S & N Engagement





















I don't know how I have done this-- but I have had the honor of photographing some of THE most beautiful couples!! And this couple is NO exception! I had never met the bride or the groom in this case-- and I was amazed at how easy they made my job. They are such a sweet, precious couple!!

God has been so good to me this hot, hot summer!! So many times the rain has held off until the minute my session is complete. And today, He filled the sky with clouds so that we could have a very pleaseant temperature for this session! I am just amazed! The entire summer I never had to move a single session for weather. Praise God for that. And often, it was cooler than usual.

We had a great time at the home of a very sweet family that is always so welcoming. This yard is beautiful with ENDLESS possibilities! I could do every session there and show something deifferent every time! I thought it turned out beautiful for this couple.

The BIG day is in November- and this session has gotten me really excited about it! I know it will be beautiful! The hardest part has been choosing my favorites!! There are sooo many more that I loved too!! My session favorite was the bottom one. They are just so happy!

So I am looking forward to posting pics of this happy couple in the future. Thanks soooo much "s" for trusting me with your beautiful portraits! It was great to finally meet you guys- I had a great time!

Promise of Joy:
Perfect love casts out fear.
1 John 4:18

This verse is so sweet to me. But the word perfect is what really stands out. I don't believe we are capable of perfect love. This is only something that Christ has the capability of- and has PROVEN it to us through His death and resurrection. But if we give ourseleves to Him, we are capable of a much greater love than without Him. Marriage is so difficult in this world we live in. There are so many temptations and expectations out there that divide our focus from our family. The only way to resist those things is to keep 3 in your marriage at all time- you, your spouse, and Jesus. Love because of Him- and like Him. Be willing to give up ALL you have AND want-- for your family- for your spouse- for your marriage. I have prayed for this couple-- and all the others I have photographed-- for a loving, Christ-centered marriage-- it is an awesome thing- and worth staying focused on!!
