Jeremy and I had the opportunity to document Life Centers: 2009 Celebration of Life Banquet.  It was truly amazing...  We were honored to be a part of such a wonderful organization.  They had over 2,000 people in attendance for this year's event with Presidential Candidate, Mike Huckabee, as the keynote speaker.    

The Heritage Christian High School Colla Voce Choir sang throughout the event...

Carmen D'Arcy along with the praise team from Grace Community Church provided the music.

President & CEO of Life Centers, Brian Boone...

Lt. Governor Becky Skillman opened for Mr. Huckabee.  

Mr. Huckabee shared in the final song of the evening.  :)

The money raised that evening exceeded their goal...what a success!

When I think over our past year I'm amazed at how many wonderful people we have had the opportunity to work with.  We are so unbelievably blessed and we appreciate all of you so much.  For us, we truly enjoy getting to know each individual, family, bride, groom, senior, child...the list goes on and on.  If you know me, you know that I am a people person.  I thrive on human connection and love that we have such strong ties with our clients.  We are anxious as we start 2009 and know that again we will be blessed...because of wonderful people like you.  Thank you for an awesome year...we look forward to seeing all of you again and meeting more of you in the future.

Below you will see a slideshow of some of our portrait highlights from 2008 (wedding/engagement will be on a separate post :).  Some of the pictures you have seen on the blog, others I chose because of the moments that were shared during each session...lots of laughter, sometimes tears, happiness...life.  Enjoy!  

I have had the opportunity to meet Matt and Deborah through some mutual friends and I just love them.  They are the sweetest couple and I look forward to getting to know them even better in the future.  They were wanting some pictures for their Christmas cards, so we met one evening after they got off work and made it happen...just before the lovely daylight savings time took over. :)  It was wonderful spending time with you guys and I look forward to doing it again in the future.  

I love this one...

Their one and only child, Leo...  :)

He thinks that footballs taste great...  ;)

I love this one, too...
