Dad's Bible for this young man

April 21, 2023  •  Leave a Comment
I met with this young man who has his dad's children's Bible--which is almost as big as his cute self... The story goes that when mom was young, she had the SAME Bible!?! And when they discovered this, you know, they were destined to be together.:) Ok, so maybe the story didn't go exactly like that, but how beautiful, God's plan? Congratul...

Oh my what a change in weather this weekend! There was a small break in the storms, so this young man got up early and we spent some time praying. This rosary holds special meaning. Love. And can we just talk about those dimples? Love him! And...love capturing this time with these young people doing the things they love. Thank you mr O...

third daughter in this family

April 16, 2023  •  Leave a Comment
I was super humbled by this family's request to capture their daughter's FHC. Loved how reverent this young lady is. And those eyelashes! Can't tell at all her dad is a deacon--she is just so comfortable being in God's house. I've been honored to photograph 2 of her sisters--and can't wait for little brother...if only time could stand still for a...

Connecting with a family for daughter's FHC

April 16, 2023  •  Leave a Comment
I sure do love connecting with a family I haven't seen in a while. Because I've been all over the Archdiocese--often covering Masses at different churches on Sunday--I haven't always been at our parish. Especially to see this young lady so sweet and serious about her faith. She made this beautiful rosary with mom. LOVE! And big sister jumpe...

We decided to try to recreate a photo that her mom had from her wedding day...I didn't actually SEE the photo, but nevertheless, praying through Our Lady is always perfect. And o...

Semper Fidelis Lance Corporal Gabriel Puchalla

March 28, 2023  •  Leave a Comment
Not really able to form words about this day. I did not know this young Marine. But being married to a Marine, I know what he stood for. Being a mom, my heart hurts. I pray these images comfort this family in their worst/best day as they lose their brother here on earth so he can be with Jesus. Semper Fi.

This faithful young couple asked me to photograph their wedding. And you know. I don't photograph weddings. Smile. And so after praying, of course I said yes! Can you see their and commitment to each other? So beautiful! It may have been chilly, but their love warmed us up...I just love seeing their radiant smiles. Aren't they so cute? And let...
