Before I begin my real post, I wanted to let you all know that the fires in our area are now 100% contained! That doesn’t mean it is out, but it is completely under control. Here is the latest report – it’s brief!
Riley Road Fire Update 9/14/11 pm
Location: Montgomery, Waller and Grimes Counties, Texas
Date of Fire Start: September 5, 2011
Cause: Under Investigation
Size: 18,960 acres- Approximate acreage by county: 10,604 acres in Waller County, 6,445 acres in Montgomery County, and 1,909 acres in Grimes County.

Fire Status: Fire activity on the Riley Road fire was light again today, Wednesday, as it has been for the past 4 days. Fire crews have successfully moped up the entire 45-mile perimeter and there are very few hot spots remaining. The last significant hot spot at the center of the fire south of 1774 and west of the Waller County Line has been cooled through several days of mop up efforts. Stronger winds in the fire area today, tested the integrity of the firelines, and no spotovers occurred. Thanks to the past 10 days of tireless efforts by firefighters, the Riley Road Fire is now considered 100 percent contained. Fire fighters will continue to carefully monitor the fire and respond to any smoke concerns from citizens. This will be the final fire update unless the fire situation changes.
Resources: Total Personnel: 72
Structures Damaged or Destroyed: 23 damaged / 76 destroyed

Dannye has been working on some photos lately – a wedding, a family shoot, and a bridal shoot. She worked hard and fast to complete these jobs so she could work on a fun project! So, I want to show you a few of the fun stuff!
While we were in Minnesota, Dannye wanted to do a real photo shoot of Nathanael & Emily’s family. She said afterward on Facebook, “Did you ever wish to photograph the perfect model family? Well I got to today!”
I love seeing the way they love each other – give me joy!
They could be models! Maybe they should be!
Aren’t they beautiful?
I love this picture – so real life!
She’s a little poser – wonder where she gets it??
She loved this part of the session! She is so beautiful, and loves beautiful things!
There will be more photos of the family, and some individuals of Titus later. We shot them in two sessions, and Titus was only able to handle one!
I know there are other things to write about, but I just wanted to quickly show off my family.
God bless your day!

Yay for the fires all contained! Perfect timing since I think the wind is supposed to pick up with this cool-front coming in this weekend. Man, these are beautiful pictures! I really love the first 2 and then that last one of her posing-it looks like she’s a princess š
What gorgeous pictures! I love the “flavor” of this family. You must have such soul gladness over being a part of their lives. How wonderful!
