Wedding Photographer: Denny and Karen

My family has known Karen since before my parents were married, so to say we go back a ways is a bit of an understatement. When her precious husband, Ray, died suddenly 6 years ago, we mourned the loss of a beloved friend. To see her fall in love again was an amazing thing to watch and to have the honor to take pictures of their day - I was thrilled. They sought to honor God in every part and it was the perfect day. 

Family Photographer: The Bodin Family

I heard stories of this family all the time while growing up. I played in the nursery with the twins until I was 2. We happened to end up at the same church, 12 years later. Hadn't seen most of them for close to 5 years, but it was such an honor to capture some shots of their beautiful family. 

Portrait Photographer: Lydia

The last time you saw this gal on my blog, she was graduating early from high school and her long curly hair was whipping around in the wind. Well, I've got news for you all: she's grown up and she's a beauty. Always has been. This trooper got ready at 7 AM for pictures on a Saturday morning and she bounded out in 31 degree temps without complaint. We were so excited with the results. She reminds me a bit of Audrey Hepburn in these photos. Enjoy!
