::A Vignette: {A man and his LARGE truck}

     Since it is our two year anniversary, and Marcus loves the big truck, I decided to take the Suburban’s portraits. I got sidetracked here and there but overall the photo-shoot went well. Marcus mainly ignored me as he was busy fixing things on the truck so I did my best to entertain myself :)
Meet what Marcus and I have lovingly dubbed (well maybe not SO lovingly on my part..) The Big Truck!

Marcus informed me that these big ole mirrors are called ‘Dumbo Mirrors.’ To which I replied “That is ADORABBLE”
He then scowled at me and told me not to call his truck adorable.  But, come on! Check out the dumbo mirrors..they ARE cute!


These tires are larger than they appear:

But the same can be said about this guy’s heart :)

And on top of being a youth minister (and that encompasses-youth group, teaching confirmation classes, planning and running retreats, always being a phone call away for his teens, playing praise and worship,  a prayer warrior..just to name a few). This dimpled man volunteers for the Virginia Beach Fire Department in his spare time. That’s hot!!

It’s a LOOOOOOONG way down from the passenger seat (and did you notice my cute shoes?! Thanks mom!)


Other Truck details and Marcus working hard, paying me no mind…

WHOOPS! I must have got sidetracked ;) I don’t remember taking this shot! BUT since it made it in here, we may as well analyze it. My favorite parts of this particular composition are the baby blonde hairs and the dirt smudges.. I barely even notice the muscle! ;)

I think the boredom was setting in…

Happy 2nd Anniversary Marcus!! I love you… I love it when you wink at me (see above!), I love watching you work on your truck, and I almost, a teeeeny tiny bit, love the big truck!  Thanks for putting up with me and I look forwards to photo-journaling many other of your projects!

::Easter 2010:: {A photo-journal}

    Marcus and I took Thomas & Cecilia to the park to take a couple of pictures in the Easter outfits. I should have known it would have been hard to take portraits while they watched all the other kids playing..so we let them change in their play clothes and play too. I did a formal session in their Easter outfits on a later date and just let them enjoy the day :)


PLAY TIME!!!

I LOVE dandelions :)

 
Marcus looooves Cecilia and Thomas… and I love Marcus with Cecilia and Thomas :)

Cecilia tries on Marcus’ sunglasses and gives a two thumbs up!

Uncle Patrick joined us with his kite..

I know this Easter post is being documented way late..on Pentecost actually :) but it was an amazing Easter… He is Risen! Alleluia, Alleluia!!
Blessings,
Laura :)

::Catherine is Graduating:: {Senior Portraits}

      I met Catherine for the first time in a freezing cold cabin during February at Triple R Ranch more than two years ago. I was the small group leader for her cabin and I was scared. (and so cold!) Feeling very intimidated at the idea of facilitating discussion with these girls..who all eyed me with one eyebrow raised… I said a quick prayer. Catherine was my answered prayer!  I will never forget her warmth and open heart as our cabin got to know each other and share faith. So, I’ve kept my eye on her for the past two years. It’s simple- I like her, she’s gorgeous, godly,  and I wanted to take her senior portraits. Enjoy!!
