Juday Family

I love this family!! They have so much fun together and always are there for each other.  I see the love that they bring when supporting one another.  Amy and Nick have a son Braden who is 6 years old.

I met Amy through working at a dentist office together.  I was the receptionist and she was the doctor's assistant.  We teamed up very well together even though we did 2 very different things in that office.  We bonded more with Amy (and others) more than I could with anyone else by going on a mission trip together to the Dominican Republic where we assisted our dentists in pulling out teeth for people in need.

I say that I bonded with her in a different way than I could with others because when you go through an experience like we did together, it changes you.  We saw things in a different light and we did it together.  Those memories will always last and our bond will always be there.

You can see the light that she shines when with her family most though.  She was made to be a loving mother and a great supporting wife.  Here are my favorites from our adventure at Salomon Farms.















   








Amy, you are a great person and you have an amazing family.  I love the time we spend together and I don't want that to ever go away.  Nick and Braden were amazing during the shoot as well and I want to thank you for letting me be a part of your family's pictures.

Wilfred & Meagan E-Session

Now this is one photoshoot that I was super excited to be a part of.  I was very honored and proud when Meagan and Willie asked me to take their engagement pictures.  You see, they have been together for 3 years now so you can imagine how happy we all were when they announced that they were finally getting married.

I grew up with both of them.  Meagan and I have been friends since we were 9 years old.  We've been through a lot together and if you can imagine...we have never gotten into a fight in our friendship.  We have a strong bond that will never go away.  Willie came a little later as we were in the same youth group at church in high school.  Always going to the same events, we got to know each other better.

It wasn't until the summer of 2010 when we were all back in Van Wert after graduating college that their relationship started.  Meagan and I were leading up a bible study at church and I invited Willie to come one night.  We usually would get ice cream afterwards and hang out at Rocky Top all together  but it wasn't until recently that I learned that Meagan and Willie would stay later together after everyone else left.

Meagan held off on making it official with Willie until he took her on a "real date" but once that happened, she kissed him the next day and they were official.  This is one relationship that I really look up to.  They have such a Godly foundation and have remained pure through 3 years of happy times.  They are so happy together and I loved seeing them interact together on our shoot.  I would catch Megs looking at Willie alot with this glowing smile on her and Willie would tease her and flirt with her throughout the day.

Here are some of my favorites and there were a lot!!
