Happy Birthday { to our twins } Marin, Napa, Sonoma County Photographer....Shelley Hohe

Today we celebrated our son and daughters 12th birthday.  We had such a fun day starting out with a nice breakfast at home with dad taking the morning off, followed by lunch with grandma and a trip to the mall for some shopping.  I am so blessed to be their mom and to have watched them grow over the last 12 years.  I love looking back at all the photos I have captured of them and to see that my love of photography started way before 3 years ago.  I might not have been the best photographer, but the passion and desire to capture our kids at different stages in their life was there.  They are a huge reason behind Shelley Dee Photography.  Thank you Thomas and Katelyn for inspiring me to continue capturing you with my camera.  Happy Birthday....I love you both so much!!!

These 2 photos were taken over 10 years ago with my little point & shoot

Happy Fathers Day {My Dad} Marin, Napa, Sonoma County Photographer...Shelley Hohe

Happy Fathers Day to my dad who I love and miss so very much!  The reason I miss him is because he lives on the other side of the United States. There is quite a bit of mileage separating us, but not enough to hinder the love I have for my dad.  If anything it just makes my heart love and miss him even more!


Even though my dad lives on the other side of the U.S. we still talk often on the phone which I love!  He is still that dad who loves me no matter what, who gives me strength, who encourages me and who I can go to for some very important answers.  I love the fact that I know he will always have my back, he will always be there for me in my time of need.


Just recently my dad had heart bypass surgery, it was so hard to know he was going through this difficult time in his life and I could not be there for him.  All I could do was pray to God to give him strength, to comfort him and to heal his body.  So far God has done that and I am so thankful.  He has had a little bit of a tough time with his recovery,  but I know God is faithful, each and every day is a new day of restoration!


I love my dad so much and there is nothing worse than to know your parent is not feeling well.  You always know your dad to be the strong one, your hero, but sometimes even our dads need a hero too.  So today being Fathers Day I pray that my dad will know that the love I feel from him is just a glimpse of the love our Father God has for my dad.  Gods love is perfect love and I thank God for loving me so much that He blessed me with such a loving, strong and encouraging dad!!


Happy Fathers Day Dad!!  I love you with all my heart!!!

This is how God showed His love for us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loves us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. {1 John 4:9-10}
