Kirby and Heather have known each other since they were young, but a move during their childhood put many miles between them.  A couple of years ago their long-distant friendship took on a new look when they began dating across the miles and cherishing any moment they got to spend together.  The miles between their lives will soon come to an end when they get married in January, 2014!

Below you’ll see that Kirby and Heather chose to use the quaint German Village area for their pictures and read what they love about each other…

Kirby, what do you love about Heather?  “I love the excitement she has for us and our future, she is constantly making plans or trying to figure something out that we will need or might want. I love her smile and how it lights up a room. I love how she cares about the little things. I love her spontaneous nature and how she can always make me feel comfortable and confident.”

Heather, tell us what you love about Kirby. “I love his heart for wherever God is calling him to. I love the commitment I know he has for me and the trust we share with each other. He always knows how to brighten my day and make sure I feel loved.”

Beautiful sunlight!

Have you ever seen a braided tree trunk? Pretty cool!

My favorite part of these pictures is seeing Kirby's smile as he watches Heather twirl.

 Jeff and Stephanie’s paths crossed when they were working at the OSU James Cancer Hospital.  Jeff is outgoing, loves interacting with people, is easy going, and yet also driven.  Stephanie is shy, sweet, and caring.  They are looking forward to February, 2014 when they’ll tie the knot!

As always, I love reading what couple have to say they love about each other.  This is what Jeff and Stephanie had to share…

Jeff: “Stephanie is such a caring person.  Her love for God, her family, and me is without a doubt over flowing. She honestly makes me a better man and makes me want to do bigger and better things in life.  I love the way we can worship together and challenge each other to be better.  She knows how to pick me up when I’m down–without her I’m not whole.  I love how she can be relaxed with me and can be such a cute nerd.  I’m glad to be able to marry my best friend and cannot wait to start our lives together.”

Stephanie: “I looove how he always wants to enjoy life, experience new things, his love for God, and how he challenges me to be a better person.  He’s open and super loving and makes me feel so special.  I love that we can laugh together, and when I’m grouchy or sad he finds something to make me laugh about.  He is amazing and is my forever.”

I’ve learned that some guys like being in front of the camera and others simply get their pictures taken because their moms want senior pictures. 🙂  While JB was probably in the latter group, he said he actually enjoyed his session!  That’s what I like to hear!!  JB was totally in his element for his session: country, boots, truck, 4-wheeler…the perfect place for his session where he’s comfortable and enjoys life!

JB, I hope you have a great senior year!  Trust the Lord to lead you on the ride He has ahead for your future!  Blessings.
