Laurie Heath Studio: Wonderfully Made

These lovely ladies met me in downtown Lake Jackson a few days ago for an end-of-summer, off-to-college session. Gaze upon the beauties known as Cassie, Jamie, Cat and Amanda:


Jamie's mom wanted to have these photos taken before Cassie heads to Huntsville, Amanda returns to San Marcos, and Cat flies off to Vancouver, British Columbia. Their bonds of friendship are certainly strong enough to endure even this much distance.

We probably should have warned The Local that we were headed for their front porch since we sort of stopped traffic for a few minutes.

It was quieter over at the old Lake Theater, which gave us ample opportunity to kick up our heels.

Doesn't this look like the most epic group jump ever?

From the front it looked a bit more like this. Hey, I was impressed they were even willing to jump at all in the heat!

We were working our way down to Cafe Annice when this fellow caught my eye. He made a splendid addition to the group!

After resting and giggling and singing on the bench in front of the Uncommon Market ...

... it was time to head out into the wild blue yonder, courtesy of Cassie's convertible. I wonder whether all of the downtown business folks enjoyed listening to Boston as much as we did?

Anyone who spends time with Jamie falls in love with her, but Cat, Amanda and Cassie are especially fond of her. I'd say that four lives have been changed by the time they've spent together. May you continue to inspire and encourage one another, ladies, no matter how far apart your paths may lead!

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,

for He who promised is faithful.

And let us consider how we may spur one another on

toward love and good deeds.

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing,

but let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
