A Handsome Young Man

I had the privilege of spending time with this lovely little guy. With his mom by his side he was very comfortable in front of the camera.

The weather was lovely and so were his smiles

 Have ever seen a guy as beautiful as he?

 The bubbles were his favorite what a face. What a beautiful little guy

On her way to young Adulthood

It starts early. You see the signs, and sometimes it makes a parent cringe with delight to see their teenage on making the transition to adulthood. It may be things like getting a job, paying a bill, making appointments, or making future plans.

It may seem like just he other day they were in diapers, crawling, riding a bike, taking behind the wheel classes and graduating. Rest assured moms and dads, these are signs that you've trained them well.

This young lady is a perfect example described above. She is in her last year of high school and she has begun the transition process and it is a beautiful thing to watch.  These photos were taken as her senior portraits.

 To a beautiful and energetic young lady. May grace and peace continue to be with you. I hope you laugh hard, play hard and pray even harder.

Beautiful Young Lady

Celebrating a monumental day in the life of a teenager, takes planning and preparation and none on the details were left up to last minute. Everything was perfect, the weather, the traffic, the shoot, and the environment. Thank you Leah for allowing me to share with you and your family on this wonderful day, as you celebrated your Sixteenth Birthday.

                 Pre-party attire shots. Just a fun and carefree time before the guests arrived.

52 Years and Counting

One week ago I witnessed humility and love at its best as my in-laws celebrated their 52nd Wedding Anniversary. Whenever I utter the words 52nd anniversary mouths tend to drop in complete amazement that two people would remain together for such an extended period honoring every commitment they've made to love and respect each other.

The celebration of their Love, Life and Legacy was hosted by their ten children, with and numerous friends and other family members on hand to witness a marriage built on a solid foundation cemented with Love, Trust, Grace, Forgiveness and Perseverance.

 To those of us just starting out on the journey of life dream, and dream big the way my father in law did. To those entering into the bonds of marriage be encourage as there is hope.


Marriage was designed and blessed by God and through struggles, successes, joys and sorrow my in-laws are a shining example that the challenges, are worth.


The love and the value they instilled and modeled before their children was returned one hundred fold as they were crowned with  honor and affection by their children and grandchildren.

Proverbs 31: 10 - 13 gives a vivid description of the woman that captured the heart of a young Mr. Robin, 52 years ago. It reads, "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts in her, and lacks nothing of value. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life." Well done Mr. and Mrs. Robin, well done. 

                                                                   Mr. and Mrs. Robin

                                                                        Their awesome children
                                                                          

 

A prayer for the couple.

                                                           

                                                                       A model of Love and Perseverance.

                                                            The couple being adored by their daughter.

                                                           Staying Power, a vision of strength and togetherness.

                                                                                Beauty and Honor

                                                                         A father's crown, his children

Priceless

Family Love

On Easter Sunday not only did I celebrate in the victory and celebration of the Resurrection of Christ but I got to spend time photographing some of the most beautiful people on the PLANET. Don't believe me? check it out for yourself.

The Graduate

For four years, she was my niece in high school. In less than a week, she'll be my niece who graduated from high school and soon to be college bound. Oh the pain, of letting go.

A Joyful Time With Baby

I had the pleasure to photography this lovely little beauty with lots of personality. She was very involved in the entire process. I have to tell you at 7 weeks she was ready for her close ups.

She looked at me when she needed and took breaks when she was ready.
