Girls Just Want to Have Fun! [Sisters: Ali and Aubrey]

A sister is a forever friend.

I've known Ali and Aubrey since they were wee little ones. What a privilege it's been to watch them grow and share in their lives. They're precious girls and not only am I privileged to know them, but I'm also so blessed to call their parents FRIENDS. These young ladies are who they are today, because of their parents. Garth and Amanda - you guys are doing an amazing job with your precious girls! :)

There is something special about SISTERS. If you have a sister, you know what I mean. If you don't, you probably have a friend out there who's LIKE a sister. There is a BOND that is so special - so unique - so needed in this crazy world. I'm reminded of my own SISTER bonds, with my three sisters. What joys we've shared - turmoils we've endured, together - MOMENTS we've been able to make throughout the years - these are memories I hold dear and will never ever forget, nor take for granted. I can't even begin to describe how blessed I am to have a sister, let alone three!

And while Ali and Aubrey are still young, and probably haven't quite figured out just yet, how much they'll appreciate and need each other later in life, I know they'll someday look back on the moments they might not have gotten along so great, and hold tight the special bond they'll ALWAYS share - the bond of sisterhood.

Amanda, thank you for letting me capture the sweet interactions between your girls - they are precious and oh so sweet!

There's a special kind of freedom sisters enjoy. Freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. The freedom to simply be themselves.

Engaged! John + Kara

John and Kara are a special couple. They've been together for nearly 16 years and they're tying the knot in October!

I've been privileged to know the pair since high school and am completely honored that they chose us to capture their special day!

A few weekends ago, we ventured out to Notre Dame for their engagement photos - and what troopers they were! They braved some intense heat, climbed up trees, and simply, had a lot of fun together!

Genuine interaction is simply the best and these two most definitely adore each other and the time they share together.

We are so happy for you both and can't wait until your wedding in October!
