A tree is known by its fruit.

Theodore M. Hesburgh said, "The most important thing that a father can do for his children is to love their mother." Meet the Smith family. Jerrod not only lives up to the above quote but he far exceeds it because he puts God first which empowers him to love his wife and children from a pure place. Kristen is the perfect picture of a wife who is the crown of her husband she's supportive, encouraging and nurturing. Their children were amazing during this photo shoot. I often say that you can tell a lot about parents by observing the character and conduct of their children. Based off the fruit of their offspring I'd say that Jerrod and Kristen are good trees who serve a great God.

Peace and Love

My college room mate is now a famous fashion designer. Her husband is an actor and model. I remember the excitement I felt one year as I watched the Super Bowl and saw one of his commercials air. It's amazing to me how God pairs people whose gifts work in perfect harmony with one another. How convenient that she designs and he models?

It was pretty ironic that during this photo session Ali stated it was hard to take pictures with his wife because he's use to being photographed for work. You could tell that she makes him nervous (in a way that one acts when they have a crush) and he intimidates her (in a "he's a professional" sort of way.) Dionne's famous greeting is "Peace and Love" and that's exactly what I see when I look at this couple.

Double Blessings

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.
Psalm 127:3

These two little guys are so precious that I dare not tell their story, I'll let the pictures speak for them. Enjoy!

Once upon a time...
