in love {Jason & Tania} l Southeastern Michigan Photographer l Kari Dawson

Jason is a long time friend of my husbands and was the best man on our wedding day. He has since moved to Texas where he and his insanely gorgeous wife Tania are raising their two boys together and have devoted all their spare time to some sort of ministry. They each serve in the church that Tania’s father pastors and continue to find new ways to reach out to world to create change. Their hearts are always searching for a way they can serve from the idea of building orphanages to the beginnings of a new ministry devoted to organizing missions trips. Of course we had some family fun but I wanted to share a few of the pair of them together without the kiddos.

Seriously! Tania you are just divinely looking and radiant and gorgeous!

in love l {Kevin n’ Erica Holla!} l Warren, MI Photographer l Kari Dawson

Ah, my lil’ bro Kevin and his lovely wife Erica! Erica is also a local photographer, you can check out her work here. Erica wanted some shots of her and her hubs to adorn the walls of their newly painted and relatively new home and a few headshots for her Web site as well. I swear, I was more nervous to photograph the pair of them than I’ve ever been before. It’s so funny watching my son Tyler who carries on in the family so many of the traits of my little brother. Tyler had stitches three times before he was even three years old for instance. I can’t recall the number of times Kevin has visited the emergency room though for such things as eating baby aspirin, drinking gasoline from a lawnmower, a broken foot because he rode his little round saucer sled off the top of the garage roof, etc… Sorry Kevin but the memories are just priceless :) I can only really recall one pretty embarrassing thing Erica has done but I love her and don’t want her to disown me so I’ll just chuckle a little by myself at the memory. Anyway, on with the images…

My favorite!

This one almost tied for first. I told em’ to think model, think ANTM! Be sassy, be cute. So Erica went on with her bad self and Kevin ignored me. My little Hailey-butt was with us making faces at Uncle Kevin so he made the same face back at her and in perfect timing!
