Braedon – Abilene Senior 2017

| EBarnes

I always love a challenge.

I met Braedon about a year ago during his family session. Braedon was quick to let me know he despised having his photo taken. I can completely relate. I was the same way when I was a kid. I hardly recognized him from a year prior, it amazes me how much a teenager can change in one year. I did my best to make Braedon feel comfortable and to help him see that this is documenting a time in his life that will soon be gone. It’s capturing accomplishments and milestones and being able to look back someday and think about your experiences, your growth, your knowledge, your friends. Braedon you have a wonderful smile. Don’t hide it from the world, shine your light!

Blessings the rest of this year and beyond.

Cooper Senior 2017

What a gorgeous day in Mid-February!

What a fantastic smile and it’s easy to see what Cooper is passionate about, his football and working at the stables. Cooper will be heading to college next year to play football and I’m certain he will do great. Thank you for trusting me with your milestone. Good luck the rest of this year and beyond.

Blessings!

Stacked Up Snowflakes!

| EBarnes

I realize I am WAY behind on posting, but this actually was such a strange random day to get snow. It was last month and it randomly snowed these HUGE flakes and then 30 minutes later they were gone. So pretty. Excited I was able to capture them and the sunshine just barely grazing them. I’ve never seen stacks like this before. Enjoy

Blessings!

A Very Merry Christmas to You! – Nature Photographer – Kansas Photographer – Family Photographer

| EBarnes

A quick post this Christmas day to share just a few blessings from above on this wonderful day. God speaks in Nature ❤

This was the first Christmas I can recall in my 41 years in Kansas that thunderstorm watches were in effect and the temps were in the 50s. Though the wind blew and the rain came, at the end of the day, God shone through.

These photos were taken about 30 minutes before sunset. I had been inside all day, enjoying time with my family, opening gifts, playing ping pong, my hubby cooked an air fry turkey(you have to try it! AMAZING!) and just chillin’ with the fam…. I felt the need to get with nature late in the afternoon and took off in my pj’s, yes, I was in my pj’s ALL DAY… LOL. That’s just how we roll on a relaxing day at home on Christmas…. I digress…

Within 15 minutes of leaving the house the skies changed, drastically. It was absolutely breathtaking. What a blessing, truly a gift from God. If you notice the barn photo, the shadow casting on the barn is a cross, it lined up perfect, it was from a telephone pole from behind me, something that usually annoys me in my nature photos, not this time, definitely felt it was meant to be seen and left.

Anyway, enjoy and be blessed by God’s beauty. ❤

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy your family and friends.

Blessings…
