority. Priceless memories captured!

That's a Wrap...

2011-12-09T12:03:00.000-08:00

My final session of 2011 was awesome!! Loved seeing these kids again! They are adorable and fun!! We had an adventurous session and were thankful the weather was mild for us!! What an awesome year it has been!!!

Naturals...

2011-11-29T13:08:00.000-08:00

I love getting to know kids over the years with their sessions. I've done pictures for these two gorgeous kiddos for a few years and they just have the look. They have a natural comfort with the camera. They are also lots of fun and have great personalities!! Love my job!!!

A Blast...

2011-11-28T08:57:00.000-08:00

I had a blast of fun with this sweet family (who happen to be friends too)! Love the fall colors finally peeking through!

Back By Popular Demand...

2011-11-23T15:47:00.000-08:00

Boys Will Be Boys...

2011-11-22T07:55:00.000-08:00

These brothers were full of energy and fun!! And, what handsome young men they are too! It was a blessing to meet this family!

Precious Angel...

2011-11-20T16:14:00.000-08:00

So excited to finally get to share some sneak peeks that are long overdue! This precious angel looked so adorable!! Love the contrast of her sweetness to the urban textures. What fun!!

Take Two...

2011-11-13T13:13:00.000-08:00

This first time we attempted this session we had a bit of an interruption (that is actually a quite understatement and a story for another day). :)
So, back for take two and a beautiful afternoon being silly and capturing blessings! Love you Tasha, Stephen, Skylar, Piper and Stella!!

Twice the Fun...

2011-11-11T17:04:00.000-08:00

These little guys were over a month old at the time of our session so I wasn't too sure how they would do with sleeping. They were definitely not up for the sleepy newborn shots, but after a second shot at it we got them relaxed enough for some wide eyed awake shots. They are too adorable!! Lovin' their hair too!!!

Cousins...

2011-11-09T14:31:00.001-08:00

I love doing sessions with cousins. It is such a blessing to grow up with your cousins as your best friends!! These cuties were a blast!

GQ...

2011-11-08T11:42:00.000-08:00

This precious little one is such a cutie!! He is only two but did so well letting me pose him. What a dreamy smile!!

More Junkyard Fun...

2011-11-07T08:28:00.001-08:00

This was supposed to be a mini session, but this family is so close, relaxed and happy I couldn't help but capture many more than a normal mini session! Yay!! Loved my time with them!!!

This Family Rocks...

2011-11-02T17:39:00.000-07:00

I so love this family...some of my favorite people in the whole world! We ALWAYS have fun on our sessions and I think the love they have for each other shows through the images!! Love you guys!!

Sweet Family...

2011-11-02T11:30:00.000-07:00

What a privilege for me to get to capture some moments for this sweet family! They were so gracious and fun and I truly enjoyed our time! Mom and dad have done a fabulous job raising these two!!

Blessings...

2011-11-01T12:01:00.000-07:00

Just two for now...more to come soon...I promise!!
These are the BEAUTIFUL girls of my right hand girl, Tasha. Many of you have had the blessing of communicating with her about your session! I can't wait to show you more pictures of these little ladies that I love and adore!!!

Creativity...

2011-11-01T10:10:00.000-07:00

You would never know that it was in the 40s for this session! These two were such troopers! I also loved to have an opportunity to be creative! They looked fabulous and were up for anything!! I had a great time!!

These Are a Few of My Favorite...

2011-10-24T05:37:00.000-07:00

Rustic Barn Minis #4

2011-10-11T16:10:00.000-07:00

Sweet Ms. R was just a tiny newborn the last time I saw her. What a beautiful baby she is and so adored by her family!! And, Mr. O is such a cutie with that awesome hair and smart, smart personality! He has the best imagination!! Loved our time together!

Rustic Barn Minis #3

2011-10-11T11:46:00.000-07:00

This sweet family is near and dear to our hearts! They are a part of our church homegroup (family) and it is the cutest thing ever to watch Gage and Sam interact! Love you guys!!

Rustic Barn Minis #2

2011-10-10T12:28:00.000-07:00

And the fun continued with these beauties!! I love getting to know new families!! God created so many fun and unique personalities and it's so fun getting a peek into His work!!

Rustic Barn Minis #1

2011-10-10T10:39:00.000-07:00

I love new locations...especially when they are as cool as this one! And, I couldn't love this family more!

Beautiful Family...

2011-10-05T08:36:00.000-07:00

Such stunning children. Emjoyed a quiet and cool morning at the Stockyards with this family. I love watching families grow!

Awesome Dad...

2011-10-04T13:05:00.000-07:00

The dad in these images was one of my travel buddies to Ethiopia this summer!! After seeing his amazing heart on the mission trip it was super fun for me to see the amazing dad side too!! He's done a fabulous job with those beautiful daughters of his!!

Getting So Big...

2011-10-03T11:12:00.000-07:00

I have been photographing these cuties since the littlest one was just born. They each have those beautiful big brown eyes. I have loved watching them grow!! What a fun time we have (even in the middle of a cross country meet running over and over across our bridge...LOL).

A Whole Lotta Love...

2011-09-28T08:55:00.000-07:00

I really enjoyed my time with this family. You can tell there is a whole lotta love in their family!! I think I captured some of it! :)

God Designed...

2011-09-27T10:09:00.000-07:00

I love how God designs our families. I first photographed these sweet brothers before I met my Sam. We had started the process and it was such an encouragement to meet a family designed by God that would give me a glimpse of my family to be. Love these boys! Great session!

Relaxing Time...

2011-09-23T12:01:00.000-07:00

Although I treasure the relationships I get to build with repeat clients, it is so fun to meet new families. This is such a precious family. The little boy was adorable, very articulate and kept a smile on my face the entire time. I so enjoyed our evening together!

Colorado Sneak Peeks #5...

2011-09-22T14:27:00.000-07:00

Our final session of the trip was a fun one. This princess looked so adorable in her Easter dress! What a cutie!!!

Colorado Sneak Peeks #4...

2011-09-22T13:22:00.000-07:00

I was so excited to see this precious boy. I got to do his pictures when I went to Colorado last year and he was only a few weeks old. What a doll...loved my time with him and his family!

Colorado Sneak Peeks #3...

2011-09-21T10:19:00.000-07:00

Colorado Sneak Peeks #1...

2011-09-21T07:13:00.000-07:00

This momma was the saint to who orchestrated sessions for me in Colorado! She also did an amazing job taking care of me while I was there. What a great trip!!! I am blessed!! I am so happy with how her pictures turned out...I wanted to capture the true beauty of her family for her and I think we did!!

Fall is Almost Here...

2011-09-12T08:50:00.000-07:00

It was a BEAUTIFUL morning for a session. It's been such a long and HOT (record heat)summer that it seemed like those crisp mornings, perfect for a session, would never get here. But, they are beginning to peek through.
This beautiful family did awesome on their session!! Made me very excited as busy season is here!!!

Adored...

2011-09-08T11:11:00.000-07:00

This little brother is sure to be adored by big brother and big sister. He was such a cuddler. I was so happy to get my baby fill of cuddles!! Can't wait to watch him grow!!

Christmas Minis 2011

2011-08-30T11:40:00.001-07:00

2011-08-17T14:01:00.000-07:00

Please join me in welcoming Tasha Burks to the Selah Studios Family. She is our new office manager and keeper of Cindi's brain and sanity. :) It is such a blessing to have her helping with so many of the details. She is a wonderful friend and I know you will all love her as much as I do.

My husband, Stephen, and I have been blessed with three precious, little girls: Skylar, Piper, & Stella. When I'm not working at Selah Studios, I am privileged with caring for and loving on our children, friends, and church family. I love to read and learn.

Cuddle Time...

2011-08-10T19:14:00.000-07:00

I was blessed to have a cuddly newborn session today! This precious little one rocked her session! She slept like a champ and hardly cried a peep! And, oh what a beautiful angel she is...just like her big sisters!! Couldn't help myself but edit a few before the day was over!!

Cake Smash is an Understatement...

2011-08-01T14:42:00.000-07:00

I've done enough cake smash sessions now to find it funny how consistently boys and girls differ in their approach. Most of the little girls are delicate and careful, at least and first, and most boys want less to eat the yummy treat than just to destroy it. Soooo cute!!! I love my job and oh, I love this adorable little boy! Check out those amazing eyes and eye lashes!!

Summer Session...

2011-07-28T12:31:00.000-07:00

This awesome family was up bright and early so we could beat the heat for our summer session! Besides dodging the sprinklers and almost losing my couch (we left it for a few minutes and they loaded it up in a golf cart to haul to the dumpster) it was a fabulous session!

Newborn Love...

2011-06-23T07:05:00.000-07:00

I so crave my newborn sessions!! I just love getting my fix of cuddling a soft, tiny, precious newborn!! Ms. H is beautiful and looks oh so much like her big sister. So excited to see her grow!!

He Fought the Cake...

2011-06-14T10:59:00.001-07:00

...and the...CAKE WON! :)

Kickin' off the summer sessions...

2011-06-13T13:26:00.000-07:00

This was my first June session. We beat the heat with an early morning session. What a great family! So happy and relaxed. It was great to get to hang out with them!!

Sweet Celebration

2011-05-31T08:59:00.001-07:00

This was my largest family photo ever. What a privilege to be trusted to capture everyone all together. We survived the heat and wind for a precious family memory!

the magic of photoshop and a little patience...

Precious...

2011-05-30T10:31:00.001-07:00

I was so excited to get to do pictures for this precious family! Bereket and Sam were in the same transition home in Ethiopia together. When we were there to get Sam we were able to love on Bear for them and his AMAZING smile and personality melted our hearts!! The love in this family just seeps through these images!!

Had to Have Patience...

2011-05-12T13:06:00.000-07:00

Anyone have the Music Machine Albums when they were a kid? This poor family was having to sing the "Have Patience" song over and over as we had to reschedule many times due to wind and/or rain. But, it was worth it!! Loved our time!!

Family Time...

2011-05-09T09:50:00.000-07:00

I had a great morning with this family! The two boys were so much fun to tease! They are at that fun age where they will let you tease some without getting too embarrassed. Great morning!

Boys will be Boys...

2011-05-03T10:20:00.000-07:00

Nothing says boys like mud! LOL!
Can I just say mud sessions are just too much fun!! I even joined in the fun with a little mud on my face and toes.

Wow...I'm getting old.

2011-05-02T13:55:00.000-07:00

This is a former student of mine. I taught him over a decade ago. Goodness...maybe almost a decade and a half. I am so proud of who he has become. Not because I had anything to do with it, but because I truly care about the kids I taught and it is such a joy to know they are doing so well!

Beautiful Family

2011-04-28T12:27:00.000-07:00

This beautiful mom and dad had five beautiful daughters and now this family of six has blossomed into this beautiful family of 26.

We had a storm coming in and lots of wind and dark skies, but this flexible family showed up with smiles and awesome attitudes and looking good too! That is how to get an amazing family portrait!!

A Stroll...

2011-04-23T14:21:00.000-07:00

...through the park. It was a nice morning (although a tad humid) for sessions. The little guy here was slow to warm up, but at the very end gave me his true smile...made all of my silly jokes and noises worth it!

Sqeezalicious...

2011-04-21T13:31:00.000-07:00

These four cuties are sooooo absolutely adorable!! Just wanted to squeeze them! :)
We had a surprisingly cool April day and although the skies were very dark, we were able to find some pretty open areas. I hope you guys enjoyed your post picture ice cream treat...you sure earned it!

Treasures...

2011-04-18T06:42:00.000-07:00

We are so blessed that our Community Group is more of an extended family than just "church friends". This family has blessed our lives and we are so grateful to know them!

Sweeties...

2011-04-14T08:29:00.001-07:00

These three were so adorable and so much fun, even the littlest who wasn't feeling 100%. It was a beautiful evening and a fun time at the park, and we even stumbled upon a small patch of bluebonnets...really full, pretty ones. A rarity this season!

Family #2...

2011-04-10T11:17:00.000-07:00

Meet my family #2.
We escaped the wind by heading out to the Gaylord for their family session. I had a blast spending time with them all as they are like family to me!!

Bluebonnet Session 7...

2011-04-06T15:38:00.001-07:00

I went a little crazy with the sneak peeks! I couldn't help myself...just LOVE these kiddos!!

Bluebonnet Session 6...

2011-04-06T08:02:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite families to photograph. A silly bunch and always fun to be around!

Bluebonnet Session 5...

2011-04-05T09:10:00.001-07:00

I've been secretly wanting to photograph these beautiful children for a while now. I knew my camera would love them...and yes, it did!! I fell in love with their sweet little spirits too!

Bluebonnet Session 4...

2011-04-04T07:55:00.000-07:00

What beautiful girls! I got to photograph them a couple of years ago and when mom contacted me I remembered them right away. How could I forgot those eyes and sweet smiles!!

Bluebonnet Session 3...

2011-04-04T07:05:00.001-07:00

It has been a few years since I saw these cuties. They were as fun and silly as ever!! Loved seeing them again!!

Bluebonnets Session 2...

2011-04-03T14:04:00.000-07:00

My sweet friends!! Love this family! And, I got the best hug ever from the oldest little boy here...TOTALLY made my day!!!

Tiptoe Through the....Bluebonnets

2011-04-02T17:50:00.001-07:00

And, we definitely did a lot of tiptoeing to keep from stepping on our beautiful state flower! We had five bluebonnet minis today and a couple more coming tomorrow! I am so excited...I could wait to share. These are such fun and beautiful sessions with lots of fun and beautiful kids!!

And Baby Makes Three...

2011-03-28T09:39:00.000-07:00

I loved every second photographing this adorable and oh so loved little boy! Sweet family and fun time!!

Precious Moments

2011-03-27T13:41:00.001-07:00

I was very blessed to get to spend some time this weekend photographing the love between this daddy and his sons!! Praying many blessings for their family.

Teeny, Tiny Little Princess...

2011-03-24T15:33:00.001-07:00

Ms. L surprised everyone and made her appearance a few weeks early! She was an adorable and petite joy and did so well sleeping through the session! It was a fun afternoon!

Bluebonnet Minis...

2011-03-22T08:14:00.000-07:00

Fun...

2011-03-21T11:25:00.000-07:00

What a great session with this fun family! They were so easy to be around and photograph, it was great time! You can tell in the images just how close they are! Thanks Bird Family!!

Beautiful...

2011-03-19T09:37:00.000-07:00

inside and out! Love, love, love this family!

Bundle of Joy...

2011-03-08T11:01:00.000-08:00

I have been waiting anxiously for the arrival of precious Ms. H. She is the brand new baby of one of my best friends!! I was soooo excited to spend the day cuddling and photographing her! What a joy it is to be able to do this for a living!!!

Sweet Family...

2011-03-07T17:38:00.000-08:00

I met this family last t-ball season. Our five-year-olds play together on the Cubs. How awesome it was when I found out she and her husband also wanted to adopt from Ethiopia. And, how soooo excited I am now that they are beginning the process!! We hit it off from the beginning and I am so glad to know this family! Can't wait to meet the newest little princess when she arrives!!

Spring Minis are Here...

2011-03-02T09:24:00.000-08:00

Growing Up...

2011-02-28T18:25:00.000-08:00

* this was his GQ pose...

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly my baby planner babies grow up!! Mr. C is a charmer!! He has the most exuberant smile ever...that is until you hide behind a camera, but as soon as you peek out the smile is back...LOL!! He made me work for it, but we got some precious pictures!! Mom and dad, I think you will be happy! :)

Surprise...

2011-02-27T13:52:00.001-08:00

I was supposed to photograph this gorgeous little ones birth. We had it all planned months before and we even had the security of a scheduled c-section on our sides. But little mister had his own secret plans. But, it all worked out because we got these beautiful images instead! He was perfect for me with that amazing hair, beautiful skin and sleepy, moldable self! What fun!!

Perfect Day...

2011-02-21T13:13:00.000-08:00

...for a session with a princess!

The weather could not have been better and precious princess A was so much fun! Just look at those curls! Seriously can't believe we were playing in snow just a couple of weeks ago!!

I found this vintage suitcase at an antique store and Ms. A was the perfect little model to try it first! I had fun playing for some vintage feels to the images.

Won't You Be Mine?

2011-02-10T10:27:00.000-08:00

Pretty In Pink...

2011-02-09T08:55:00.000-08:00

I think my heart skipped a beat or two when I saw this first picture! Precious Ms. S is such a sweet baby and I think this first image captures her perfectly!
What a wonderful 1st year/cake smash session!!

Baby Fix...

2011-02-08T07:37:00.000-08:00

I was so happy to get a baby fix yesterday! It's been too long! Sweet Ms. C was beautiful and adorable! The sweet smiles she gave me and that perfect porcelain skin were just what I needed! She is 2 months old and I wasn't sure what we'd be able to get, but we caught some beautiful shots at the beginning and end and did a lot of nuzzling in between!

Time Flies...

2011-02-05T18:53:00.000-08:00

My first session subject of 2010...

...was also my first session subject of 2011! I can't think of a better way to debut the year!!

Seeing God Move...

2011-01-28T09:50:00.001-08:00

I was glancing through an old blog of mine and found this post from 2006. It gave me chills to see in such a tangible way how God was working in my life. Just a few months after this post, because of the desperation God allowed me to feel knowing that is what I needed, I began Selah Studios Photography. I don't believe I would have ever had the courage to begin such an adventure into the unknown world of owning my own Photography business had God not allowed me to feel so desperate. Examples like this one are helping me learn to walk by the Spirit and trust in Him through the uncertainties and fears of life. He is good all the time and His desires for me are not to harm me, but to give me hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Even as I go through trials, I know that this world is not my home and I was made for a better place, but it is also comforting to know that as I seek to glorify Him while I am here, He is taking care of my needs and even surprising me with many of my wants!! I love you Lord!!
(and, by the way, I now know how to spell shepherding...LOL) :)

Blog Therapy

Feeling the need for a little blog therapy this morning!! Before I spill my stress, know that in the end I know that God is involved in and cares about my daily life and His plan for me is at work. I have blessings pouring out of my ears that I should be focusing on and I promise that when I'm done venting I will return to reason. I'm figuring these are just growing pains that I'm experiencing. I also know that my stress is absolutely insignificant in the whole scheme of things. There are people suffering with the loss of loved ones, poverty, hunger, abuse and on and on. My problems are completely superficial and in eternity won't even be worth a mention, but, because I'm human, I experience anxiety that can only be eased through prayer, and some good old-fashioned venting.
So, here goes...I am still searching for daycare kids. Max was born in August and I was ready to return to a full income at the beginning of October. We had wisely saved for my six weeks off figuring people would be pounding down the door to bring their kids to me when I returned, but that didn't happen. I got Tara sometime in November and have had Emma for a few weeks now, but the final two openings have left us in debt not to mention I'll be losing Tara in a month or less. I think debt is a horrible place to live. I have had so many "almosts" that I'm starting to think that God is trying to teach me something specific and I'm missing the point. Am I searching hard enough? Am I spending my time in prayer wisely seeking the truth or am I sticking my head in the sand at the obvious? All I do know is that completely submitting to God's will for my life is where I need to live. He has always provided and He has always blessed me abundantly out of my trials!

Thank you God for the peace that comes only from you, Thank you for the blessings you have showered on me, Thank you that you love me and that any trial you allow me to encounter is meant for my good and for a witness to others to Sheppard your children into an eternity with you. I will praise you in the storm.
AMEN

2010...A Year in Review

2011-01-17T13:32:00.000-08:00

Well, it's already the middle of January and I wanted to get this posted sooner, but life happens...and that's a good thing.

2010 was an amazing year for our family! We adopted precious Sam, making us a family of six, and Matt's book was published. Our trip to pick up Sam in Ethiopia changed us. It's realigned our priorities and helped us to see that our time here on Earth is NOT about us! It's about allowing God's spirit to lead us in the plans He has for us. Plans to be a light to the world of His amazing love.

2010 was also an amazing year for Selah Studios Photography. I feel like God uses photographs as little love letters to us. Reminding us of all the things He's given us to bless our lives. Helping us to stop a moment in time and savor it's gift. Something we often forget to do in our face-paced American society.

I am so grateful for the precious families God has brought to Selah Studios Photography. I have been touched by each one of you and feel so privileged to have been a part of your precious memories!

Here is a glimpse of each session we had this year! Thank you and I'm looking forward to 2011 and all that God has planned!!

Final Session of 2010...

2010-12-06T15:13:00.000-08:00

What an awesome year it has been! I've enjoyed reconnecting with many families this year and meeting new ones! This was a great session to end the year on as they are always a joy to be around! We had fun and it was a beautiful day in December (who would have thought!).
I am busy working hard to get orders finalized, packaged and delivered in the next week and then I am going to be taking a much needed break to celebrate Christmas and the true meaning of the season with my family.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

** I had lots of fun with some artistic play on these...

Just in Time for Christmas...

Little Ms. R made her appearance just in time for the Christmas season! What a gift!! I absolutely LOVE newborn sessions! Ms. R is beautiful and as you can see is adored by her big brother! So excited for this family!

You Better Watch Out...

Santa made a visit to Mansfield this week for some portraits! I think Mrs. Claus will be happy with the results!! He loves his Coke memorabilia too, so be sure to leave him a coke with his milk and cookies!!

Urban Fun...

2010-11-28T13:40:00.000-08:00

I got to hang out with this fun family this past weekend and one of my favorite urban locations. It was perfect for these kids! I think they might have been dreading having their picture made just a little bit, but we were able to make it fun and quick! That's one of the best things about location photography...you can have some fun moving around hunting for spots and it seems more like hanging out that a formal session. Then you are able to capture those true personalities, which is what it is all about!
