a night to remember...

I had the pleasure of capturing these adorable middle-schoolers, as they were on their way to the 
"black and white" themed 8th grade dance/party! It brought back so many memories, as I watched them laugh, smile, act goofy, pose, and just glow with FRIENDSHIP! They were up on rocks, in the grass, jumping in the air...and did it all with a smile! At the end, we began walking back to the car. I couldn't help but notice the care and concern they each took for each other, as they wiped grass off each other's clothes, touched up make-up, and adjusted hair! The power of friendship is so great...especially at this age!
Thank you Susie for asking me to capture this memory for your daughter and her friends. 
You are an amazing Mother, and your daughter is so lucky to have a Mom who cares so much, 
to go out of her way to make this evening... 
one to remember!

a couple in harmony...

A little over a year ago, my brother thought he would give the ol' online dating one last shot...
while a young woman's friends told her, if she didn't try it...they would do it for her!
Little did they realize that her first attempt, and his last, would find their match for life!
It has been such an amazing experience to listen to my brother's stories and watch him fall in love. 
Not only has he fallen for a sweet, energetic, compassionate, hard working, beautiful woman and mother...
He has fallen for her son, who is full of joy and a complete "Mr. Personality"!
I was honored to take their photos, on this gorgeous weekend.
It was a special experience for me to be able to witness to their love first hand. 
Dave, Monique and Peyton...
I love you all and wish you the happiest of life together!
PS. I wouldn't normally post so many photos, but I just couldn't resist...you are my brother after all!
