Open Sessions

I love summer time!!!  What I love most about summer is the fact that the days are longer which means that I have more time to take pictures!! :)  Email me at kerri.pike@gmail.com to set up your session.  I can't wait to hear from you!

This is what LOVE truly is...

This is an entry for the February Rock the Shot Forum Photo Challenge "LOVE"

I chose this picture of my husband and my newborn son's hands. It expresses so much with such a simple touch.  

{Val & Grant Sneak Peak}

I've been waiting a while to post these. Christmas presents sometimes get in the way! :) I love these two!

Just getting started!

I would love to have your pictures featured here as well. If you are interested in scheduling a session, please contact me at kerri.pike@gmail.com for more information! I cannot wait to hear from you!

{Kidd Family Sneak Peak}

My first "real" family session. Hey! They may be practically family, but at least someone who is not related to me let me take their pictures! :)

{Angie Maternity Sneak Peak}

My very first maternity session!!! I thought the pics turned out pretty well. Absolutely cannot wait to meet the little lady in this tummy! :)

The thing about firsts...

The thing about stepping out in faith and experiencing those "firsts" in life is that you are always surprised. Two years ago I stepped out in faith and was unemployed for the first time since I was 16. Through the journey of 18 months of unemployment (during which my second baby was born), God taught me so much about faith and trust and experiencing life and doing what I love for those that I love.

There are so many "firsts" in our lives - the first kiss, the first love, the first baby, the first job, the first career change; each equally mysterious and scary and wonderful. This idea of doing photography as a side business is a "first" for me. It is mysterious, scary, exciting, energizing, and fun, but above all, just as I did when I became a teacher, I am doing something that I love and that is much more important than I ever believed that it would be. I tell my high school kids that true happiness comes when you do what you love regardless of what it is. I am living proof of that.
