1st Anniversary | David & Sarah

An anniversary is a time to celebrate 

the joys of today

 the memories of yesterday

& the hopes of tomorrow.

My brother, David, the steady, smart, thoughtful, Southern, engineer, prayed for years for the Lord to send him the woman he should marry.  That prayer was answered in the form of an energetic, hard-working, red-headed, Canadian girl, named Sarah who had spent years praying for the right man.  In some ways, I think they couldn't be more different, but then I see her bring out a little bit of adventure in him & watch him bring out some quiet, thinking in her & I think differences are a good thing..  hey, at least it makes life interesting! ;)  So to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of these two, I drug them into a goldenrod field on the side of the road & chased the quickly setting sun to get these pictures, which I personally love! :)  To see their wedding photos & read a {very long} blog post about them, click here.

That light, y'all!!

They make each other laugh! :)

aww

Here's wishing y'all many more years of loving, caring, supporting, laughing, making memories, plans, & just doing life together.

Katelyn : North Carolina Senior Photography

 Katelyn started coming to my church about 2 years ago.  A lot of her personality reminds me of myself as a teenager.  Quiet & shy, I'll see her standing to the side either watching all that's going on or just lost in her own world.  People tend to think that girls like us are stuck up or angry or sad, but really, we just have nothing to say at the moment.  Or we have tons to say, but can't get the words out like we think they should be, so we don't even try.  But when Katelyn gets around a friend that she's comfortable with, you see her start to open up.  It was a privilege to catch her genuine laugh & smiles in these photos!  We had a great time during her session talking & laughing & just being ourselves!  After she graduates this coming June, Katelyn wants to go to Bible college to study Christian Education & teach in a private school.  She loves the Lord & is striving to serve Him with her life!  I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for your future, Katelyn, & pray that you'll always seek his will & let his light shine through you! :)

The light here was absolutely perfect!

Shy & Sweet :)

This is one of my favorites!  Love that she's laughing!

Seriously, this girl's eyes & hair are just gorgeous!

:D

Me: Ok, now do the Katelyn hand thing.  Katelyn: What? What is that.  Me: Doing that ^ with my hands.  Katelyn: (laughing) Ohh I do really do that all the time!

Definitely another of my favorites!

Story time with Anna & Sarah definitely got some laughs out of Katelyn! ;)

That wall & those leaves & her dress!!  Love it! :)
