Welcome to the new KBRACKETT.COM!

Welcome to the BRAND NEW KBRACKETT.COM! For those of you who know me you know I’m not real big on change that involves me learning one single new thing about technology (thus the Nokia flip phone that I will carry until I die)…lol!  But because I have the most AMAZING and GIFTED webmaster who is very patient with technology challenged folks like me here it is and I hope you love it as much as I do!

It was so fun for me to go back through the thousands of pictures that I have been blessed to capture over the past 6 years and choose some of my very favorite to put in the intro slideshow and the galleries.   Kim Estes is my webmaster and dear friend and God graciously brought her into my life over 10 years ago.  She picked the song for the intro slide show and even though I only listen to Christian music, surprisingly I had never heard “Blessings”, or of Laura Story.

When I finished the slideshow and watched it for the first time all the way through I knew God had Kim choose the perfect song for my website and I realized how the words to the song could not be more perfect for where so many of us are in our journey with God right now.  I hope that you will take four minutes out of your life to not only look at the pictures but more importantly to listen to the anointed words of the song Blessing.

When you look at the pictures in the intro video you may see something completely different than I do because I know most of the stories behind the photograph…the joy and the heartache, the divorce and the restored marriage, the life and the death, the tears and the laughter, the sickness and the healing, the sin and the grace, the answered prayers and the unanswered ones, the struggles and ultimately the victory!  The captured moment of these photographs is a moment of time, but it’s the moments that you don’t see in the picture that makes us who we are.  Some of you are on the mountaintop right now, and some are in a valley and I dare say some of us wonder if we will ever get out of the valley that God has allowed us in His sovereignty to be in.  I can tell you, that all I know is that there will be blessings…through tears, through raindrops, through life and death…there will always be blessings because that is the promise of our Almighty God!

One of the biggest blessings you will find on my website is pictures of God’s children in Ghana Africa.  Please take the time to look at the Ghana Africa gallery and visit the Touch a Life Website so you can see and learn more about God’s beautiful children who have stolen our hearts in Ghana.

I want to thank you all  for the gift of capturing some of your beautiful God Moments, but more importantly I want to graciously thank you all for the undeserved blessing of sharing in your lives and in this earthly  journey with you as we long for eternity ~ each and every one of you are my blessings.

TORIE!!!!  :)  Thank you for trusting me enough to jump in my car and just head off to “randomland” (even though Meagan told you that was weird!)  lol!  I had a great time capturing your crazy beautiful black boot stolen yellow flower self – your random shoot turned into some amazing senior pictures! Praying that God continues to bless you sweet girl and that your future is filled with peace and love and fulfillment from your Daddy in Heaven!  Thanks for the blessing of being your senior photographer!  Love you!

Senior pictures are my favorite for lots of reasons, but one is because I love having time with these seniors talking about their lives, their high school memories and how excited they are about the new adventures awaiting them after graduation!  Every senior deserves a super fun creative photo shoot just for them and that’s part of why I love my job!  Brianna I am so thankful that God allowed me the blessing of finally getting to know you better and hanging out with you your senior year.  You brighten the lives of so many people with your beautiful smile and your AMAZING Spirit!  Continue to live for God…out loud and unapologetically!  Love you sweet girl!

Over 14 years ago God brought a best friend into my life…a girl best friend (which was kinda new to me)…lol!  This best friend had a four year old little girl with big brown eyes and perfect buttermilk skin…her name was Carley and she was so beautiful!  Well, this little brown eyed girl grew up and I have been extremely blessed to be a small part of her journey for the past 14 years.  Thank you Carley for allowing me the blessing of capturing these special memories for you and your mom!  I love you and can’t wait to have you here in Abilene so I can share a little in watching God grow you in your college journey too!

Downtown with Kimery

Meet Kimery ~ a whole lot o’ sweet and a lil bit o’ sass!  I got a last minute call from Kimery’s mom to take her 14 year old birthday pictures and I was so excited!  Individual shoots will always and forever be my favorite because you can go anywhere and do anything which means FUN and CREATIVE pictures!    Thank you, Kimery, for the fun night in downtown Abilene!  We had perfect sunlight and even the wind calmed down in our lil’ west Texas town in time for us to get some great shots.
