Congratulations Derrick and Leiah!!

About one month ago I was asked to do something extremely cool! I was hired to cover a birthday party for Derrick, but it was all just a cover so he could surprise Leiah with a proposal later that night! Derrick (Uncle to the adorable Forrest you see in the cowboy hat and belt buckle on my website) had put together a DVD of lots of photos of his childhood and his relationship with Leiah. At the end was a series of new photos where he posed with different signs popping the question. Here are a couple of shots from the surprise moment. It was such a joy to be included. I was so nervous all night that I was going to slip and say something, or that Leiah would wonder why I had a camera trained on her face the whole time they were watching the DVD! And of course, I cried.

Let me tell you, if any of you guys out there want to hire me to cover your proposal I would be thrilled. This was one of the sweetest things I have ever been asked to do and I will never forget it.
