Mr. and Mrs. Baker!

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Baker =)
I have been happily anticipating this day for sooo long-- and it was every bit as wonderful as I thought it would be!!! My beautiful friend was probably the happiest bride I have ever had the privilege of photographing. Every bride makes me feel certain emotions...and most are mixtures of course...but this one had heavy doses of happy!! And true to form... there is noting more beautiful than a happy bride!

Mandi-- you were gorgeous! Your dress was amazing- and everything about you was stunning and you just glowed! Thinking back to it, I smile- even sitting here alone at my computer! =) I love you!

You had so many special touches that truly made the day YOURS and so very perfect! You BOTH have great families- and of course bunches of friends that were so thankful to get to celebrate with ya'll! I don't thhink I have ever seen so many bridesmaids-- but with all of your friends... I am proud of you for being able to stop at 7! LOL!! You have always been a wonderful friend to so many-- and it showed on your day!

Ryan-- I love you too... because you make my precious friend smile -- in her heart! And of course, you are a great guy! LOL!! I am thankful for you- and want you to know I am so glad Brandon won't have to go over there and work on her stuff anymore-- hahahahaha!!! Just kidding!! you know we would do anything for either of you!

Thank you both for trusting me with your most favorite memories of your life so far! It was truly an honor-- and I loved every minute!

God bless you two and your marriage-- I have prayed for you- and will continue to that you will have many, many years of sweet happiness together... now time to pray for some twins!! LOL!!

I am always here for you....just a phone call away!
Much, much love~

Promise of Joy:
I will betroth you to me in faithfulness and love, and you will really know me then as you never have before.
Hosea 2:20

Beautiful Girl...

This little girl, somehow, gets even more beautiful every time I see her! I remember seeing that sweet face in a baby seat about 10 years ago. Wow-- how the time flies!
I loved getting to spend time with this precious mother and daughter (and pup)- it has been too long. I also love the new spot they opened my eyes up to. I will be going back!! =)
By the way... that sweet, well-behaved puppy is from the shelter. He was soooo good- better than any of my "bought" labs- for sure. LOL!!

Thank you so much, K- for trusting me with these sweet memories! I have more coming-- this is just a sneak peek! She is gorgeous and made my job so easy!

Promise of Joy:
Jesus said..."I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."

The best promise. Ever.

This handsome little guy has grown soooo much!! He is such a sweet, sweet happy boy! Every session I have ever done for him has been so easy and fun!
Today felt like we were in an actual OVEN!! So we didn't spend a whole lotta time on changing things up-- we completed this session in about 15 minutes!! There was no AIR! Gotta love Louisiana summers!!!
His lips are so stinkin sweet- and his precious little smile! He is just adorable!!
Thank you soooo much for trusting me with all of your sweet baby memories!! That means so much to me.... especially since YA'LL mean so much to me!! =)

Promise of Joy:
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among nations, "The Lord reigns!"
I Chronicles 16:31

I chose this scripture because of what seems to be happening in our country today. They can say what they want... they can change what they want... but nothing is done that the Lord hasn't ALLOWED! He is in control! It makes me sad- and we should stand up for what is right- but I find peace in knowing that decisions in Washington are not final.
