Good morning!  It’s a beautiful start to a new week.  The streets are damp, the air is cool, and humidity is lingering.  A nice change for Colorado. :-)

I wanted to share with you something I don’t get to photography too often: an anniversary party.

Barb and Stub just celebrated 50 years of marriage.  You may recognize them from their son and daughter-in-law’s wedding: Mike and Tracey. It was a quaint get-together with so many of their family and friends.  The amount of relationships one can accumulate over 50 years is heartwarming.

When I asked Barb and Stub what the secret was to 50 years, they both giggled and responded similarly: “You just do it.  You don’t quit.  And you get through things together.”

I believe this image symbolizes the love, patience, and dedication they share that has led them through 50 years.

To the Freer family: thank you for trusting me with so many moments in your family’s legacy.  You will always have a special spot in my heart. Barb and Stub, I know the trials you’ve dealt with over the years and you are a true inspiration to me.

With love,
René
