Today is this guy's birthday, and every year on his birthday, I think--selfishly--how grateful I am that he was born and that we found each other.
Amazing photos by Beth of Beth Fletcher Photography.
Although I was excited to get our pictures taken yesterday, I have to be honest and say that I was even more excited to meet Beth! She was warm, funny, and connected so well with Luke (so much that he kept grabbing her hand instead of mine!). Shane hates photography so much that he's considering becoming Amish just to avoid it, but when he left, he told me that he thought Beth did an excellent job because she didn't make us pose, or turn our heads a certain way, she just let us be us. From my photography hating husband, that's about the highest compliment you can receive, as his usual response is AARGH CAMERAS BLARGH.

Oh gosh- your family is beautiful! And Beth is so talented- she's a pied piper with the kids and puts everyone at ease- you forget you are even getting your picture taken!

Very Cute! I got to your blog through Beth and I have now subscribed. I read through a lot of your old posts and can completely understand where you are coming from.
Wow, what a wonderful compliment paid by your husband! I'm glad he's not going to go amish now.
;)
You guys were wonderful! Amazing! Fantastic! Can we do it again?
What a cute family you have and I love the pictures! Plus you're son has a great name (it also happens to be my youngest son's name!)
WAIT--didn't Shane sponsor the photography club or something when we were in school?!?!
Happy Birthday, Shane! Let the celebration begin!
I see the happiness and joy and love and strength in these photos... just like in the photos of your grandparents. It does take a remarkable photographer to "capture" this life... but it must be there first. I love reading your posts because I can feel and see and hear the love and wonderfully good times leaping off the pages through your beautiful words.
LOVE them! Your little family is so beautiful and happy.
Isn't Beth awesome? I love her so much and her talent is just amazing. I'm so glad you connected so well with her and had such a wonderful time.
