Ahhhh the VonGunten clan, Fort Wayne’s finest! Betsy, like everyone else has said-you absolutely captured the essence of this family’s spirit. These pictures are beautiful, all your pictures always are (because you’re talented beyond measure when you stick that camera in your hand), but these are especially good. Maybe it’s because I know these peeps and they aren’t acting in these photos-they truly are carefree, loving, and beautiful all the way around and through. They always seem to be cracking up about something! So fun to be around. Props to Julie and Steve for making such a gorgeous and whole-hearted family who all are bursting with love for Jesus.

This town is sometimes wonderfully small. I met Julie in august of 1994. She was the consultant at my neighbors pampered chef party. Within a month I started selling for her. Julie was my mentor, my director, my role model and my friend. We worked together for almost ten years. The impact she had on my life I still feel today. Our lives went in different directions after I became a single parent, but the things she taught me about being a business woman, a mother and a good human are still with me today. All the little vongunten kids are grown up with kids of their own now! it makes my heart happy in this difficult time to see them all rally around this amazing woman and her wonderful husband. Positive thoughts to you all. Thank you Betsy for sharing this moment.

Betsy…these are beautiful pictures of a beautiful family! John…the music was so perfect! Julie…you are a beautiful woman with a beautiful family! I’m sitting here overwhelmed with emotion right now, and am going to be praying for you. I know that God will bring you through this stronger than ever. God bless you real good!!!

The photos are remarkable. Not just because they are of my family and people I love so much, but because you captured our spirit, love for each other, and togetherness so well. Thank you, Betsy, for the gift you’ve given us. And to John, thank you for writing an inspiring piece that narrated in emotion what no one could have said in words. Betsy and John–what an incredible team you are! And finally, I must add, considering it was at least 100 degrees outside during that shoot, how impressed I am that none of us appear glistening and sweaty…what magic!

Betsy, these are awesome! I can’t tell you how much Val and I appreciate you fitting us in to your schedule and taking such phenomenal pictures of the fam. You have ministered to our family through your talent, and we are all so grateful. And Val and I can’t stop looking at how you captured our little Miles, what a handsome dude.

Betsy, I don’t know you and am only a friend of a friend to this family (my friend Joan DeMerchant forwarded this for me to see). But the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words?” Well you have created a million words with your gift of photography. God has used you in a most mpressive way. It was nice for me to see pictures of people that I have prayed for that I didn’t know but were on our church Prayer Chain. My prayers continue for this family. Your comments with the pictures touched my heart as well as reading comments of others here. Boy talk about tears…but they were tears of blessings.

The music is PERFECT! And I love the session. Big families can be hard but this one looks like they had great energy and fun! What a blessing! Prayers for Julie’s healing!!
