True Romance

The most romantic love story is isn't Romeo and Juliet who died together...

but Grandma and Grandpa who grew old together.

 

 

 

 

Moments Like These.

 

 

My beautiful neice with my equally handsome nephew. Brand new siblings.

 

Moments like these, snatch them up.

They feed your soul.

L.O.V.E.

Reminded of this verse on this Valentine's Day by my sweet friend Shauna. Thank you.♥

 

Let's make it a daily practice.

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

First Dance

They danced for the first time

as husband and wife.

The world fell away - the two of them remaining.

My neice, Eisley.

I am blown away at this child's beauty.

(My cousin, her mother and her husband have the most beautiful children. It's amazing.)

Her eyse are like prisms. They glow from within.

I just love her!

"In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter 
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future 
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher 
Than the look in the eyes of a child"

A Fear Conquered

I recently photographed my first wedding on my own. I've assisted many times for my dear friend Melissa, but always vowed never to go it alone. I was too terrified. But I took the plunge. I learned lots of lessons if I should do one again, but in the end it was actually fun! The bride and groom were the most gorgeous two people I've seen.  She was so beautiful and graceful and so easy to photograph. She was so nervous and it was adorable. She hadn't seen the groom and as her mother pinned on her veil, she snuck a peek out the window to the wedding isle where her groom was waiting. I could see in that moment her nerves calm and all she saw was him waiting for her. She was peaceful in that moment. It was beautiful. This has to be my favorite shot from the day. Nothing posed, completely natural. 

I conquered a fear that day and was witness to the beauty of the love these two shared.

This couple was so cute.

I had to sneak a picture of him trying to win her an enourmous stuffed animal.

Really, why do they have to be so ginourmous!?

Merry Christmas friends and loved ones.
