Jon & Angie...continued

Ok, so last time I didn't say much about the shoot or the couple. Jon & Angie Houston are friends of ours from Hope Group (lhbc.net). We have known them since January, so almost a year now. (wow the time has flown by!) Over the last 10 months we have been so blessed by the friendship and love of Christ that exudes from Jon and Angie. They are one of the sweetest couples I know. Which is one of the reasons why I had such a great time during this shoot. They were so captivated by each other and the life inside Angie that I hardly had to give any direction. It came natural to them. They were sweet..funny..silly..everything you need from a couple to get great pictures.

There's one more thing about them...Jon left for the Army 2 days after this shoot..Thursday, October 24. He will be training through next April-May...and Angie is staying here in College Station. In May, they will move to Germany where Jon will be stationed. Their strength through all of this astounds me. For this reason, I wanted to make sure that I really captured them as they truly are and give them photos that they will cherish forever. Noah Thomas will arrive January 25...Jon will be able to fly in for the birth but has to immediately return to camp. Having a baby on the way myself, I can't imagine Matt and I having the strength to do something like this. However, I know that the Lord has given the Houstons the strength and peace they need to use this as a ministry opportunity and be a light unto the world.

Thank you sweet Jon & Angie for allowing me to be apart of this special time. The photo shoot was a blast and such a blessing. Here are a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoy and hold them dear to your heart.
