Legacy of Love

bryan skeen — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 01:26:40 +0000

My grandmother had been 17 only two weeks the day she married my grandfather --just a couple of kids in my eyes. As history continued to roll on, they built their lives together, and continue to do so 63 years later.

Their love is as strong now as it was back then, and stands as a familial reminder of something everlasting.

Family History

These are my Grandparents, and they have been married over 60 years.
More to come from this shoot of a family legacy.

What Winter is Supposed to Look Like

Living in Texas, we don't see a lot of snow. In fact, today (almost 1 month into winter) it is 65 degrees outside. It is supposed to be 68 tomorrow, with 104 soon in sight. That being said, snow is a big deal to us. And although we knew it would not last forever, it was fun while it lasted.

New Year = New Office

It wasn't until after the New Year that we realized how poorly our guest bedroom furniture matched the lovely wood panelling in the back room. Our only option was to strip the room bare, and start over completely.

So with a new year and a new workspace, we are looking forward to what 2010 has to offer.

The Welch Family

When people ask why Kendi and I don't have kids yet, we will show them this photo of my nephews:

Oh the pressure of trying to have kids as beautiful and as precious as those two.

Kyla, my wife's sister, and her husband Robert needed new family pictures and we came to the rescue. The morning that we decided to shoot was much too cold and dreary but we waited around long enough for the sun to come out. We were so glad that we did. There might not be anything better than a crisp winter afternoon, fall leaves and sunshine. Add two sweet boys to that and you've got yourself a great afternoon.

Thanks for the fun afternoon! We hope you find some you love.

Molly E.

Who: Molly E.

Where: Lubbock, Texas

We met up with Molly on an early Sunday morning for her shoot. The weather was absolutely perfect -- especially for Lubbock where it could hail one minute and be warm and sunny the next. We couldn't have asked for a prettier morning or a prettier model. We hope you find some you like.

Our small but deserving tribute to Lubbock's own Buddy Holly.

The Hegener Family

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of shooting Spence, Sara and Gracie Hegener at their family ranch in Mountain Home, TX. Not only did we get to shoot this sweet family of three, but a few deer snuck in the shoot as well. Lucky for the deer we only had our camera's to shoot with and not our guns.

Here comes the wildlife. I'm pretty sure we heard a sigh of relief when we whipped out camera and re-loaded with a memory card.

Adam and Aimee

bryan skeen — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:00:29 +0000

Adam and Aimee have one of the sweetest stories I've ever heard. And it all started with books, fire and a song. A few summers back, Aimee, a second grade teacher, had volunteered at a library, spending her summer off reading to kids. Adam, a firefighter, was fatefully volunteering at the library and saw Aimee (and her fiery red hair) and knew that she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. Too shy to say anything, he asked the librarian about her. Luckily, the librarian was her cousin. "Taken," she said and Adam shook his head knowing that he must wait. A year went by and Aimee had no idea she had an admirer. Until one fateful summer day, she began reading to children again at the library. When Adam saw Aimee again, he asked the same question to the librarian, hoping for a different answer. As luck would have it, she answered "single." Adam got up the nerves and asked a co-worker to ask Aimee on a date for him. Luckily, she said yes.

Two summers passed by until Adam decided to ask one more question. One night, with no librairian or co-worker in sight, he sang Aimee a sweet song and asked for her hand. Luckily, she said yes. The two were married this past summer in a ceremony that was as sweet as them. They now live happily ever after with their son -- a dog named Rocky in Lubbock where books, fire and songs are still very much apart of their happy little lives.
