 The Lord makes firm the steps

though he may stumble, he will not fall,
    for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
Psalm 37:23,24



mercy me.

This is Mercy.

She makes me melt.

That's all.

getting ready for the best day ever.

 I was not supposed to touch my camera.

Nick and Katlyn were adamant.

"You get a disposable and twelve shots.  That's it."

I agreed, knowing their wedding photography was in the best of hands.

I did manage to capture a few images of the early part of the day,

then handed my camera off to a friend who documented some special moments.

I'll share some of those later, but for now,

here are my eleven pictures of the day.

It was the best day ever.

 

Doesn't every bride and groom lie on the floor and eat bananas before they walk down the aisle?

loves me. loves me not.

He loves me.  He loves me not.

Millie style. 

Love her.

No question.

love me some huettes.

This is one of my favorite families on the planet.

We've done a lot of life together.

When I count my blessings...their names are near the top of the list.

While I did capture a few nicely posed family pictures,

there's something about this one that just kinda tells it all.

I love every thing about it.

I love the people even more!

 

 Huette Grandbabies:  Born on three different continents.

Knit together as only God can do.

 These family shots will obsolete soon.

My camera cannot keep up with these people.

 And of course, we had to take some shots of Princess Nicole and her court.

 

Sweet princesses, every one.
They bear the image of their King.

 

I am a princess. All girls are.

Even if they live in tiny old attics.

Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young.

They're still princesses.

All of us.

Didn't your father ever tell you that?

Didn't he?
