Hi Charla,

My name is Paige Emmsley, and am interested in your couple photo session giveaway! I have liked your Facebook page, and attached our pictures to this email. And here's our story...

As most young couples, it started in high school... I met Ruben in my junior year, his senior year. We met through mutual friends and sparked up a friendship in February 2008. We talked online and saw each other at a few parties. Eventually we started hanging out at school, and meeting each other in between classes. I didn't know it then, but that would be the beginning to a life-long relationship...

Ruben and I were a simple couple, we could find things like watching One Tree Hill marathons all day enjoyable or playing video games together fun. We liked watching all kinds of movies together and going out to our favorite places to eat. We were inseparable, to say the least. We spent our summer days together, trying to find new things to do to occupy our time. Our relationship grew, as we did, and we continued to enjoy spending time with each other. In December 2009, I found out I was pregnant. Our relationship, and lives, were different from that point on. I knew that it would be a rough road trying to figure out how things were going to be and what would happen once the baby was here-- but the hardest part had to be telling our families. Naturally, no parent would want their child to be in such a tough situation at such a young age, not knowing what would come with the new responsibilities and wondering if they'd be okay. But I had faith in both Ruben and I that we would pull together and be the best parents we could to this beautiful life we created, all by accident. Riley was born in August 2010, and was the most beautiful little girl we had ever laid our eyes on. She was the center of our worlds, and everything we did, we didn't do without first thinking of her.

With us now being a family, and Riley such a huge part of our lives, it would be awesome to look back at family pictures that we have so few of already. I think a great place to take pictures would be at Heritage Park, the first park we took Riley to. With lots of fun flowers and flower headbands (Riley's favorite baby girl accessory!). It would be an honor to be shot by you and an amazing memory to look back one day on these pictures of us, as a new family.

Thank you! Paige Emmsley
