Jacob is one blessed baby. His parents, Carita and Dennis, are two of the most wonderful people I have ever met. I know that they prayed so much for this little boy and I’m so excited that their prayers have been answered! I met Carita when I was a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin. She was my small group leader/mentor/mom away from home! She diligently led a group of girls, myself included, in a weekly bible study through and met up with us one on one consistently. I remember her inviting us to her house for dinner, praying for us, and just checking in to see if everything was okay. I loved having her around as a leader and learning so much from her! Carita is actually the reason I pursued wedding photography as my career! At one of our meetings, she asked me what I would do if I could do anything in the world. For some reason, and I honestly can’t remember why, I told her that I thought wedding photography would be a really interesting career to pursue. Thanks to Carita’s popularity (her loving personality means that she knows a lot of people…and everyone adores her), she was able to get me in contact with a wedding photographer who willingly took me under her wing. Ever since that first wedding I shot with Gia of Red Fly Photography, I knew I was hooked. And I haven’t stopped shooting since! But enough about me…back to Carita, Dennis, and Jacob!
Thank you, Carita and Dennis, for allowing me to photograph your son! I could not be happier for your family and I hope you enjoy these photos!
I had no idea that Carita was the one who first got you into wedding photography! What a great story and gorgeous pictures, and what an amazing set of parents Dennis and Carita will be!
