a lil girl's best friend...memories before goodbye

So Jaidyn and her little buddy Gadget (and Momma) spent some time together on a somewhat windy Saturday afternoon in Cheyenne to record some moments and memories as Gadget had been fighting a battle with cancer. It was very sweet to see the love affair between a little girl and her best friend.
We knew that it wouldn't be long before Gadget (lovingly called 'fat-head' by the Momma) wouldn't be around to take the 'walks' Jaidyn loved so much...we just didn't know it would be two very short weeks.

Rest in Peace- Gadget May 1998-April 23, 2010

Looks like Jaidyn is telling Gadget a story:"look Gadget I have it all figured out..."

It is LOVE!

"come on Gadget one last run!" says Jaidyn

In the end it is all about the journey "home"... like Gadget I hope I have a faithful friend....someone who loves me to lead the way... someone who will hold my hand and make it all okay...

Run and play Gadget...run and play!

My Jack-man is 5 months old!

Jack may be 5 months now.. but these were taken well over a month ago as we got ready to celebrate his mom's 30th (shh don't tell her we told you) birthday... His dad and him came over to show off their matchy matchy duds... lookin' pretty spiffy eh! Jack is the cute one.. Matt ... well he is Jacks lucky daddy... and these are just a few from our time together...

....Jack has discovered his voice... he started to let me know just what he thought of the big fun flash on my camera... he has this thing for lights...too cute!
....every time the flash went away... he got a lil more upset... doesn't help dad woke him from a nap to play photo shoot...
...these next two I took a few days before the Camo shots... Jack and I got to spend the day together and well he scores a lil extra camera time thanks to a very bias Aunt Liz who just happens to think he might be the cutest lil man to cross her path as of late...

Catches the Eye....

Sometimes I enjoy just a day with my camera in-hand for no reason but to capture what catches the eye... sometimes I love a chance to take pictures just for the JOY of capturing something that tells a story alone... and maybe... JUST maybe the story it tells you is different from the story it tells me...
enjoy that which catches the eye....
(oh and just a reminder... but all photos on this blog are copyrighted to His Renown Photography... you want a copy.. just let me know... but PLEASE play nice... I do!)

Camp Barnabas... Where EVERY child is EXTRAORDINARY!

One summer I was blessed to take some students to an amazing camp for extraordinary children... Camp Barnabas... in Purdy, MO... a week etched in our minds-heart forever.

That for which my heart beats for.....

When I was a Youth Pastor I spent many years traveling across the water to a lil Island called Jamaica... there I met and became friends with... and Auntie Liz to many children... They will forever be upon my heart.

Jack Matthew Jewett... to be!

Back on October 30th my friends Matt and Stacy Jewett gave birth to their first bundle of JOY.. Jack Matthew Jewett.. and is he amazing... but then again Aunt Lizzy is always a lil bias...
Before Jack Made his debut into the world we took some picks of "Jack to Be"... it was a sweet lil moment...
Enjoy!

The Argo's say I DO!!! November 2008

Nothing is better then watching two of your friends connect their lives as one... well okay... maybe there is something a little better... being asked to be a part of that day.
Ross and Kat tied the knot in the beautiful Horseshoe Bay, Texas with just a small gathering of family and friends.
Here is a quick glimpse of what was a sweet few days with great friends!

The Wedding Party...

Ross and Katherine Argo... They are too cute...

We had a great background--- who cares that it was chilly!


What is great is they just kept talking to each other about how "fun" their day had been... and it was!


Ahhhh! THE KISS!!! probably the most important picture of every wedding, I'm always so scared I will miss it!

Kat and Her Daddy (BC) walking down the stone isle.. very sweet moment- reminds me of those 'bride ads' you see

I will say this was my favorite moment of the day, I even had to wipe my eyes and compose myself--- sometimes you get invited into the most special moments.. Thanks GOD!


umm Ross sure knows how to pick em!! naw John and Stewie are GREAT guys!


Some fun with the rings.


I now present to you... Mr. & Mrs. Ross Day Argo... and their Christmas Card pose!
