bryan-college station photographer | it’s love | Ben and Donna Stuart

oh the stuarts… what to say? well, this is my old friend donna (she isn’t old, we are just old friends:)) donna and i have been friends since college – little did we know we would be settled into our adulthood in the same town!  when we decided to move to bryan/college station we had no idea that donna and her love were here- it has been such a thing to have a familiar face and heart in a new place.  Ben, donna’s husband teaches at a college bible study called Breakaway here on the Texas A & M campus- he teaches thousands of students each week- what a cool ministry.  Donna leads worship and heads up a cool conference every year called masterpiece for college women – they are working hard to equip the college students with the truth & hearts that will live in freedom.

Ben & Donna were both in need of some  promo shots… so they commissioned me for the task- we had a blast running around and looking for really great spots that really did justice to their hearts.  there were a ton more that i loved, but i just thought i would share a few (who knows where you will see their final pics)

*** on a side note- i have to tell a funny story about one of mine and donna’s first shoots together, mind you- this was 10 years ago. (we’ve been doing this for a long time)

we were out in a random field shooting & i had two shirts.  a white one. and a sweater with rich earth tones (loove earth tones… especially then) – but, it was striped. as i put it on, over my white shirt donna looks at me and says (without any kind of “i should deliver this nicely” in her voice) “ooh, i do NOT do stripes.”  the thought of it now makes me laugh out loud!  but at the time i thought “well, that’s just fine, YOU don’t have to! I DO. take my stinkin’ picture!”  as we were shooting ten years later, donna realized she HAD ON STRIPES. it was so perfect.  this was the moment the story was relived… perfection.  absolute perfection.  in case you are wondering what donna looks like when she is 150% cracking up- this is it.  nice stripes d.

love you- & am so thankful for you and ben in our lives.

Two of the most intentional people I have ever known. I love the Stuarts and I love these pictures. They are beautiful(the people and the pictures).

its beautiful to see how the Lord has grown this amazing gift in you throughout all of these years and see you use it to bless others and stir something creatively inside their hearts.
