My sweet friend is in town visiting and I finally got to hangout with her and her precious children. Monica is one of those friends that when you walk away you feel like you can breath a little easier. Ever have a friend like that? Cherish them and hold them close.

Anyway, here are her babes, my niece and nephew if you will. There are many more pictures but I thought I’d share a few before I really get fully started on the editing.

Enjoy.

No words can express how amazing yesterday was. I’ll attempt, rather poorly I’m sure, to sum it up. First and foremost, God was glorified. Cliff & April are standing on Him, their solid rock. Although there was pain and heartache we were able to rejoice and praise His name through our tears.

Friends and family circled around and helped make Elyse’s Memorial Service something so incredibly special. Nothing was forgotten, not one small detail. Here are just a few of the moments I got to capture from yesterdays events.

Psalm 139:16 (New International Version)

your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

Cliff and April have asked that in lieu of flowers please make a donation to Hume Lake Christian Camps Campership Fund.  You can send any correspondence to:

Cliff & April
64144 Hume Lake Rd. Unit 201
Hume, CA 93628

A few months ago I had the special opportunity to take pictures of some of my close friends and their gorgeous little family up at Hume Lake Christian Camps. Early Monday morning sweet 11 month old Elyse went to Heaven to hang out with Jesus (what a lucky little girl). At the same time, there are many broken hearts left down here on earth. Please, when you think of Cliff & April Carey along with their son Peter, pray for them. Pray for peace, rest, and strength as they go through this.

A Memorial Service will be held at The Well in Fresno, CA this Saturday the 20th at 2:00 in the afternoon.
