{Thanksgiving | Personal}

"Your responsibility is to be receptive to this {unconditional love}. {thankfulness} and {trust} are your primary receptors. Thank Me for everything; trust Me in all times."

"Thank Me throughout this day for {My Presence} and {My Peace}... the best way to receive these glorious gifts is to thank Me for them. It is impossible to spend too much time {thanking} and {praising} Me. I created you first and foremost to glorify Me." - Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young

"Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name." - Hebrews 13:15

Thanking Him for the greatest gift He's given us... the opportunity to come into His presence, and to be able to feel His unconditional love despite what we have done.

It's always fun to get to shoot portraits for families I know... We've know the Holubs for a while now, both Tyler and Brady play sports with my little brothers, and this is the second time I've done their family pictures. Thanks for putting up with me again! :)

{I am the Lord | Personal}

{the lake at Lum Park, Brainerd, MN}

"I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles, to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house.

 "I am the Lord, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images. Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them."

{Isaiah 42:6-9}

{Priti Things Promotional Shoot | Brainerd, MN Product Photography}

So excited to share this shoot. A friend of mine just started an Etsy shop, and I was able to shoot some image for her to use as promotional material. Not only are her creations adorable, and the girls that modeled for me gorgeous, she is also giving half the profits to Compassion International, which is awesome. :)

So enjoy the portraits... and then go check out her shop (and maybe buy some? hehe). http://www.etsy.com/shop/PritiThings

She also has a facebook page, which she updates with new items quite often... go give her some "like" ;) https://www.facebook.com/PritiThings?fref=ts
