Portraits: Herb

Who said a photoshoot should only be done once? Nahh, that doesn’t apply to Herb. Once is never enough, twice is no way too much. The same is true for ice cream, or shoes, or bags, or … err, ok, I’m digressing. Anyway, here are the photos from the recent session we had with Herb. Enjoy!

Engagement: Bel and Jon

Bel and Jon defied the norms of falling of in love — they did it the long, but sure, way. Theirs was not a sudden desire to jump into a relationship, to try and see how it’ll go, and just throw all cares to the wind. They founded their love on true friendship, real perspectives of themselves (not just best foot forward), and in such a deep faith and gratitude to God. So when Joyce asked me to co-shoot their engagement photos, I did not hesitate jumping on the next available flight to meet this beautiful couple.


We were up early to catch the sunrise, and it sure did not disappoint.

Try and see if you can spot Bel and Jon in this photo.

Then off we went to Jekyll Island in Georgia, which is an hour-long drive from where they live. After long months of harsh winter, Minnesota style, this sight made made me sigh and stare in quiet awe.

Bel and Jon, I pray with you in your commitment to loving and living as one. You’ve shown me how it is still possible to believe, have faith, and wait, and the best will sure follow. It was a very short meet, but thank you for letting me in to your life and story.

Florida, thanks for the beautiful memories…

Portraits: Herb

It snowed the day before the shoot, but that did not dampen our spirits, nor Herb’s. It was freezing cold outside, but Herb’s smile and gentle ways warmed us up in no time. We were beyond glad that we spent Saturday morning with one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. Hopefully, it won’t be the last.
