Jonathan & Addison | Longview, Texas | 6.30.18

We were already friends. But then they agreed to join our Vacation Bible School music team one year, and that sealed the deal. 😉 (Mom's VBS music team is next level kind of friendship. Weeks of painstaking preparation... leading up to one grueling week of jumping and shouting and singing... well, I digress.)

Fast forward a few years, and we're photographing Jonathan and Addison on a warm summer's evening. Why? Because, they're getting married!

There's always something extra-special about those last few minutes of light before the sun sinks behind the trees.  These next images are some of our favorites.

Longview, Texas | Kaleb | Spring Hill Senior | 6.2.18

We blinked, and Kaleb went from being a middle schooler in youth group, to this grown up high school senior. 

Kaleb, congratulations on your high school graduation!  We're excited for all that's in store for you in this new season of life!

Longview, Texas | Arden Rose's Puppy "Paw-ty" | 3.19.17

We are honored and excited to see our photos of Arden Rose's Puppy "Paw-ty" featured on Kara's Party Ideas!  Kristal's creativity practically sparkled in the delightful mix of puppies and sprinkles and bright colors.  The party was for a 3-year-old... but I know plenty of 23-year-olds (or 43-year-olds) who would jump at the chance to celebrate with such a shindig! 

Oh, as you scroll through the photos... take extra notice of the name tags adorning the stuffed pups.  You will be amused. 

If you're looking for an extraordinary kind of cake - talk to Jennifer over at Calavera Cakery.  Not only did she make Arden Rose's birthday cake taste delicious, but HELLO!  She made a sweet little Millie to sit at attention on top! 

AR's grandparents - Mr. Steve & Mrs. Deadre - have a backyard that can easily be described as an East Texas oasis.  Lush green grass and blooms everywhere ... it is a perfect place to party.  Also, Arden's super-cute party duds?  From the skirt to the bows - that's all Mrs. Deadre! 

Sprinkles and sugar and puppies, everywhere!  When Doug announced, "Who wants cake!?" ... a swarm of munchkins arrived at the table, enthralled with the cake-cutting process, anxiously awaiting a colorful slice for themselves. (Plenty of adults were lined up at the dessert table, too!)

 

We love you, Arden Rose!  Time spent with you (and now with Sybbie, too!) is always worth celebrating!

Auntie Kay & Jill 😘
