I’ve known Lauren since she was in elementary school. She’s beautiful…sensitive…she shines…and she has a billion dollar smile that lights up the world. I haven’t known Kyle for very long but I consider him to be a friend already. He is strong…gentle…adventurous…and brilliant. I so enjoy spending time with these two. It’s evident that they love each other deeply.
Two weeks ago we spent the morning in Old Sacramento together creating their engagement photos. Take a look…
This morning I visited with Melanie and Dan. They shared with me how they met and about how they were good friends long before the romance. You’ve heard of relationship chemistry? Well, these two definitely have it. As I listened to their story, I noticed how comfortable they were with each another. When one of them was talking, the other was genuinely listening. When Melanie speaks of Dan, her eyes twinkle…she can’t help but smile. And Dan…he is smitten….totally head over heals in love with Melanie just as she is for him. Something else I noticed: these two truly respect and appreciate each other…and they are grateful. They are so thankful that God has brought them together. Oh, by the way, you can’t spend two minutes with these two without hearing laughter and lots of it. I think that’s what a thankful, loved heart does…it laughs.
Earlier this month we met together for an engagement shoot. Here are a couple photos from our time and a video:
Hi there! In Baz Luhrmann’s epic, Australia, the little boy Nullah says at the movie’s end, “that’s why we tell…the stories…so they know they are belonging to us.”
Now, you’re here because you have a story to be told. Are you getting married? Having a baby? Celebrating a friendship or family? All of these are stories and theses stories tell of your “belongingness”…of your belonging to a larger story…a story that matters…a story that connects you with people you love and want to remember… and to people who love you and want to remember you.
Your story matters. And I so love a good story. That’s what this site is about.
