Over the past couple of years, though, the business has slowed way down for me and I have spent a lot of time searching and praying and asking God why. This year, I have put a lot of my focus on my family and spending time with my kids, who really took a backseat more often than I’d like to admit because of all the time devoted to editing photos. I have felt for a while now that this little business of mine may have run its course. This post has been such a long time coming, so here it is … I am officially stepping back from A Picture’s Worth photography. I’m embracing my kids, my husband and our life as it is right now and turning my attention to other things. There will always be a love of photographing weddings and I’m leaving that little place in my heart open to the possibility of doing this again someday, but I truly believe this is the right decision for me at this time.

THANK YOU so much to all of my wedding couples. Thank you for choosing me to capture your most important day. And to the dozens of families whose pictures I took along the way, too. It’s been such fun getting to know all of you. THANK YOU all from the bottom of my heart.

I will be keeping this blog up indefinitely since so many couples’/families’ pictures are here, so feel free to browse through all the posts. I may check in every once in a while, so keep me on your RSS feeds and Google Readers just in case.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Happy to be starting 2010 and can’t wait to see what it holds!

2009 for me can be summed up in one word. Change!

Some of you already know my husband lost his job a few years ago and we have been without steady income since then. I know many of you can relate to this as you find yourselves in a similar situation this year. It’s truly been a time of trusting God and holding onto what is most dear – each other, our children, our family.

It’s been a long road. We have prayed for things to turn around and I’m happy to share that God has finally answered our prayers. Jake was recently hired in to a wonderful company in the publishing industry. Just the kind of job he always dreamed of having after working in a factory for far too many years. We are beyond happy and so thankful to God for getting us through.

Though the past few years have been difficult personally, I have been so blessed by all of you who I have had the privilege to work with. All of your weddings, engagements, families, and babies have given me so much joy in a time when it seemed there was little to be happy about. I have said it before and I’ll say it again … you are all AMAZING. I have worked with the BEST people in this little business of mine. I’ve had such fun and been a part of so many sweet moments that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Thank you all for allowing me to step into your lives if only for a day and soak up all of your happiness and joy! You’ve truly kept me going through it all.

Now, as we take time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, we’re giving thanks and looking forward to the year ahead and what God has in store for us!

Merry Christmas and may 2010 be full of blessings!
Lots of Love,
Kris

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Anniversary, babe! I love you! <3

Up next: Jeanine + Burgess’s wedding! Can’t wait!

Welcome to a new week! This is the last week of school for my kiddos, so summer is upon us. Looking forward to lots of family outings. Also coming up at A Picture’s Worth … a special anniversary party, weddings and something new I’ve been working on. Excited to share that soon.

Also, you may or may not have noticed, next to my photo above, I’ve added a feed to my twitter account under “What am I doing right now?”. I admit, I’m addicted to twitter like everyone else seems to be right now. I love seeing little snippets of what’s going on with friends on a daily basis. Follow me on twitter HERE.

Have a blessed day!
