KENNEDY FAMILY PORTRAITS// PURPLE! I LOVE PURPLE!

Am I really that old that I have known my friends for 10 years or around 10 years?  LOL… Well, I guess I am… Time is definitely something you can't get back or buy back.  Well, yes, Meiyen is one of our friends that we have known for years now.  The friendship began when Meiyen and my wife sang together in one of our church's band.  They loved it passionately… they harmonized to hundreds of songs together until my wife was pregnant with our first child and had to say goodbye.  But, their friendship continued.  I remember one funny story when my wife nervously told Meiyen one day that she's scared of hugging her because she hugs so tight that it really hurt.  LOL Meiyen has always worked out and has always been into fitness, so she was a lot stronger than she thought!   That's a funny story, but I loved how they have an honest friendship with one another.  When we all got married, started having kids, life got busy and there are less time for friends; however, it's funny how with good friends, no matter how long it's been, you just pick it right back up as if there weren't months in between.  They have a precious daughter named Bridgett… This girl as you'll see is just gorgeous.  And let me tell you… she's daddy's little girl!  Daniel loves her dearly and she can't help but love him back.  They have really grown to be a loving family, and I'm so happy to see them happy!  Daniel & Meiyen, thanks so much for a great time at the park, and may these pictures be looked at over and over for years to come.

HAYMAN FAMILY PORTRAITS// DOWNTOWN DULUTH

My wife and I go way back with Natalie!  I remember "growing up" together during the young adult phase of our lives.  The good ol' days, eh? Since then, we have loved her and how she has always stayed so faithful no matter what.  I remember visiting her when her precious baby girl, Lily, was born… Love, love, love visiting newborns, and just like her mama, Lily was beautiful.  I cannot believe how much she has grown already… our kids are growing just a bit too fast!  When Natalie asked us to take her family photos, we were so stoked and honored that she would ask.  Her parents joined, and I was even more excited!  We've been knowing her parents for years as well, and I know that they are such proud grandparents!  One of the coolest I've seen too.  ;)  Natalie, it was so much fun spending some time with you guys and capturing special moments in these pics.  Unchong and I love you and Lily SO MUCH!
