There are some VERY exciting new things coming to Artistical Inspiration Photography, BIG changes! Lots of new products, prices, and the thing I am most excited about..  this new tool to help my clients get ideas – INSPIRE GALLERY’S

So many of my clients have wanted to do gallery walls or displays and just didn’t know how to customize it for each client. I have over 15 ideas here, that will help you and I put together gorgeous displays. It will be available in a spiral bound book for your to flip through during your proofing session. Or as a PDF file for you to look at in the comfort of your own home!

As an added bonus, if you order a set of images from the Inspire Guide then you will get 10% off those images for each gallery purchased!

Here is a sample of what the guide is and some ideas it has to offer (I think I will be using some of these in my home).

I am so exicted about what this new year has to bring!! I cant wait to work with you all in 09′.

“Don’t let this photographer’s youthfulness fool you – she’s a natural talent. Everyone who sees our portraits comments on their uniqueness and fun attitude. The way she captured the love between my husband and I took my breath away – we have it on a large canvas in our bedroom as a tribute to 25 years of marriage. We will call Amber again when it is time to take family portraits. ~ L. Locker”

“Amber was great to work with. It was priceless to have her come into our home for the photo shoot. Every time we have taken our son in to the studios we barely get three good pictures because he just wants to run around. With Amber coming out to us, we were able to get over 20 amazing shots and had a difficult time narrowing the print selection down. Amber has been blessed with an amazing gift, not only to capture smiles and personalities, but an art at putting it all together to give you a keepsake of the most precious memories that will surely last a lifetime!” ~ Mandy R

“You can truly see how much Amber enjoys photography. Amber glows while doing a session with my children or my daycare children. She not only shows how much she enjoys what she is doing but she makes sure that the kids are enjoying themselves as well. Amber truly captures the essence of the moment with every click of that camera. The first photos that she took of me and my daughter were absolutely breathtaking. I instantly started crying, because I knew that I could hold onto that moment forever. My daughter looking up at me with that admiration in her eyes, I will treasure that forever. Thank you Amber for every moment that you capture so gracefully. All our love and praise.” ~ Jennifer Gann

“I’m in absolute TEARS over here, lol . That is quite simply the most amazing website I have ever seen, WOW! My heart just reacted and I was sobbing. What you wrote under “about me” was extremely touching, well written and fantastically emotional. I just opened a river of feelings in me about being a mom and how I have felt about my children and the few wonderful photographs I’ve been blessed to take. The one about your favorite photo of Elijah and how it instantly transports you back to that moment and makes you able to smell “fresh baby skin” {{{{{{{{{sigh}}}}}}}}, I have felt that way about many pics I have too. You truly are talented and blessed Amber. That site is bound to touch a lot of people and bring the business pouring in as well as your talent will reward them once they do.” ~Carin

“Amber did a wonderful job working with my little one. She was patient, professional and was able to capture some of my daughter’s everyday expressions that I will be able to cherish forever. I could not have asked for better first birthday photos.”

“Amber is a very talented and artistic person, she put together a calendar for me and it came out beautifully. I know Amber is very dedicated to her work and thats why you get great quality with such a great turn around. I have never seen anyone do what she does so well and so fast. I will definitely be coming to Amber for future projects and pictures eventually. Thanks Amber for all your hard work and dedication.” ~Magdalena

“Amber did a phenomenal job working with my 2 young boys!! Their pictures turned out beautiful! Some of the photos brought tears to my eyes as they captured my boys perfectly. These are exactly what I was looking for…and I got them for a very reasonable price. I will look to Amber for my future photo needs.” ~Mandy

“I think Amber has great talent, and really knew how to capture the best in my children. I have had my family pictures taken with many photographer’s, as I really love photography as well. I would have to say that Amber is by far one of the better photographers that we have experienced. Thank you Amber!!!” ~Kristen B

“Amber takes time, effort and energy to make sure that the work you receive is professional, creative and beautiful! She created a beautiful calendar and collage of my son and my family. I will cherish those both for many years to come! She is so talented and I will be calling on her to create more memories for my family!” ~Bridget

Just a quick not to some of the NILMDTS parents who check my blog! You are in my prayers often and will forever be in my hearts!! I often get this question or a form of this question from a lot of the parents I volunteer for. Its often hard to understand struggles when they effect you or someone close to you first hand. Our faith is shaken and we begin to question things in our lives. The thing I hear most often is “Why us?” or “Why did God allow this to happen”

“If there is a God, a loving, merciful God, why does He allow people to suffer? How can He allow humans to experience the terrible accidents, illnesses, crime, wars and troubles that are so common in this world every day? Doesn’t He care?”

God does care. He knows when humans suffer. But, let’s remember, God isn’t a mere human. He is God. His perspective is infinitely greater than ours. He sees the “bigger picture” – that our experiences as mortal humans, however painful or unhappy, will be to our eventual benefit.

We tend to be comfortable believing in God when all is going our way. But let tragedy strike and we can quickly begin to doubt His very existence.

Are Christians forgiven of our sins? If so, why are we still suffering for our sins? Yes, all our sins are forgiven and paid for when we become Christians and accepted Christ as our Savior. However, we still have to face the consequences of our sins on earth.

Let’s remember that even the longest human life is merely like a single grain of sand on the infinite beach of the eternal life to come. After we have become immortal, even a century of the worst human pain and suffering would seem to us as almost insignificant. we will surely be the better for having experienced it.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Anticipate STRUGGLES in life.

” concider it a sheer gift, friends, when test and challenges come to you from all sides” – James 1:2

“Blessed is the man who persevers under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will recieve the crown of life that God has promised to whose who love him” James 1:12
