Donna Harris Photography bio picture

I’ve always made it a point to love my jobs – to only do something because it is what I love. I am blessed to have that option in life. Sometimes I’ve probably taken it to the extreme. I’ve always set out to be THE hairstylist you would prefer over anyone else or THE photographer you would choose. Recent events in my health have knocked me off this high-horse of pride and someday I hope to share that with you.
 
But on this day… this is a day that did matter. This was a day that God used my talents for His Glory and to comfort someone else.
 
On this day, I can look back and see how God used me despite of my own need to be important, or my need to feel like I matter. On this day, I was able to see pieces of a puzzle coming together of encounters over the years, sharing our lives, and sharing our hearts.

I can’t say it enough. These two are perfect for each other  – attractive both inside and out!

I’m not gonna share what I said that made this laugh happen but I’ll think twice before I use the phrase again. I didn’t realize what I said was actually an inuendo! Ooops! ๐Ÿ™‚

    LOVE!!! This was such a fun day and I'm happy I got to be a part. Liz and Lewis have such a beautiful love which was so much fun to photograph. The photos are breathtaking!!!ReplyCancel

Sure there’s Pinterest. And of course you can always type what you’re looking for into Google Images. I’ve even just perused the pages of my favorite Facebook Pages.

But this is where it’s at: Blog Lovin.

If you are a photographer that just loves to drool over other photog’s work or if you don’t have the photography bug but just like looking at beautiful photos then you know where I’m coming from. Heck you could care less about the actual photography and just have some really interesting blogs to follow…well then, this site is for you!

I could totally be behind and if that’s true please just take pity on me and let me have my moment of discovery. I love this site. When I’m looking for inspiration it’s almost always from a person’s blog. I not only love not seeing those gorgeous images but also being able to connect with their stories and learn more about the photographer and the subjects.

The problem I’ve had in the past was keeping up with them. Sure I could bookmark them, or subscribe to their RSS Feed (I’m not going to pretend like I know how that really works). But the format of Blog Lovin is suited just for me. It gives me a great preview of the blog. I can go to the site anytime for an update and the blog doesn’t have to be a certain format for me to follow it!

ALSO, you can download an App for it that works on Android and IPhone/IPad. How cool is that?

YipEEEEE!

Also, if you wanna follow me this way, feel free! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have never heard of this either…how cool! Now hopefully I can figure it out..lol. Still trying to figure out Pinterest. Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

    I know, Lisa, I love it! I totally thought of you when I found it too! And of course, YOUR blog is one that I follow. ๐Ÿ™‚ReplyCancel

In the past, I would have considered myself *beyond* an advocate for breastfeeding…. probably more like the breast-feeding nazi. Not for others but for myself. I held myself to sometimes impossible standards with my first son. I never had to feed Roman a single bottle. Now, Milo, who has started on formula this month has made the emotional transition away from nursing not only tolerable but pretty darn adorable. ๐Ÿ™‚

One really neat thing about bottle feeding is that dad’s can share in this moment too!

 Breastfeeding is hard. It’s rewarding. And it’s honorable if you can do it and totally ok if you can not.
Milo, I was happy to nurse you as long as I was able. To be perfectly honest, we just couldn’t keep going with the rate that those razor sharp teeth are coming in. ๐Ÿ™‚

Just look at that milk-face!

Teresa and Kevin are getting married this fall. I loved, loved, loved, getting to know them (+ Lacey) during our time together.

Kevin and Teresa have been together for 7 years.  They met at a New Years Eve party in 2003.  Kevin was home on leave from the Army.  The first 3 years of their relationship was long distance.  The hardest year was in 2005 when he got deployed to Iraq.  He got out of the Army in 2006 and moved back to St. Louis. They got engaged last summer while vacationing in the Bahamas.
They live in Saint Louis with their little Bichon Frise, Lacey.

Is Lacey going to be at the wedding too? Well, we’ll find out in October!
