True friendship is such a gift... pictures of the day...

Praying for Stellan

I have been following the journey of baby Stellan for a few months now. Well, since he was born I guess. His parents were told while he was still in utero that he would not survive due to severe heart issues. They prepared for that, but believed in God for a miracle, and for healing. And when Stellan was born, he was free of any sign of it- It was a miracle! He is now 9 months old, is very sick, and they need another miracle now... I will not go into the whole story, but if you click on the picture below it will link you right to his momma's blog where you can read further if you choose. Please agree with me in prayer for this sweet baby boy as he fights for his life. And for his parents as they ride an emotional and spiritual roller coaster in trying to hold on to their child and let go in knowing that they serve a God that is in control at all times. I have come to love this little baby boy and his family as if they were my own family. And I appreciate you taking the time to pray for them in this time. I have been on my knees with tears streaming down my face more than once for this sweet boy today. Thank you and God bless!

"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway." ~John Wayne







These pics are from last weekend when Hailey and Hayden got to ride in the parade in Erie.
Then this Saturday night Hailey and I went to Lamar to a rodeo.. and boy did she have a ball!! She is really working up to being a cowgirl I think! She loved watching those horses and how the girls worked em! Brenae and Elizabeth both got 2nd place in the poles (one in Jr division and one is Sr).... I will post some pictures of her in her 'cowgirl' getup when I get them. She traded her high heels in for her boots... but wasn't giving up the skirt! :)

Hope you all have a great week!

A picture for your day...

I've kind of been doing this lately... I will put up a sneak peek and then a few days later after I finish proofing the session, I feel compelled to share my favorite image... and this is one of them. Do you know who it is? Let me tell you- this little guy is, Why God Made Boys! :)

Quote(s) of the day....

"When I learn to say yes to God's will I am no longer preoccupied with myself, my abilities or the dreams for my life. Letting go of my dreams means my future will not be the way I always expected it to be. Only then, when I have released my death grip on what I believe God should do, the way I believe He should do it, and when I believe it should happen, am I free to fully receive what God has for me. If God calls me to put my dreams on the alter, I need to trust Him to replace them or revive them in a way that makes the original pale by comparison."
~Gary Mayes


"Don't dig up in doubt what you've planted in faith."


I could not decide on just one... and I think that they go together, and that they both relate to me right now especially as I seek clarity on what God's will is for me in regards to work/career/dreams.... so I hope they speak to you in some way too.

Have a great weekend!

Picture/Quote of the day combo!!

See, I told you the twins were coming soon- and here they are! I could just eat them up with a spoon they are so sweet!! A double scoop of icecream with sprinkles on top! They did so great!!







and now for the quote:

"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me".

Have a great week!

Verse of the day....

Isaiah 65:24 NLT

"I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!"

Wyatt

Look who came to see me and get some pictures taken! Little Mr. Wyatt! It's been a long time since we have seen him on the blog, and my oh my how he has grown! I know, I know, children have a tendency to do that... but it never ceases to amaze me!! Here are a few quick shots from our fun the other day! He was a dream to work with!







And keep watching because the twins are coming soon!!

Have a great weekend!

today is Miss Hailey... I picked up a couple of new bows and head bands yesterday and a new knit hat and Hailey was good enough to model them for me... (yes bribery was involved!)... Hope you all have a great day!!

Maternity sneak peek

Here are a few peeks at Korenne's maternity session I did today. Maternity sessions can be hard for the mom to be. I remember being 8/9 months pregnant and feeling like I was as big as the side of a house... and the last thing I would have wanted to do was to show my naked belly and then take pictures of it!! But now, I wish I had. I think expectant mothers round bellies are one of the most beautiful times in their lives, they are all beautiful- because there is a miracle wrapped up inside and it's a fleeting moment, it won't last forever. And you will never be as close to that child as you are at that moment when they are tucked away safe in the very center of your being. I hope you enjoy this peek at Korenne and Nick's miracle. There will surely be newborn pics to follow- just as soon as he arrives!

A few more....

pics from my Saturday session... just because!

Sneak Peek

I had an engagement session this evening, and first my camera wouldn't come on ( had just charged the battery)... got that fixed, then after they got here I spent 30 minutes or so getting my flash sync cord/hotshoe to work (must get wireless SOON!)... then after going outside we had to battle the heat (we were in deed melting) and even a few chiggers, ticks and other noises in the tall grass!!! All that in just one two hour session!! But I think we got some good shots and that my friends is all that matters! So here is a peek for Leann and Clinton... thanks for being such troopers!!!

It's a new day!!!

Well, I was getting tired of the same old thing so I decided to change things up a bit! There is not only a new background here on the Wright Shot blog, but also 9 new songs for your listening pleasure! I know there are some (me included) that will turn the blog on and use it as a radio... so I mixed up the variety for those that do. And if you are strictly a blog follower and not so much a visitor of my photog website, go ahead and take a peek, cause I changed things there also... It's not totally overhauled... but hey, I've already been up all night as it is!! LOL (notice it almost 5 am as I write this blog post!) So- that's all I have for now... oh, and all sessions are currently up and loaded... none are waiting in the wings for me to scramble to get proofing done- well not until tomorrow anyway :) So check those out also!

Have a great weekend!!

'My best friends wedding'......

It's bitter sweet when your best friend or your sister gets married. You are happy for them and wish them nothing but happiness. But sometimes, when it is someone you are really close to, it's almost sad as you have a small fear somewhere down deep that you are losing them. It's selfish I know, but both times I stood up with my best friends as their Maid of Honor and gave them over to their new 'best friend' I felt a twinge of sadness. And I cannot imagine what that feeling must feel like when it is your daughter or your son that you give away. It makes me tear up to think of it... of the bitter sweetness of letting go. I know that Bridget and Jay are one. They have been for a while now, before the formality of this ceremony- they complete each other, compliment each other, and sometimes drive each other crazy... and so I know it is right and true. I am so happy that she has found that in her life- not everyone does, few are so lucky to have two best friends and be married to one of them! So congratulations you two! I wish you a lifetime of staying power and love as life comes at you full speed- it's not always happy, not always easy, and not always loving- but in the end it's always worth it!!
Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day, along with Hailey and Hayden. It was an honor to stand beside you as you pledged your life to your new best friend!! :)

Love,
Teresa

Picture of the day...
