Time in Alabama | Erin Rachel Photography

For the past 6 or 7 years my grandmother, "Nana", has suffered from alzheimer's disease. Last Wednesday morning she took her last breath here on earth to then go spend eternity in Heaven. What a peace in knowing that she is with the Lord and we will see her again. She left behind a Godly heritage, one that I know pleases the Lord. This quick snap shot was taken at my sisters wedding 2 1/2 years ago...if you knew "Nana" she always had a smile on her face and so friendly to everyone. Even though she may not have known who you were she was still kind and knew how to carry on a conversation!
...time spent with a loved one is a gift...
Thanks to everyone for your prayers during this time!

After the funeral services we helped my grand dad clean up the house. We worked like crazy, it was one of those days where you don't sit down until you realize it's time to eat dinner!
After a rainy day inside, I saw the sun setting and I was like...O0o00Oo0 it's amazing light. As a photographer you're always looking at light:-) So I went outside for literally 5 minutes. Set a goal for myself...I had to stay in my grandparents "yard" and sometimes I just don't like boundaries!!! So I played around with some camera settings and came up with a few pretty good looking images...that is in my opinion:-)

We will be praying for y'all. Last year we lost our grandfather, and he had Alzheimer's too... but we will see them again.

I like the picture with the sun coming through the trees best.

Praying for you and your family. I know its hard to loose someone you love. Lost four grandparents in the last two years. But God has a plan. Trust in him!

And I love that first image, 3rd, 5th, and last. Great shots.
