Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Valentine's Day is all about love.  Love of spouses, love of sweethearts, love of partners, love of parents, love of teachers, and for children, "love" for other kids in your class.

I have attended many, many weddings and my favorite "love" quote comes from the Bible.  Most specifically 1 Corinthians 13...I know many of you have read it, heard, or maybe even have it memorized, but I believe that it bears repeating.  I'm mixing it up a bit here and using the Message's version:

"...No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

   Love never gives up.
   Love cares more for others than for self.
   Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
   Love doesn't strut,
   Doesn't have a swelled head,
   Doesn't force itself on others,
   Isn't always "me first,"
   Doesn't fly off the handle,
   Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
   Doesn't revel when others grovel,
   Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
   Puts up with anything,
   Trusts God always,
   Always looks for the best,
   Never looks back,
   But keeps going to the end.
   Love never dies."

As a wedding photographer, children's photographer, and family photographer, I have had the opportunity to shoot a lot of images that portray love.  Here are "few" of my favorites (there ended up being "quite" a few!!!):
