The Becks

The Beck family and I tried to do a family portrait in December, but it was so cold, the kids were literally turning blue. So we rescheduled, and were blessed with a beautiful January day! Their family is so fun… it’s not hard to get happy photos of them.

Thanks, you guys, for asking me to do your photos for you!  I loved getting to spend some time having fun with your family, and seeing how much you all love and care for each other.  Oh, and thanks for lunch, too!

The Fauna of Queensland

And while Australia has fascinating scenery, most of the time I was there, it was gloomy or raining. So I set after some of the other interesting things Oz has to offer: the animal kingdom!

The Flora and Scenery of Queensland

While I was in Australia for the wedding last month, I had the privilege to travel around a bit and see the country. I’ve decided that I love Queensland! Here are a few glimpses at the scenery… enjoy!

These are part of a series of pinnacles making up the Glasshouse Mountains. With a little imagination, you can picture that the spires are corners between colossal glass walls…
