Happy World Down Syndrome Day ::: Our Love, Lana

Today in our house the mood is a little lighter.  Our hearts are filled with appreciation and love.  And we’re working hard to showcase the life and love of special people.  3-21 is the day that is dedicated to celebrating people with three copies of the twenty-first chromosome, it’s World Down Syndrome day and we’re proud to present new photo’s of our daughter Lana.

We live a life of unconditional love and determination.

A love so deep that it’s hard to imagine loving any more… a love that goes beyond what we knew before we began this life’s journey with Lana.

Each moment our love gets stronger and stronger.

One of Lana’s favorite things to do is read.  Each night each kid has their own reading time… she insists on picking her own book and reading out loud for all to hear.

She is spirited and passionate about reading.  Her teacher, Mrs. Campbell, often refers to her as an example of good reading inflection.  Love it!

She is our gift and we learn from her every day.  She is playful, funny, loving and very headstrong.  We could not be more proud!  She might not be what some would try to define as “typical”… and that’s how we know that she belongs in this family.  She is our Lana and we love her entirely.  Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

Warm Regards!

 

Young Love ::: World Down Syndrome Day 2012

Tomorrow [3.21.2012] the world will be celebrating and recognizing people that have been diagnosed with an extra chromosome (trisomy 21). They enrich our lives and give us new perspectives everyday.

In honor of World Down Syndrome Day 2012, we would like to reintroduce the lovely Mallory and charming Randall. You might remember them from The Race video that we put together last year. The below video showcase the rest of their date and the “young love” that they share.

Please help spread the word about their purpose in your life [Young Love ::: Down Syndrome Awareness]

“21 March 2012 marks the 7th anniversary of World Down Syndrome Day and for the first time in 2012 this day will be officially observed by the United Nations. Each year the voice of people with Down syndrome, and those who live and work with them, grows louder. But there is still so much more we can do. (Down Syndrome International)

Megan’s Bridal Portraits at NYLO Hotel

If you know me even just a little, you know that I am not a patient women… NOT AT ALL.  Surprises bug, annoy, and even irritate me if I know something is coming. Having to wait for something KILLS ME!  It makes me antsy, nervous, and even angry.

The one thing that I REALLY dislike about bridal portraits is that I have to wait to release the images until after the wedding.

We’ve been so anxious to post these bridal portraits of Megan since her bridal shoot.

Michael and Megan became MR+MRS GIBBON! Now I can share! yay!

We had a great time photographing Megan with the assistance of her wonderful Mom and lovely sister at the NYLO Hotel at Legacy. The experience was truly exceptional. Megan was stunning, as always…


<3 Love <3

 

There were so, SO many photographs that we love that I want to share them ALL! However, I do not want to overwhelm you. CLICK HERE for Megan’s slideshow or click below:

until next time…

mallory+randall | couple with down syndrome

Inspired by our daughters future we set out to find and capture people in the Down Syndrome community doing ordinary to extraordinary things. This year we are in the process of creating videos and portraits of awareness. Hoping to inform and inspire people to love, accept, and respect people of all types.

This month we are excited to share with you Mallory and Randall. They are a sweet and adorable couple that enjoys each others company while doing ordinary things such as go-kart racing.

As you can imagine we had an incredible time zipping around the go-kart track at Itz USA located in Euless, Texas. If you haven’t been their you should definitely check it out. Tons of fun!!

photo blog with mallory+randall will follow shortly.;)

Sarah+Craig | Engaged

He’s shy, she’s not.  He chuckles, she laughs out loud.  

Together they do a great job at balancing each other out and enjoying their time together.  We had the pleasure of getting to know Sarah and Craig over a nice stroll through the park in Keller, Texas.

Usually we share slideshows at the end of our blog post, but we just can’t help to share it now.

It was great to have Marley and Izzy join us for part of the session. They kept us all on our toes and entertained.;)

While at the park they pitched a blanket and opened a bottle a wine.

Then it was time to break out the red heals and get creative.


This is one of my favorite moments.

Love <3
