Curt & Lauren

Katie's sweet cousin, Lauren, is getting married to an incredible young man, Curt, this December. They have got to be one of the cutest couples we've ever seen, and so taking good pictures of them was so simple--you really can't go wrong! Their relationship is so sweet, too--it's so encouraging to see them honor and glorify the Lord with the way they relate to one another.

This was our first real photo shoot, and it was so much fun! Taking pictures of people who you're comfortable with and who love you is so easy! We had the camera on the wrong settings, and so our depth of field (how much is in focus) was REALLY small--that explains the blurriness of the photos, but like I said, it's hard to go wrong with such an adorable couple!

I'm pretty sure they didn't know I was taking these . . .

Lauren is such a doll--it's astonishing to me

that the older people in our family get us mixed up!

You can just SEE how much they love each other! <3

This pose was actaully Curt's idea, and what a great idea it was! I love this photo!

Platt Family Reunion

Each June Katie's family attends the Platt Family Reunion in Crockett, TX. (Katie's great-grandmother was a Platt) We look forward to this time each year as a great opportunity to catch up with our family and to have fun! We're so blessed that we get along so well with our extended family and always have such a great time.

We spent most of our camera battery (we forgot our extras) on taking pictures of our cousin & her fiance (next blog!) and so there aren't too many of anyone else:
