Kathy + Bill Engaged!

As most of you know, my sister Kathy is ENGAGED! It's such an exciting time in her life and I am so proud to be able to share in everything leading up to her big day!

If you haven't visted her blog ... you really should It's my way of documenting her "journey to the big day".

Anyway- on our list of "things to accomplish by August 2008, we had "engagement pictures" down because she wanted to have them taken while there were still nice pretty flowers blooming.

Check. .. and Check! Name a time and place and I will be there!

Friday night was the time and Shadyside Park was THE place!

Kathy + Bill followed me to Anderson on the Harley. We both got stopped at a stoplight and I took full advantage of the opportunity by snapping this shot out of my side mirror. HEHEHE





As you all know, I have a very odd obsession with Silhouette pictures. I don't know why, but I do. Luckily, we were just in time for at least 1 silhouette ... which made me very very happy.





Before I go any further....

Meet Kathy - my sister, mother of my two beautiful neices and soon-to-be step mommy to my soon-to-be-nephew Gavin. (did you get all of that?) Kathy and I share the same biological father and as life would have it ... she and I didn't meet until I was about 11 years old. Interesting story.

Anyway- as if you didn't know ... she's going to be the most beautiful bride EVER.




Now meet Bill... my soon-to-be brother-in-law. (OMG SHUT UP! I'm going to have a brother in law!!!) Bill is one of the hardest working men I know; and has such a big desire to provide for his family. He also accepts my sister just the way she is (trashed car and all). For that, I love him!!





Bill was such a good sport throughout our little "session" doing whatever I told him (no, really - he did!) and smiling whole heartedly in every picture.

Seeing them interact together, through the lens of my camera made me have no doubts that he truly loves her with everything he has.

...and that is simply all i could ask for him to do with my sister.



















FAVE ALERT.... FAVE ALERT ...

























As I was taking this picture ... (which i've taken a couple of times before with different couples) ... I realized something.

It takes both people to spell L.O.V.E

Without the other person you either have "LO" or "VE". Neither of which mean anything by themselves.

But together... they mean everything.

Kathy and Bill ... please don't ever forget that it takes both of you to create a home filled with LOVE. May this picture remind you of that... always.





Speaking of LOVE....



It started getting H-O-T behind the lens of my camera!!!



MEOWWWWWW















Remember I mentioned that they drove the Harley to meet me.

We traded the Harley for a Dinocycle :) HEHEHEHEHEH (i just made that up, laugh dang it!)



















THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing this special time with the two of you.

I cannot wait to watch your relationship and love grow in the years ahead.

I can see your unconditional love for one another glowing through your eyes, through the way you touch eachother and the way my heart feels when I'm around you two.

There is nothing that Love can't work out...
