Grace is the perfect name for this beautiful young bride-to-be. She radiates peace, humility and security in her Father's arms. Grace and her intended (my cousin Will) look forward to being sent out together into the missionary field, where God will surely use this ambassador:

But no matter how far away from Texas she may go, Grace will always be a country girl at heart.

This portrait session also led me to cross paths with several generous people who help keep East Columbia not only a historic treasure but a marvelous place to live. Thank you Rev. Jim Gentner (Bethel Presbyterian Church), Beth Griggs (Underwood House) and Bonnie Maynard for your warm hospitality. We truly hated to leave!

Grace and Will, I wish you all the best and look forward to the countless miracles you'll be a part of throughout your marriage.

Now I commit you to God and to the word of His GRACE,

which can build you up and give you an inheritance

among all those who are sanctified.

Acts 20:32 NIV
