Nathan {Graduate Session}

Nathan.  How do I tell you about him?  He's the Weather Man.  He's Supernate, the Geocacher.  He's Neighbor Nate.  . . .  He is always busy enjoying life, be it chasing down geocaches (logging nearly 6400 finds), studying hard (broadcast journalism), or tracking the weather and making sure everyone is safe in all our crazy tornadoes.  His long-term goal is a degree in broadcast meteorology, and let me be the first to recommend him for whatever job he pursues!  Nathan is responsible for entertaining my kids around a bonfire or at a picnic on his back porch.  He has helped untangle a bike from under my car on a crazy morning when I was late for church.  Nathan is just the kind of guy you want as a friend and neighbor, and we are blessed to have both in him.    

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Nathan, I wish you well as you finish your last few weeks of college, and as you look forward to wherever God leads you in your future.  

James and Ashley {Engagement}

  James and Ashley asked me some time ago to capture their engagement, but it has been UGLY in our part of the world.  Rain and winter just would not let up.  They wanted an outdoor session, in some fields, with a barn, and some sunshine.  So we waited.  Finally, Spring arrived, and we headed out.  And what a perfect day it was!  James has an old Ford truck that he has rebuilt, and it, along with his cowboy hat just totally set the tone for our session.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish you well in this time of anticipation and planning, James and Ashley!  I pray your years together will be many, and your love always content in each other.

Helen

I think this post could be about two women:  Helen, whom you can see in the photos, and her friend Sheryl.  Sheryl wanted to do something special for Helen for Christmas, and she wanted Helen to choose her gift.  Of all the things in the world that Helen wanted, it was some pictures of herself.  She hadn't had any made in a long time, and she wanted some for herself and for her son.  I was the honored one to be able to capture these moments with Helen.  And truly, it was special for me to be a part of this gift.  Thank you, Helen and Sheryl!
