Our dear family, friends, clients and “fans!”
You have made 2012 the BEST and most FUN year yet for APP.
Paul and I have enjoyed traveling to many different locations around the US and Mexico to document beautiful weddings and engagement sessions!
This has been so much fun, a bonding experience with clients and a wonderful blessing for my business!
It gave us a chance to grow as photographers, business owners, a husband and wife, in friendships and as parents.
I am eager to learn more and become a more efficient business owner, wife, and mother!
I have to say that NONE of this would be possible without you all…
We have such a wonderfully supportive family, loving and trusting clients – who let us work our magic and YOU spread APP’s name to others, my friends and fans who push me to be better, share the most wonderful messages with me, teach me to be very open and share more, and y’all totally fill up my heart.
I am excited, nervous, eager and hopeful for 2013.
We will have a new addition in May, which will throw another bit of craziness into my home-work life, but it will be FUN, rewarding, another learning experience, and fill us with even more love and adoration. 🙂
Life is good, you guys!
God is so wonderfully AWESOME, HE is the reason for all of our gifts, our purpose, our plan, and each little moment that happens; good and bad.
God has been a huge part of this business, my relations with my clients, the growth, and success… to HIM I owe ALL of the GLORY! 🙂
THANK YOU LORD!
Through struggles we learn how to overcome things we never imagined. Through Darkness comes LIGHT. Through mistakes comes lessons.
I want to send a prayer and blessing to all of those who may be in the dark today, who may be struggling, who have a gray cloud looming over them this Christmas day.
May your day be brightened by something, someone, or just have moment of HOPE AND PEACE.
You are special, you are fearfully and wonderfully made, YOU HAVE A PURPOSE!
We are all HIS children and HE created each of us perfectly imperfect – so hold on tight to that.
I am leaving you guys with some beautiful pictures of my family.
I am grateful for Shareen Frater Photography – my precious friend, assistant and a great photographer who put up with my crazy crew!
Thank you Shareen – you have made this year spectacular and helped me deliver to my clients in record time.
I LOVE YOU and I will cherish these – forever!
(DON’T FORGET to watch the slideshow!)
This was a surprise CHRISTMAS EVE PRESENT … I have made these “books” in the past for special occasions, hope you enjoy as much as we did!
GOD IS GREAT!

Shareen killed it. You have the most beautiful family I have ever seen!!
Thanks Kirstie!
Wonderful! And congratulations on your new baby GIRL!!!!!! Merry Christmas!
Thank you – my poor boys will be SURRRRRROUNDED by precious hormonal females. 🙂
Parx looks like such a little girl! Not a toddler anymore! Love the photos! Beautiful!
Thanks MRS. BEAN!!!! Did you see the slideshow???
Your pictures are just WONDERFUL!!! I love reading the updates on your “crazy crew” 🙂 Makes me feel a little better about having a crazy family of my own <3 We too will also be adding to our "crew" (though we just started trying about a month ago)! I am scared to death, but reading your pearls of wisdom makes it seem like everything will be ok 🙂 Congrats on your soon to be baby girl! I am sure she will be just as beautiful as the rest of your family.
Awh thank you so much. I have no wisdom… just learning day by day!
These are amazing! Shareen did a beautiful job and your family is precious. Can’t wait to see your new addition!
Thank you!
Gogeous photos of your gorgeous and super sweet crew! My fave of you two is the one with your backs to one another! I love the colors! Congrats on baby GIRL!!
Arden these pictures are just to die for! The pic that stands out to me the most is the black and white one of you and your son. Mother and son pictures always get me.everytime! I have a 10 year old son and I would kill for a photo like that. It evokes such emotion in me, I just imagine dancing on the dance floor at his wedding and have to give him to someone else. I have daughters too and they are just as special but there is something about a mother and a son that just makes me weak in the knees! Great job Shareen, these are just beautiful!!!!!
You are right, a special bond! He is a doll, so smart and strong willed. thank you!
Wow congrats on your growing family! A[nother] little girl to add to the mix! You have a gorgeous family and equally gorgeous smile!
My four year old son saw Parx and pointed to the screen and said “I love her, she has a flower in her hair… She’s cute”. I have to agree, they are all little cuties.
Pray you have a wonderful New Year xx
Well isn’t that sweet! Thank you so much. 🙂
Stunning – stunning family Arden! So enjoyed all of these images and LOVED your little slideshow. Congrats on your baby girl! What a blessing such a beautiful family!
Why thank you Amy… another beautiful girl, to start saving up for her wedding! 😉 ha

All of the pictures are so beautiful! Ed and I are so proud of you and Paul and delighted about the arrival of our new baby girl! Funny how all the little boys are in New Orleans and all the little girls are in Texas! Pierson will surely have a good understanding of women by the time he grows up! We will see you guys soon and hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
Hugs and Kisses from St. Francisville!
Ed & Lynda
