Emily had a great time and I was worried that Titus might be too upset since Mom was gone to get any pictures.....but he definitely proved me wrong! He was awesome. You would never know that typically he is on the go ALL the time. He sat perfectly still for several minutes at a time and of course Emily loved getting to see her picture on the screen. When she did get tired, promises of Skittles kept the smiles coming.
We hadn't been home anytime before mom and dad came home. Emily didn't waste anytime asking Mom to come see her pictures....so the surprise was revealed a little early but watching Sara's reaction was incredible. Her happy tears that we had captured her precious kids personality was all I needed.
Here are a few peaks for you....

She LOVES her "buddy." Can't you just see how protective she is?

She wanted to be done until I brought out my pretty skirt. Then she was game for several more and I'm glad she was....

Something happened this time that hasn't happened before. The little guy was doing well and all of the sudden with a few snaps he went from this.....

I love getting to surprise people and this was definitely one that I won't forget. We are so thankful to Phillip and Sara for all the ways they lighten our burden. Not only do they help us with wedding photography but even more they partner with us in ministering to our teens at church. We can't imagine our lives without them! Thanks for all you do!

Oh Sara, I'm crying AGAIN! That makes four times....once at your house, once when putting Titus to bed last night gave me time to think about all you'd done, and again putting Emily to bed last night. It's hopeless. You are an amazing friend and photographer. What a blessed combination!
Anyways, where did you get those kids...those are so NOT the kids I dropped off at your house!
Thanks so much for doing this for Sara. I love her and her family so much...I know this meant ALOT to her.
Adorable pictures!!!!! You are a wonderful friend!
DITTO! You are a wonderful photographer . . . and a wonderful friend . . . a blessed combination for many of us.
ooo..now stop it everyone! I love what I get to do and couldn't ask for better friends that are like family here!
The photos are amazing, Sara! Yes, you are dear friends to Sara & Philip. I must say I envy you, because I DO know what life is like without them ... there is something missing, but that is their choice. So enjoy, and keep counting those blessings. You have blessed countless others with your precious youth ministry, along with your awesome artistic gifts! Thank you!
I love those two little kids. They always brighten up my life when I get to see them. They are growing up so quickly. I havn't seen Titus since he was a lot smaller. I miss you all. Tell Mike hi for me as well as Sara and Philip.
