Beautiful Joni Prudentino, my Filipino friend

Joni and her family are national missionaries in Batangas City in the Philippines. Since 18-year-old Joni is currently attending Bible college in the U.S., she will be away from her family for four years!

Joni's mom, Ella, is my best Filipino friend; and I wanted to do something special for her since this will be her first Mother's Day away from Joni. Joni recently spent the night at my house, and we did a quick photo shoot the following day for the express purpose of my sending an 8x10 to her mom for Mother's Day. I'm so excited for Ella to receive the pic in the mail! I only wish Joni's three beautiful sisters could have been here for me to photograph as well!

HELLO, SPRING!

KEITH

Keith and I used to be co-workers when he was formerly on staff at our church. This was a nice addition to my photography portfolio since not too many men are dying to endure a photo shoot. As you can see, there was lots of variety in this session.

MUNOZ' 50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY VOW RENEWAL

I actually had never met these folks, but connected with them because I am the secretary to my pastor, who was asked to do their vow renewal ceremony.  This was a surprise to them from their children! It was too sweet, and I enjoyed capturing their memories.

JON'S SENIOR SHOOT (sneak peek)

onsidering the fact that I've known Jon since he was barely a year old, I'm feeling a little old today after shooting his SENIOR photos!... but honored to have been chosen nonetheless.

BLAKE ELIZABETH (6 weeks)

Blake is my friend, Sara's, baby. She's the first grandchild of my dear friends, Wayne & Susie. They couldn't have ordered a more perfect one, could they?
