Just want to share


I'd like to share what a client whose daughter I have photographed since she was 3 months old had emailed this to me and touched me so much. 
  

"I believe that when I die, God is going to give me a slideshow of my

life.  Pictures that I've seen - some of them moments - some of them

actual photos - some of them printed and hung on my walls - some of them

the ones that I tell myself 'this one is for you only.'  When I think of the

photos you took, I think to myself:  Could I be ok that she never see

them?  And I answer:  I'm not.  And the farther away from that day - the

more important I get them in print for her to see a piece of evidence

that she is precious."


Photographs have always been and will always be a special part of everyones life. When I was a little girl, I would sit for hours looking through b/w photos of my family and never got tired of them.   I've been honored to have had the opportunity to photograph many precious moments and knowing that my photographs play a huge part of ones past is a tremendous honor that I never take for granted.   Thanks, Lilly.

Morgan Creek - Deann and Ruben

It was in October when Deann and Ruben were married at the beautiful Morgan Creek Golf and Country Club.  The weather was warm with lots of sunshine.  Deann was so beautiful and calm.    Ruben was, as usual, very easy going and funny.  Before the ceremony, as I was just finishing up photographing the guys, Ruben was handed a small folded note from Deann.  I thought how sweet it is to be handed a love note from your bride just before he sees her walk down the aisle. With a wide grin on this face, Ruben flips the note over and showed us what Deann had written,  It said,  "sucker".  Funny, Deann.  It just showed how much fun they have with each other.  

They went to high school together.  But, as the usual story goes, the guy doesn't notice the girl.   She had a crush on him then.  I know that there are plenty of you girls out there including me, who had a crush on a boy in high school who hardly knew they existed.  Fortunately for both of them, they met up again a few years later and as we all know this story had a happy ending.  I LOVE happy endings!

Here are photos of the wedding.  I enjoyed being with the two of them.  They were always laughing and enjoying each other's company.   Congratulations to a wonderful couple who are truly meant for each other.
