Wow, I am the worlds worst blogger. That being said, here are some updated images for 2012, and I re-commit to do a better job blogging and keeping updates on here. I am very exited for the “greening up” of the spring, so that we can get some fun family photos going. Being a photographer, I have done a terrible job photographing my OWN twins! So that too will be a resolve. Now, enough rambling and on to the photos….

This past Saturday found RED Team members Terra and Kiley, along with some of our friends serving meals to the homeless at the Jesus House. The Jesus House has been around in OKC since 1965, located just west of downtown Oklahoma City. The Jesus House serves the homeless, needy, mentally ill, drug and alcohol addiction, and disaster victims, housing approximately 65 residents at any given time. We had the honor of serving food to residents and non-residents alike on Saturday, meeting some awesome people along the way. Jeff is the “kitchen manager” and expressed gratitude and thanks for the help. I know personally, I got way more out of this experience than those we were serving did. My husband Brad worked the door of the dining room, and was able to speak with people and just give a smile, even telling a few jokes and getting some laughs along the way. Kileys boyfriend Blake washed dish after dish, and plate after plate, smiling the entire time.
I know around Thanksgiving and Christmas its easy to be thankful for what we have, what we have been blessed with, but I know I am going to make it a priority on my list to look for, and seek out more opportunities to serve others in 2012.
The RED Team wishes for nothing but blessings on you this holiday season.

Hannah is already 8 months old (probably 9 by now) and we had a shoot scheduled on the 4th of May, however as they were pulling in, I got the call that Terra was in labor with our twins, so a few weeks after, we were able to meet up at the newly re-opened Myriad Gardens, in downtown OKC, and we had a great shoot. Hannah is really something, and her big blue eyes are awesome. Here are some of our favorites from the day.
