Big City Wedding

Megan & Aaron tied the knot on Saturday, June 13th, in Dallas, Texas! This wedding was amazing, both elegant and a lot of fun. It was nice being back in the Dallas area, I even had my good friend Jake there to assist me for the evening. The ceremony took place at St. Thomas, which was a gorgeous Catholic church. The reception that followed was held at the "Empire Room" which I believe was on the 49th floor in downtown Dallas, which had an amazing view.
It was such a special evening for the two of them, and I know they enjoyed every minute of it.
Thanks again you two for having me be a part of your big day! Congrats again!

HEARTACHE

I'm not good at this. . .not at all. My heart aches for my dear friend Cheryl who lost her daughter Kelsey this past week. Nothing in this entire world can prepare you for this kind of pain. I have so many thoughts so much to express. . .but i can't. Not now.
These are portraits of Cheryl and her other sweet daughter Marissa that I took almost a year ago. A relationship between a child and a parent is one if not the most powerful relationship of a lifetime. I reflect back on these photos and think of my own family and want them to know how much I love them always.
Cheryl, I love you, thank you for being my dear friend and my mentor. You don't deserve any of this. You mean the world to me and more. You are a very special person, Kelsey was so lucky to have a mother like you!

Chris & Kurt. . . and Parker

Chris and Kurt are so in love! They got married last fall in Portland and shortly after, Kurt left for war. He is home for 2 weeks, and Chris and Kurt plan to spend every second together and of course with their very sweet dog "Parker".
I realized how much I admired these two after their photo shoot. Kurt's a soldier in Iraq. . . who has a "BEAUTIFUL" wife, which he only get to see when he is on leave. I admire his strength and courage to do what he does to protect his country and I admire Chris for her constant support and being his biggest fan. You two are amazing, and I can tell that your love for one another is endless. Thank you Kurt for protecting us all!
