Alphabet Photography: BREEN

A friend of mine contacted me 

this summer. She wanted to surprise 

her husband with a custom alphabet

photo for his birthday. 

We set a date and I met her at their home. 

She had some fabulous ideas for the photos.

All the items were really personal 

and held special meaning

to her husband and their family. 

The backbone to the letter B was the headliner in 

 the newspaper when his team won the 

championship in 1989. The baseballs - he and 

his son practice with these together everyday.

Outside their previous home, all three of their 

children wrote their names in cement. They dug 

them up and brought them with them during 

their recent move. The letter R is 

the second letter in their son's name,

the oldest child in their family. 

The E below is just part of an antler from

the biggest buck her husband has ever shot.

The next E was her husband's Little League 

Glove, complete with handwritten name.

As for the N ... it was made up of all three of their

children's baseball bats. The sport is a significant 

part of his life, as he has played on both high

 school and college teams. His love of the sport 

has trickled down to his children and he now 

coaches their teams. 

And finally ... the finished product!!

I was thrilled to hear how surprised and pleased

he was with this! It now hangs as a centerpiece on 

their living room wall and really catches your eye 

when you walk into the room. 

Thank you "K" for asking me to be part of such

a wonderful, thoughtful gift. I am both honored

and humbled to have my photos hanging on your walls. 

I am looking forward to working on more projects

together. :D
