Preview of Easter Sessions{By:JJ & Lindsey Vavra/ Rio Grande VAlley Professional Photographers}

Here is our sweet Colin helping us set up for our Easter Mini Sessions.  Of course he is wearing a hat due to his terrible hair cut, but I really LOVE the hat!

We still have some openings available and will be open for booking on Monday.  Our Full of Joy team member Christine will be returning calls and emails to help get sessions scheduled.  We look forward to seeing you soon!

Have a GREAT St. Patrick’s Day!

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!-A Personal note

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:33
I love this verse and so thankful I came across it over the Christmas break! I will absolutely read it everyday in 2012!
Peace! Peace to you all throughout the New Year! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! I feel overwhelmingly blessed and full of PEACE! I’m beyond excited for 2012 and will be looking for the JOY in all that God lays before me! Love to you all!

With a humbled heart,
Lindsey Vavra

Schools Out for the Summer!

Wow, what a fun and exciting time of year it is!   I love it!  Everyone is ready to be done with homework and ready to hit the pool.  As a mom, I am thrilled to have my boys out of school and to be able to do science experiments, go to the beach, zoo and library with them; all while I continue to work hard!

Out for Christmas!!

Hello everyone!

We  have been very busy lately taking photographs and delivering them to our joyous clients/friends.  Now that Christmas is upon us, we can start showing you the photographs we have taken.

For the next week, we will not be around internet access.  :(  So, please don’t be upset if we are not returning your emails.  We just can’t… yet.  It is now time for us to spend time with our families to celebrate the birth of Jesus and are unable to take any more photographs.  We appreciate the phone calls and emails for more jobs.  It is just another sign that God provides.

Thank you so much for the wonderful year friends!  We love looking back at all the photographs you allowed us to take.  We will be out of contact for a week, so please be patient with us while we celebrate Christmas with our families.
Merry Christmas!!!

Fun in the sun!-By Lindsey Vavra/RGV Harlingen,Texas Photographer

I don’t know about  you, but our family has been enjoying our trips to the beach this summer.  Some days we play in the sand and other days we go to the water-park.  I think the trips to the sand are my favorite!

I had planned on taking the boys to the beach myself for a couple days each week, but after one trip I realized that it was not so “joyful”. So, we changed our plans!   Now we go about once a week, but with daddy and boy is it Full of Joy(minus the sand in places we don’t want it)!

Colin is fearless and he loves to be in the ocean…and Carter does too…but they never seem to want to be at the same place at the same time. 
Maybe next year????

I am working on video of all of our summer fun and hope to post it in the next few weeks.  Stay tuned….

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
