    What does BEAUTI mean to you?

    beau-ty (n.pl.) Any of those attributes of form, sound, color, character, behavior, achievement, etc., which give pleasure and gratification to the senses or to the mind.  Something excellent of its kind.  

    BEAUTI is more than physical attractiveness.  BEAUTI surrounds us in many forms.  

    Discovering.  Cherishing.  Capturing.  

    BEAUTI portrayed inside and out.  BEAUTI at every age, in every stage of life.  BEAUTI of this incredible world we live in.  BEAUTI of emotions and feelings of the moment.  BEAUTI that cannot be put into words.  

    Thank you for checking out my blog, feel free to look around and add a comment or send me a note.  Sharing life's BEAUTI's from my perspective...enjoy!   Jenelle

*January Photo Adventure*

A couple weeks back while these two stayed with us, we headed off on a photo adventure.  Not sure where we’d end up but headed to the hills nearby.  Well above zero and not having snow, it was splendid to be out in the sunshine.  Mesmerized by the wind blowing the golden grasses, breathing in the quietness, enjoying the vast expanse of our prairie scenery, hearing giggles of these sweet kids running and watching the things that attracted their attention for even a moment.  A good memory of our time together.

Have a wonderful weekend!

*Colt, Ashley + Shelby*

Now that images from their session have been given out as gifts to their families, I will share a few with you all.  I love the idea of giving photographs for gifts.  At any occasion.  It’s special and meaningful.  These two are such natural parents.  Of one of the cutest baby girls!   I’m glad we’re already talking about and planning for the next photo session.  When the wind chill is softened and the air is warm!  To spend more time with their happy little family will not be difficult.  I hope you’re having a wonderful time over the holidays!  Thank you for having me capture these images for you.

*DUNCAN* Family

We woke up to the ground covered with the white stuff like a thick blanket.  And it continued to fall all day.  Really it is quite pretty, and magical the way snowflakes twinkle, but that was too quick a season change for me.  Winter arrived.  Abruptly.   Knowing there was a chance of flurries in the forecast we were still planning to shoot some family portraits while the Duncan’s were in town visiting.  Thinking there might be a few snowflakes in the air and a light covering of snow.  Well, there ended up being a lot of snow for the first snow and a harsh, cold wind.  With their sweet personalities and beautiful smiles they braved the weather.  Thanks for making time on your busy weekend to have me photograph your lovely family, cozied up by the snowy evergreens.

*Baby Gyana* 3 MONTHS

She’s growing, she’s smiling, she’s a happy baby girl!  It’s adorable to hear her coo away.  She keeps conversation going!  All her happy noises + big smiles.  We’re lucky to live close to enjoy all her sweetness.  Here she is, 3 months old.  A beautiful little gem and I won’t tell how good she sleeps because too many mamas might be jealous!

*Our Day*

Today is one of the most special days of the year.  I know it always will be.  November 2nd.  This year being our fourth anniversary.  I am filled with love and gratitude.  Having married in the Rockies, we have always celebrated our anniversary with a weekend away to the mountains.  Well prairie living has brought that tradition to an end.  But it won’t hold us back from celebrating our love.  It’s been quite the incredible journey the past four years, I’m extremely grateful for the love, devotion and wisdom of my amazing husband.  To have you in my life, by my side…making me a better person, each day better and life better.  Thank you for being who you are!

Happy anniversary, Kent ~ I love you more than ever!

(I might not have heard right if, in part of the negotiation of standing in the beautiful fog, these photos were not supposed to go online…please forgive me!)

The images of us below were shot by our friends Laurie + Andrew of laurie ann photography…..thank you for these photos + memories!!

Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart, and the joy in a heart.  ~ Author Unknown
