Linda had contacted me back in January to see if I was available to photograph Dave’s(Grampy’s) 79th birthday celebration.  I love that she wanted to capture this special time with her family.  By the end of the session I had everyone’s name down with the exception of a couple.  Pretty good if I do say so my self…..and it doesn’t count that I knew a few to begin with.  They are a fun bunch, all about family and having fun together.

Linda, I am so honored that you chose me to capture your special celebration.  It was a pleasure getting to know your family.

Dave and Linda…..aren’t they a sweet couple.

The whole crew.  Happy Birthday Dave!

Loved my senior session with Kaitlyn, a St. Mark’s Senior that is heading off to Clemson this fall.  Such a sweet and bright girl who happens to be simply GORGEOUS!  Kaitlyn has been a St. Mark’s Cheerleader for the last four years and the Spartans were crowned State Champions this year, a five year winning streak for the Spartans.  Way to go!  I love to hear of young people volunteering their time.  Kaitlyn volunteer’s for the Blue and Gold Club as well as the Special Olympics.  She has a great future in front of her! We had a fun day hitting a few of my favorite spots.  Thanks Wendy for assisting.  It was so nice to get to know you and Kaitlyn and I look forward to working with your family this summer.

Have been enjoying my recent sessions….more head shots for a good friend and fellow photographer Elissa Pompeii.  She is updating her website elissasphotography.com Just love her!  How beautiful is she and don’t even get me started on those eyes…Stunning!  What a fun session and we even sat down after to chat…..yes about photography and business stuff.  Seems we never tire of it…..guess that means we are loving what we do.

Look at you….gorgeous!

Recently had the pleasure of working with the lovely Kim for some head shots.  It was such a fun session.  She is such a natural and was totally relaxed in front of the camera.  Kim thanks for such an enjoyable session and for being your beautiful, gorgeous self.  xoxo

And my favorite for last, simply beautiful!

Wishing you a Valentine’s Day filled with love.  I plan on spending the day with my sweetheart and then a fun evening with just the four of us.  So glad my girl insisted on a Valentine’s Day session.  I love when they want me to photograph them…..makes it a bit easier.  Love my family beyond words.  Enjoy your Valentine’s Day.  Make sure that special someone knows how much you really do love them.  

Another AMAZING Reach Radio Concert featuring the talented guys from Me In Motion.  Unfortunately we arrived a little late from my daughter’s gymnastics competition so we didn’t have the opportunity to meet the band.  But we are huge fans!  One of my many favorite songs is  Yes We Can.  You will often find the kids and myself rocking’ out to this song in the car.  The concert was a great experience, such energy and such a wonderful testimony from these young guys that have chosen to glorify Jesus Christ through their music.

Pastor Hare founder of Reach Radio has found a way to reach out to so many through his Street Reach approach.  Offering free concerts like this, to many who would never have the opportunity to have this experience.  Thank you Pastor Hare for your tireless vision.

I love what Seth, the lead vocalist/guitarist said on their website “I always find myself going back to the theme of wanting to make a difference, to live out our faith, even when it might be the hardest thing in the world to do.”  I think I can speak for many here, continue what you are doing because you are truly making a difference.

Okay how amazing is this, just turned on Reach Radio on my computer……guess what song was playing….. yes…..YES WE CAN!  I think this is a sign that you people need to go right now and down this song and a few more from Me In Motion.

Love and Blessings,

Laura
