Joanne and I are on the Board of Directors for our Fire District, and I am just so glad that she decided to do this session with Jerry, her husband of 60 years. People that know these two know how special it is. Jerry has Alzheimer's, and while it is progressing, this day was a good one. He was alert and present in the moment. It was so great.

We went to a small cabin at Pomona Lake where they had their 50th wedding anniversary celebration, and it was a gorgeous evening. it turned out to be pretty warm for late fall, and the sunset was perfect.

When I sent these to Joanne, she was thrilled. Besides knowing that it had been a good day for Jerry, I don't know if she knew quite what to expect. She said that it was like she was seeing the Jerry from 10 years ago, which of course, is the biggest compliment I could get. 

It will always been one of my favorites.

Marsha won this session from a silent auction to raise money for a hospice foundation near our home.

She and her family couldn't have been nicer and more open to my suggestions for posing and prompts. They played along when I asked them to dance or run toward me through the pretty tunnel at the Capitol Building. And my favorite Ring-Around-The-Rosy. 

The weather was great - just a little windy - and I couldn't have been happier with these.

I have known Logan since we were young, like 10 years old. We went to the same schools until we were teenagers.

Now 25 years later, I am shooting his wedding.

Their ceremony was held at Snyder’s Cabin at Gage Park on one of the windiest days of the year, it feels like. But we managed to make it work. 

Weddings are always emotional, and of course, this was no different.

Heather looked gorgeous. Logan was trying to hold it together as he watched her walk down the aisle, and I think I spent more time watching my old friend watch his bride come to him while most everyone else was watching her. 

He was so happy and so in love. 

They had a beautiful evening with their families and friends.
