It’s no secret that I love photography, but it means even more to me when I get to photograph those that I’m closest to!  This is one of my dearest friends, Stacey and her fiance, Dustin.  Stacey and I have been friends for almost 15 years.  We’ve worked together; we’ve lived together; we’ve gone through life together!  Stacey is probably the most patient person I’ve ever met when it comes to finding that special someone; but, once she found him… she fell head over hills!  Dustin, I just want to tell you again what a special gift you’ve been blessed with.  Stacey is a loving, spunky, happy, and intelligent woman! She serves God and has a heart of gold, always selflessly looking out for the wellbeing of everyone above herself.  I could go on and on and on about how special she is or ramble on with 15 years worth of memories; but, that would make the post WAY too long.

Dustin’s response to their portrait session is exactly why I love photography so much!!!

“You have captured a moment that is now saved in time and shareable to all our friends and family. You are allowing them to see the sheer volume of joy and happiness that we have in one another. Thank you for this amazing gift.”

Ya’ll…. that is what it’s all about for me!  Savoring memories and emotions to share for generations to come!!!!
