Its been way too long since I've posted on my business blog. 3 Days after I posted last I found out that I was expecting! My husband and I are beyond excited. The Baby is Due in Sept. I'm not booking any more weddings after July 2011 through Nov. 2011. So, December Weddings and 2012 go ahead :) book away! I've been busy so far this year with engagements, birthday parties and anniversary shoots. :)

From the last two parties look at these QT's FACES!!!

This is my official promise to blog more! We'll see what that ends up meaning ;)

What a "Season"..

Everyone around seems to be in this wandering season of life.

What is next?
How long to I have to wait?
When can it be my turn?
Why did this happen?

Waiting on Answers. Some of us {not myself} are more patient than others. But I was talking to a friend of mine the other morning telling her about my "season" if you will. I explained how I felt like you can get lost in a "wandering season". I told her I felt tired. I feel exhausted. I'm just waiting for my answer.. if you know anything about me, You know I HATE the silence.

It is in the silence that I find myself. The person that is still hurting for losing a child. The person who is waiting for my answer to the age old question when will I be able to have children? The person that loses hope without a moments notice and the person who is unshakably in love with her Savior after everything that has happened.

I find it amazing how we burry things inside. So deep that we forget they are even there. To a point where we aren't able to realize what we need from the Lord. So we don't ask. For me its restoration. I think there is a difference in Healing and Restoring. I feel as though my healing process is coming to an end after 3 yrs and now the restoration process can begin.

I'm not a patient person. But I'm learning.

"My heart says of you, "Seek His Face!" Your face, O Lord, I will seek." Psalm 27:8

And because a photography blog has to have a picture...

Stink..

I stink at blogging on a regular basis. One day I know I'll be better. I won't even pretend to lie and say it my new years resolution because its not. ;) I'm booking up really fast for my wedding season and I'm so excited for all the weddings!! Not to mention all of the portrait sessions.

Here is a taste from John and Bethany's Engagement Session...

And one from Trey and Michelle's Anniversary Session...

Oh and a little taste of Amy's Headshots...

2011 is booking up quickly email me @ jessicaleephotography@comcast.net :)

Chicken Music Soup for the Soul...

Sometimes music really can heal the soul... or at least speak to the soul so loudly that you can't hear anything but the truth. God is always shocking me with how much He cares. Even in the days that I flat out tell him how hard it has been losing a child and not knowing the age old "when" question... He is faithful. His healing is awesome...


Meet Heather Williams.




Now... listen to this..

hallelujah by Heather Williams

He is Faithful...

and I am so in love with this man..

CauseWays..

This past weekend Jeff and I were able to spend some uninterrupted time together. Which isn't always an option for us. Saturday morning I met with some amazing women and had a mini breakfast/brunch. After that I picked Jeff up for our favorite meal.. Chinese. (The fake kind.) Yes, there is such a thing as fake Chinese. We don't want it to be too fake or too real. It has to be the kind that is somewhat lost in between. reake. Reake = a mix between real and fake. After I obtained our delicious meal, I drove until we got to the bayish area of Mobile and pulled the car over on the causeway. We rolled down the windows and enjoyed one of the most beautiful days so far this fall in our car, on the side of the road, eating Chinese. It was an amazing day... Thanks to my forgetfulness, which I do believe is a disease I didn't have my camera. Alas.. The handy smartphone that Jeff owns took this one...

The battleship is behind us if you look closely... 

I love this man. I loved this weekend. Now, its time for much needed sleep. Here is a sneak peek from my photo shoot today. 

oh yes.. she is such a doll! 

The Smallwood's

Whew, this week has flown by. I’m working on finishing an amazing wedding from Hilton Head. The now Smallwood’s are such an amazing couple. Their wedding was filled with worship. Getting married right on the beach allowed them to witness not only the love of Christ to those attending the wedding but to those who decided to stop walking and watching this beautiful wedding take place. Here are just a few pictures from their day! 

Past Due Fees?

I'm pass due.

Playing catch up is hard to do for me. I’ve never enjoyed being in second place and that’s how I feel about catch up. I don’t like it. So I ignore it. Please forgive me cyberspace. I know you can be so cruel.

Here are some of my favorite images from a wedding back in the summer. I realize that I just said summer. Don’t judge me. I told you I was behind.

Maggie's dress was beautiful. 

 so was she.. 

Trey was one good lookin' groom. 

 A few final touches... 

Such a sweet moment of prayer during the ceremony.

The reception facility was perfect for them. 

I'm so blessed to have such great bridal parties!

The golf course of which we were kindly asked not to touch any of the green with heels. :) 

"on 3 or jump after 3?"

They were taken to their hotel on a private boat ride.. awesome? I think so.
