ephemeral angel...

During my Houston trip,

I had the privilege of meeting baby Kate...

an angel sent on loan from our heavenly father

for a brief moment of time..

to a wonderful mother and father

and doting siblings.

FAMLIES ARE FOREVER.

I received a referral for this wedding

from kaylee (a close friend from ks).

I didn't even know what esther and craig looked like...

until they came out the doors...

luckily roger (kaylee's husband) was there to tell me

to start shooting..

they were a sweet couple to work with.

ENJOY ETERNITY TOGETHER
