A testimony of faithfulness and love

Happy 40th Anniversary to a couple that are very dear to our hearts! We go way, way back... to the fall of 1977.  Willie’s zeal and joy of the Lord made such an impression on me, there’s no doubt God used Willie to lead me to a relationship with God.  To Willie I am eternally grateful! 

A few years later, in the year of our Lord 1980, Willie and Marie joined in holy matrimony.  They have weathered many storms and are testimony of faithfulness and love.  Congratulations Willie and Marie!  May your remaining years be full of joy and blessings!

Their favorites from their anniversary portrait session are shown below.  Enjoy!

The Class of 2020-The one where they were quarantined

If you are wondering why I gave this post this title, you will know after you see the last image taken during Austin's cap and gown session today.  Austin, its been great working with you!  We are so proud of you and look forward to what God has in store for your future!!!

Austin's Pet Session

Meet Madison Elaine--Maddie for short and her pup Gracie!  They took their sweet ol' time getting to their portrait session with Austin.  Austin loves his dogs as you will be able to tell in his favorites below.  The last image is of Austin with their three steers who weren't very interested in getting their portraits taken.  Enjoy!

Austin's Studio Session

Austin brought his bass guitar to his studio session so we posed him with his guitar dressed in his suit and casual attire.  I so enjoyed his portrait sessions as Austin is so easy-going!  It's amazing how much Austin has grown since his last session in July of last year.  We have included his favorites from this session and also his graduation invitation we designed from a favorite from his last two sessions.  Enjoy!

Andrea & Fabian after their wedding...

We did the group shots and several of the bride and groom just outside the courthouse.  Then the couple came out to our home/studio to do some portraits and to cut the Mexican wedding cake that Andrea's mom made. I've included their favorites for you to enjoy!  To view the wedding slideshow, click here. 

Andrea & Fabian's Beautiful Courthouse Wedding

I had never been to a courthouse wedding and wasn't expecting much. Only 10 of us could be in the courtroom including the judge.  Though it was quick ceremony it was the most emotional one that I've ever photographed.  I think some of that has to do with being related to the groom.😆  My grandson Fabian and his beautiful bride Andrea were so happy they both wept with joy during the ceremony that even the judge seemed to enjoy herself!  I've included some of their favorites from their wedding on Monday, June 1, 2020, and a few before and after the wedding.  We will share more from after the wedding in a separate post.  To view the wedding slideshow, click here.  Enjoy!
