Being a photographer there’s a lot I have to be thankful for. When I first started in this crazy industry I had no clue what type of photographer I wanted to be and here I am years later and still questioning myself from time to time. But there’s one thing for sure I know I need to do. I know I have a need to document love – real love. Beloved portraits are not just typical sessions where I stand you in front of my camera and ask you to ‘say cheese’. We will pose you in such a way that I pull those emotions outand in just a way it shows through in your photos. Norman and Giva made my job so easy though I told them they made my high school senior couples look like pure amateurs compared to them. Their love was so undeniable – I am so thankful I had the chance to experience this type of true love!
Norman wrote this beautiful message on his Facebook page the day after his session. Reading it just reminded me how much more I need to concentrate on documenting real love –
‘After doing a photo shoot yesterday with my wife, it hit me all over again that Giva was, is, will always be the most beautiful woman I know. Her beauty radiates from within her & springs forth to every person she comes in contact with, There is no doubt in my mind that this beauty comes from her love of God because of her daily relationship with God. She has shown me who Jesus is from the first day I met her & I would say if you want to know what a real Christian is like, get to know my incredible wife. She exemplifies the true spirit of who Jesus is & what Jesus taught about life. I love you always & forever Giva & I thank God I was the man who was fortunate to call you my wife.’
Happy 22 years of marriage you two!!!
Please enjoy a few of our favorites!
