Twelve


"Just wait until you've been married six years."

Some friends of our, who had been married for six years at that time, told us that. They had just commented on the fact that we were acting like newly weds and asked how long we had been married. We told them that we had been married for just a little over three years. That's when they uttered the pronouncement that by the time we had been married for six years, our days of acting like newly weds would be long gone.

Well, we have now been married for six years times two, and we are still acting like newly weds! Perhaps our friends' dire prophecy of the end of our newly wed phase subconsciously motivated us to prove them wrong. We have been married 12 years, and people still comment on how much we act like newly weds. Our kids are so used to it that they don't even bat an eye to walk in and see us making out in the kitchen!

I am so thankful to married to the most amazing woman in the world. Sherrie has blessed and enriched my life in more ways than I could ever name. I am a better man for her influence. I love her with all my heart! I feel such love, respect, and affection from her.

Twelve years ago we joined our lives and our hearts and became one. Unity is the hallmark of our relationship. People throw about phrases like, "you complete me." In my case, however, it is really true. Sherrie really has made me whole and complete.

Thank you for twelve great years, Sherrie! I am so excited to spend the rest of eternity with you!

I suppose we should congratulate ourselves on making it twice as far as that apparently critical six year point; let's go make out!

Baby Callum


What a joy it is to photograph such a sweet little baby that has just come into the world. There is such an amazing spirit that surrounds them. This little guy was super calm and patient with me. His big sisters love him so much. It was fun to see how they cared for him and tried to make sure he was comfy and cozy.

Thank you for the opportunity to photograph such an important addition to your fabulous family.
