the buehler family: family portrait shoot

A couple weeks ago I was able to visit once again with the Buehler family. This time we ventured out to the Garfield Park Conservatory with its fountains, rocks, plants and pathways. No longer a newborn, it was exciting to see how much baby Emma had developed into a beautiful little girl that could interact with the world around her. The Buehler Family is now officially in full force with three active and curious little ones! Praise God for moments like these where we are able to quiet ourselves, even for just a moment to create memories and be present with those we love! Matt and Nicole, you guys are truly blessed with a beautiful family. May you continue to find grace, love and joy in your home as you seek God's face, wisdom, and strength to bring your children up in His ways. 

Much  love and encouragement! Praying for you all!

baby emma: newborn shoot

This past Monday, six days after her birth, I had the joy of celebrating the addition of Miss Emma Madison to the Buehler family! What a precious little gift who not only is the recipient of two amazing God serving parents, but also two excited, protective, and very gentle big brothers. Emma's first name comes from the word Emmanuel, which means "God with us". It is followed by her middle name Madison, which is the place in Wisconsin where not only Matt and Nicole met, fell in-love and got married, but also where they both felt God become real to them. This little girl is a long awaited answer-to-prayer in this family and I am so excited to see how God moves in and throughout our community in the form of this little one. Praise God for a safe delivery and congratulations Buehlers on your beautiful baby girl! Peace and rest to all, if at all possible :).
