Keels Photography

I had the pleasure of photographing this spectacular lady last week.    There are people that are just pure sunshine and Annie here is certainly in that catagory.  She was recently selected as the new star of the CW, a Columbus television station, a position she’s aptly qualified.  Stephanie, her producer and Rob, the station’s art director, were in addition, incredible to work with.  Thank you all for your amazing participation and of course all the laughter.

I’d like to introduce our little miracle Margaret Ann.  For those who know my wife Tricia and are scratching your head, you’re not crazy, she wasn’t pregnant, Margaret is adopted.   Once again we have experienced God’s amazing grace and witnessed this little one born into a room full of love.  She’s named after my mother who passed 12 yrs ago, a wonderful woman who would’ve loved this little one silly.  We found out  through our lovely friend Candis the name Margaret means “Pearl” and Ann means”Grace and Favor”

Pearl of grace and favor is just about right.

I’ve decided not to make any resolutions this year.  No sweeping announcements of change, no lists of  things to stop doing or start doing.  I’ve lived long

enough and know myself well enough to have figured these things are for me empty promises.  Yes, I could stand to lose some weight and there’s that basement

to get to, closets to clean, those letters to write  and the bible to read cover to cover.  Many, many and many more things to change or improve on.

However, I think I’m through with the annual self-polishing and have come to realize that the sweet life is the one in progress.  I have found myself better

not by looking at myself but by looking at what I love.  So with that I offer this image of my family shot this November on our wonderful vacation to Florida,

I would say there’s room for one more don’t you think?

More on that a little later.

God Bless you all in this 2010
