Hi I'm Denise



Hi Everyone! Thanks for coming to look at my blog. It always seems like I am trying to play catch up here because this is always the last place I come to update. But maybe now with a little help I will be able to keep up with this.

A little about me, I have been doing photography for a very very long time. It has been my secret love for many many years but with some encouragement from my family and FRIENDS, I made it official and created Denise Rudd Photography. With their help and God's blessing it has been wonderful. I am very thankful for the talent that God has given me.

A little about my family. I have a wonderful husband Brad, that I will be married to 20 years in July. My high school sweetheart..that still means the world to me. I also have three wonderful kids. Kaylee is the one that drives me crazy, but also keeps me sane.. What more could you ask for from a graduated 18 year old daughter. Then Nathan is my baby.. Well he will always be my baby even though he will be a junior and is 16. He's the one that keeps me busy running from one sporting even to another. But I wouldn't have it any other way. And last is Jesse. He's the Big Kid God blessed us with 5 years ago. He will be 21 soon and well we couldn't be more proud of him.

Well I guess that is it. Hope you enjoy your visit and come back and visit often!

my other real job

So all this week I am at the FB all week.. Not alot of people know that I also work for South Plains Food Bank. That's my other love.. I help and serve the 21 counties that the Food Bank covers. I do alot of traveling to the many many counties and small towns visiting people that may need help with assistance. Whether it be Food, Medical, or just a person for them to unload all their troubles too and me try to help them find a way to get the help they need.. Well that's me.. I love it!! I have been in the social work field for many many years.. And well I tried to leave it once and well my life was just not right.. I had to come back.. And boy has God bless me with a wonderful job, wonderful people to work with, and well wonderful people that I get to meet on a daily basis...I have met so many many people, families that well are just down on their luck, homeless famlies and homeless Veterans that just nothing seems to go their way, to.... well the young pregnant teenage girl that has no where else to turn tooo. I can't say it enough.. It's wonderful... (Keeps me humble) Well this week I am at the FB in the office trying to fill the place of 4 very important people that decided to go on vacation.. (Yah they left me behind)(besides not know a thing about what they do) lol.... But anyways, I have had a little time since Im not out an about driving to play with some things and well yep you guess it BLOG.. So hope you like the new layout!! Hopefully since I will be behind a desk all week I can do a lil more inbetween... And here's my foodbank plug. We are always needing volunteers, donations of food, and school supplies. Ok well I will be stop talking.. I actually have a couple of pictures that I thought I would post on here from the FB that I took last year during the school supply drive...
This shoot above was the actually used to send out to all of the companys as a Thank you for their help and donations!! So that was pretty cool.... Do yall recognize this guy pulling the tote? Jackson taking a break Elijah and Michael and I think Jackson going thru gluesticks to make backpacks Jameson setting up for the day to give out 3800 backpacks full of school supplies.

Slaton 13-14 year old Allstars

So last weekend we went to Odessa to the Regional Tournament for All-Stars..We got to be included in this because Nathan made All-stars.... It was an awesome weekend.. The boys amazed me all weekend playing the different teams. They did alot of growning up in those 3 days and well just being a TEAM and Family..(And not just thinking of themselves) it was Awesome.. It was also amazing to see all the extra people that made the road trip and spent time and money to see these boys play so many didn't have a son/grandson/nephew playing they just wanted to come and support the boys.. That was amazing.. It was just awesome to be a part of that... Thanks to all yall... But anyways all of the boys will be going to High School next month and I can't wait to see what they will accomplish in High School... Congrats Guys!! Yall worked hard.. We are so proud of each and everyone one of yall.
much love, denise

This is my favorite picture. Caught the boys praying right before the first game. And they did it on thier own.. =]
