August Is “Father’s Pride Month” (And We’re Starting A Little Early)

“Any man can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad.”

– Anne Geddes

A Father is someone special. He works to provide for his family. He toils

all day against great odds to create a life better than the one

he knew as a child. When he is not working, he is attending sports games, plays, school events

and doctors appointments. In the evening when all is quiet and little heads are

asleep, his mind is working.  He is answering questions. Do the kids have the right friends?

Are they learning as quickly as they should? Is the college fund big enough? How can

I contribute more? Am I making their childhood memories great? Am I a good Dad?

A Father invests everything into his family.

He smiles inside when he thinks of you. He smiles and says, “it’ll be

alright” when things seem overwhelming. He cherishes who you are, and the

family that you are together. Moms, you and your babies are his Pride and Joy!

Its time that we do something special for these Fathers.

That’s why I’m making the next 30 days about Dads. Imagine a quiet photograph of you and your

children together. In a sensitive place. Perhaps reading together in bed. A scene that becomes a

memory to him. A memory that makes a Father smile every time he sees it. What if that memory

became frozen in time for him forever? What if that photograph could travel with him

to work? Can you imagine the joy that it would bring him every time he looked at it?

I’m not talking about a wallet. I’m talking about something more special than that. This new

idea will be something that he can take to work and on the road, so the family he loves

so much can be near him each and everyday.

If you have a very special Father in mind after reading this, then pick up the phone and

call me at (806) 371-9210. I’ll share with you all of the details of how we can

create a beautiful photograph that will travel with him where ever he goes.

If you call me just to chat about this idea before August 20th, and if you decide to create

one of these photographs, I’ll take 50% off the creation

of the portrait and 20% off of your portrait order. Lets give Dad his Pride and Joy!

I Wrote This Poem This Morning

As the water softly laps on the sand
I reach for your heart as I reach for your hand

The beauty of summer reaches it’s height
I think of our first date, that wonderful night

A few years down the road we’re still side by side
You’d stand next to me and become my bride

The little ones who play by the water’s edge below
Remind me of what we said then and what we now know

Life is our story, we’ll write this Legacy
You, me our children, Our Perfect Family

Photograph of the Day

Meet Drew and Dru. They are a fun couple that I got to photograph earlier in the summer. We spent two different days creating a series of portraits that would document their engagement. It was a total blast! They are getting married later this year, so be sure to leave them some well wishes!

Congratulations David + Ashley On Their Amarillo Wedding

Just finished David and Ashley’s wedding-what a beautiful wedding! They are the most in
love couple! The ceremony was so beautiful and gentle-only family attended. I felt honored to be there.
They Meyer’s home was the perfect quiet location. Tony, the minister, did such
a great job that his words brought tears to almost everyone’s eyes (Yes, even me)! This is one couple
that has found something very special in each other. Congratulations you two!
