CHANG FAMILY PORTRAITS//CHARLOTTE AND FRIENDS;)

Every time I get to meet the Chang's, they're such a pleasure to be around!  We got to meet them for their first photo shoot last year when Charlotte was teeny tiny, then for her 1st year birthday party, which was soooo well planned.  Then, when we got the "call" for this year, we were so happy to hear from them.  We got to see them a couple of times in between those times for various things, and what a great family they are.  Young is a wonderful father/husband who works very hard to provide for his family, Sara is an amazing home maker, mother and wife, and Charlotte does her thing to be the most adorable daughter ever.  Each person does their part into making this family a beautiful family inside and out.  Have you ever heard that "pictures don't lie?"  It's true… Through people's eyes and natural expressions, you can really see… Just look at how happy this fam is.  Young and Sara, we appreciate you guys so much!  Thank you for all your support in our business and for always making it a pleasure to work with you.  We hope to continue to develop a friendship with you and to see you at Yuni's more often.  :)hehe  Actually, we'll be closer to you all soon, so we can't wait to have you over!  Sincere blessings to you...

YEH FAMILY PORTRAITS//FALL IS HERE IN DOWNTOWN DECATUR

These days, every time I see a family with a boy, I can't wonder but how our boy is going to be… We are so close in seeing our son in a couple of months, and I have so many things planned for he and I to do already.  :)  We met them last year, and when Susan & Steven wanted another family session this year, I was so excited to see their boys and to see how they interacted with them.  First of all, their sons grew so much!  Do my kids grow up that much in a year?  Wow… As we started the session off in downtown Decatur, I couldn't help but just fall in love with this family… I love how the boys just have fun with one another and adore their parents.  Their parents of course adore them back (I mean, how could you not?), and watching this family just gives you the thought, "This is the way a family should be…".  Susan & Steven, thank you for coming back to us this year and giving us another great experience!  You guys are just wonderful family!

KRISTEN + DAVID// ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Life is good, but it's even better with good friends... If you follow our blog and fan page, you probably have seen and heard of our friend, David Schumann.  He is a huge asset to our team personally and professionally, and my wife and I are so grateful to have met him and now developing a solid friendship.  When David told us about Kristen, you can imagine how happy we were for him!  As you can see in the pictures, she is just beautiful, but if you meet her, you can see that's she's even more beautiful inside.  We always hear things about her through David, so we had no doubt that this relationship was going to lead to an awesome marriage!  Well, guess what?  It is heading that way!  They got engaged and here we are now sharing some engagement photos from their session.  I've always known that David was a great photographer, but didn't know that he was such a good model too!  Wow!  They're just naturals in front of the camera.... We are so excited about their future.  They both are very goal oriented, passionate, ambitious, talented, gifted, intelligent (there are just not enough adjectives...) young people that they really have a bright future ahead of them.  David is one of the most hardest workers I've ever met.  I love how he just gets things done and NEVER complains.  He's a man of his word, and we honor him for that.  Between David and Kristen, I think my family can gain all the knowledge we need.  Kristen is in the medical field, so anything medical we can ask her... David is a photographer, so duh... we can get all the photos we need from him.  ;)  Not just that, did you guys know that he can cook like no other?  Yes, he's a professional chef... He can literally just throw things in a bowl and it'll taste good.  :)  And, like I mentioned above, I discovered their new gift which is being models, so if we ever need models for any of our photo shoots, I can call them up.  :)  David and Kristen, thank you for being who you are, and our fam is so blessed to have you in our lives!  We wish you ONLY  the best for your future!  With Kristen's amazing taste and style, your wedding is going to be just fabulous, and we cannot wait for it.  9 more months!  WOO HOO!!!!!!
