Abraham & Rebekah

So the story goes that Rebekah grew up with me in children’s church when I was like four years old. Neither of us remember one another. My parents have spent a lot of time with this couple, and really love them. Rebekah facebooked me one afternoon and asked if I would be wiling to take some pictures of Abraham for an instrumental album that he is currently working on. We both have mutual friends (+my parents) and I got excited to do this for them. He’s a guitarist, and Rebekah, is a teacher. They just recently found out they are expecting a baby! Really beautiful, sweet couple… I really enjoyed this shoot.

They drove from Morganton, NC area. We met a Amélie’s french bakery in Noda, Charlotte.  And then drove down to the small area of Noda where there is so much colour and texture to photograph. I loved it!

I also did some photos of Rebekah…  (she is so lovely!)

I had a great time getting to know them!

Enjoy!

Elysse & Michael Engagement

I’ve known Elysse since she was fourteen and I was seventeen. We met at “TheCall School” in Pasadena, CA. She has carried the most tender heart with such a grace about her for as long as I have known her. Her family is very, very dear to my heart… they’re some of my very favorite people. I’m so excited for her!

I met Michael at a coffee shop where I used to work.  I got to know him better when Elysse started dating him. They are such a perfect match!

Two weeks ago when I was in Kansas City, I took them out to the Longview area. It was a lovely, windy evening. Elysse and Michael are getting married at the Longview Mansion in October, and I’m so excited that I’m going to be shooting their wedding (with the help, of course, of my friend and mentor, Shelley Paulson.)

Aren’t they such beautiful people?
