Lori Leighs Photography: The love of photography...and family

I have done it yet again, I have let a lot of time go by since my last blog. I have something to blame it on though, it's that "Facebook" thing! :) I just find that my schedule has been pretty busy shooting and then trying to keep up my Facebook page for Lori Leigh's Photography. It may not really sound like a lot but, at any rate, I am still behind!!

I have been very busy with upcoming weddings. The bridal shoots and engagement shoots, Easter that has just recently passed, and the beginning of the beach portrait season. Oh, how I love the summer time as spring is quickly in the air. This is when the photography keeps me VERY busy and I am very grateful.

As I am writing this blog this morning at 4:30 am I wanted to leave a message through my post today. Love and appreciate those that are around you. Life passes by very slowly when you are a child and entering your teenage years, however, when you reach adult hood and start looking backwards you realize that life has swiftly been moving right along.

My father is undergoing major surgery next week out of state, I will, as well as my brother and sisters be there to support him and my mother through the whole ordeal. It is anticipated that part, if not all of one lung may have to be removed and a repair of a hole in his esophagus will be done.

It seems as though it was just yesterday that my father was picking me up from preschool (I am the baby in the family) and walking me home. I remember the sun, the dogs barking on the side of the road, but mostly, I remember him holding my hand. I am confident that my father will recover quickly and that he will be with us for many years to come but as the bible says, we are never promised tomorrow.

This of course is where photography is such a wonderful thing. The expression "A picture is worth a thousand words" is true, however, to elaborate even further, a picture is also worth a thousand emotions! Photographs can instantly take us back to another time, another place and stir emotion. Photos capture all of that with one click!

I have two new grandbabies Brison and Addision, both a day apart! They are beautiful and we love them dearly! So today I am including photos of them for you to see....

Thanks for checking out my blog, I will try to become more consistent in my post!
