Holiday Decorations

Our Christmas tree is adorned with quite a few ornaments from places we have traveled through from around the country and abroad. 

It's nice to decorate each year and remember each trip with a flashback moment and smile as the tree is beautifully decorated one month each year.  

Of course, the tree is full of just cutesy ornaments we have collected over the past nineteen years as well. Our tree also has our first two beloved dogs we had for many years and sadly lost to old age. 

Wreaths Of Respect

 A field of stone honoring our fallen soldiers in the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg National Military Park located in Gettysburg Pennsylvania. There 500 fallen soldiers buried within the park. Christmas wreaths are placed every year on each tomb stone for the holiday, showing as a nation and county, we never forget.

Jingle Bell Ride

Spreading holiday cheer and riding ponies all wrapped up into one cold morning. Pony Up LLC of New Oxford set out to spread cheer in housing developments in New Oxford Saturday.Even Santa Claus saddled up for the ride.

Ember Grace's First Photo Shoot

Our third grandchild and first granddaughter Ember Grace's first photo shoot with me, her Pop Pop. It didn't go as planned as I am not the best baby photographer, but I do like these two shots. We will have plenty of time to practice I am betting. Here she is just ten days old. 

Ember was born on December 3rd and everything went smoothly, quick delivery time and all is going well for her, mommy and two brothers. They are really liking having a little sister around....for now anyways. 

Lucas the Snowboy

Ta-Da....Here I am and I am not fond of what my mommy did to me, I just know this picture will come back to haunt me in my teenage years somehow.

Four of my favorite little people and they're all cousins. 

Double Trouble

Our two grandsons Rion and Trey. This is their last photo of just boys, they will have a sister within the week. 

Stay tuned!

Santa Comes To New Oxford

Saturday evening, the New Oxford Chamber Of Commerce hosted the return of Santa Clause back to New Oxford's beautiful circle in the center of town.

Nearly a hundred people waited his arrival in a antique car driven by town resident Jim Blankenship. Santa flipped the switch to light the tree, then sat in a sleigh and greeted children and took down their wish lists, and then gave them a Christmas book as a early present.

For a small town, it's a quaint little tradition and as a resident, I am proud of my towns effort to bring us together.

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

It's the most wonderful time of the year....and Dayne and his momma Kim took time out of their holiday schedule to shoot Christmas portraits with SJRoth Photography.  The big guy from the North Pole even made an appearance.

Naughty or Nice?

It;s Christmas portrait time again, and SJRoth Photography is hard at it shooting family keepsakes. Here is Caitlyn and Kylie having some fun with their session. 

Prepping For Christmas Portraits

 It's nearly that time where everyone is planning their holiday cards to mail out. I am in the planning stages of offering portraits in a non-formal setting, candid's with a Christmas theme, such as the two examples here. Contact me if you are interested in a photo session, they are affordable and custom.
