We try to get some photos every year so that we can use them on Christmas cards if need by. We don't always send them out, but we have intentions every year.
It is difficult sometimes, me being the photographer, because others don't know exactly what I've envisioned for the shot.
I think these came out pretty good, and I'm very happy and thankful to have these people in my life.
(Some of the other shots were taken by me...just of Alan playing around and making funny faces.)
John Daniel is shipping out to Afghanistan this week with the Army, and will more than likely be gone for a year. He has known Katie for over three years, and had an epiphany recently...he wanted to ask her something very important. You guessed it...it was THAT question!
He was in town this weekend, just for a few days. All of his family was meeting at a relative's house for The Stew, an annual event that has been going on for decades in their family. He had planned to ask Katie to marry him this weekend, but didn't exactly know how or when.
By the time they arrived at the event, they were an "official" engaged couple and the talk of the town. Katie is such a sweet girl and I don't blame John Daniel for wanting to ask her dad for his daughter's hand in marriage.
I had the privilege of meeting up with them today, a day later, to do a little mini-shoot. What a beautiful day to celebrate such a beautiful, budding relationship.
