Apparently this has been going around for quite some time, but today was the first time I came across it. Everything it says is the truth, and while it sounds simple, putting all those pieces together is extremely hard. I think the best any of us can do is take each day as a blessing and strive to make the very best of it.
We put together a video slideshow of the recent engagement session with Josh and Carley. Can’t wait to work with these guys more. Enjoy!
Love is the arms that are holding you. Love never fails you. -Brandon Heath
…your friendship can’t satisfy me, Anne. I want your love.
That describes Josh’s feelings exactly, because he wasn’t satisfied with having Kelly as a friend. He needed her to be his wife.
Josh and Kelly were married on a beautiful April afternoon during a ceremony at Temple Baptist Church. Emotions were almost palpable as Kelly walked down the aisle. The tears of joy in her eyes, the comforting pat of her brother’s hand on hers, the bittersweet smile of a mother that is giving her daughter away but is joyous in doing so. When Josh got his first look of Kelly in her dress he got one of those huge trademarked “Josh” smiles on his face and let out an audible “Whew!” He had good reason. She was stunning. Let’s face it, he married up. Just kidding Josh. I think Josh’s sister Rebbeca described him best in her toast during the reception at the Squire Creek Country Club. She said the main rule of living with Josh was to simply love him. Give him your love and he will return that love devotedly.
Just like Gilbert Blythe.
I had a chance to take some photos of my cousin and her family from Fort Worth over the Christmas holidays. Her son, Wyatt, was only a few months old, but man he hams it up in front of the camera. It helped that he had a constant cheering section behind me. I think mom and dad had gotten used to getting smiles out of him. Here are a few of my favorites along with a quick slideshow video.
Lauren contacted me a few months ago with a somewhat unusual request. She wanted bridal portraits taken almost a year after she was actually married. A little background information might explain why. Lauren was engaged to Evan, and Evan was actively deployed in the military until right before the wedding. On top of all the wedding planning, Lauren and Evan were moving to Ruston, AND Lauren was taking a new job as the Louisiana Tech Regal Blues dance line coach. Add all that together and she never had time to get bridal portraits taken. She is beautiful in her dress, so of course we had to remedy that omission. We had a great time during the session, Lauren’s outgoing nature and dancer’s grace made the shoot a lot of fun.
