Camera Breaker, Heart Stealer

So Grown Up
This is what I was doing when my Canon 5D broke tonight. I was clicking away and then the viewfinder went black. I took off the lens to investigate and the mirror had slipped out of place. I knew immediately it was not something I could fix myself. With my Mark 2 in the shop already, I knew our session was over. Fortunately I captured some lovely images of my Katie-girl before it came apart in my hands. I did some reading about it on a couple sites, and evidently this is a known manufacturer issue and I am hoping Canon will fix it at no charge. I could blame it on her incredible beauty but that probably isn’t covered with Canon.
I have very much enjoyed my girls being home over Christmas break. Katie and I had a girls day out today and got our make up done. I don’t remember the last time I did that. I have to say it was good for us both. Just what we needed. Then we had a sweet photo session when we got home. She is leaving to go back to Wake Forest tomorrow and I wanted to capture her one more time before she left. Isn’t she lovely? The best part is that her heart shines just as beautifully. How did I get to be so blessed?
Sophistication
We also captured her with her guitar at sunset. I am so proud of my Katie. She has become quite the songwriter, like her dad. She has an amazing song on the new Playchase Christmas album, called “Nothing I’d Rather Do”.(If you click on that link, don’t click on her name. It comes up with another artist. Just click to preview the song.) It is really beautiful. Makes me cry because she wrote it about her daddy and me
Here are a few of her at sunset with her guitar.
Lovely Katie
Sunshine and Melodies
Joy
Country Girl
Singing the Sun to Sleep
Freedom
Magic
Fly
With both camera bodies officially out of commission, it might be a little bit before I get to post again, but you can bet I will be back as soon as I get one in my hands. I miss this piece of sunshine on the internet.
Blessings everyone. Happy Monday.

Keisha,
You can hear her song “Stars” here and then if you go to this link you can preview her song “Nothing I’d Rather Do”.
Just don’t click on the name Katie Morgan there because it is another artist. But you can preview or buy “Nothing I’d Rather Do” there.

I listened to Katie’s song over and over during the Christmas holidays. It is wonderful and we’ll be listening to it at Christmas for a long long time.

Matthew saw her on stage last week and asked if she was your daughter. I said, “Yes, and quite possibly the most beautiful little girl you’ve ever seen in your life!” I need to show him that picture of her at the table when she was just a toddler. She’s STILL just as beautiful!

Aww, sweet Christy. I think Katie would have some real competition with Rayna. So beautiful, that child. You guys make gorgeous babies!:)

I am so sorry about your camera. Please do not get discouraged. You have to take pictures. It is a part of who you are. I love these pictures of Katie. They are wonderful, just like her!
