Bassem Wahba - Hey Lisa, Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how touched I am that your still following my work even after almost 2 years after almost your wedding. I miss you guys and Id be so happy to capture your special day again! *wink*

Bassem Wahba - Hi Dawn, I had an amazing time with your Brother and Sis-in-law this morning. I have a feeling their going to have a boy. It’ll be my honor to capture yours and Stacey’s family, I cant wait!

Bassem Wahba - Hey Gracia, Thank you! I totally agree I think it does ad a warm feeling to it. Its funny though now Im try to achieve the film look with my digital camera, maybe I should just shoot film? *LOL*

Bassem Wahba - Thanks Jess, I get very reminiscent as well when I look at that photo! *wink*

Lisa Coulter - Very touching. And a beautiful shot.

We knew you were special and had a wonderful gift when I saw your photos – and then met you! Your photos capture our special day perfectly, and we plan to do an anniversary shoot with you one day! Your kids are extremely lucky to have you constantly clicking away at them… they’ll have wonderful memories for their future as well, looking back at the photos with their [future] families.

Dawn Miller - What a Beautiful photo….. Bassem, you to amazing work… and it shows right from a photo that you took as a “hobby”.. you are a true professional with an amazing talent! I can’t wait for you to capture these types of moment for me someday! Take care. D.

Angi - Bass, you’re too funny. Save those water works for September 12, big guy! ;)

Gracia Wassink - I love the ’softness’ of it, it just adds to the ’special feeling’ that makes this picture what it is! Awesome shot, it will only become more precious as the years go by!!
You Rock Bassem!!

Jess - OMG – Great blog!!!!!!!! I got teary eyed reading it. LOVE the picture – one of my faves of the kids ;)

Bassem Wahba - Angi..Ahhhhhhh
Your gonna make me cry, stop that! *LOL*. I’m not so great with the words, maybe thats why Im a photographer. But you truly explained the way I feel, thank you so much! Give Mike a hug for me, see you guys soon!

Angi - Your photos are more than just images captured with the “f” word (LOL) or on digital screens – they have life and characteristics you would expect to see if you were looking at the scene your self. Mike and I are so fortunate to have found you to see OUR special day through your amazing eyes, so our friends and loved ones can relive those amazing moments for years to come. *sniff* OK, more than enough sap for today! :) Back to work with me! xoxo

Bassem Wahba - Hey Kalin,

Thanks so much! Im getting really excited for your E-session and that surprise at the end! *wink* See you guys soon!

Kalin - Bass….I am glad you captured this photo and realized you wanted to get into photography because you work is amazing and I am so happy Bryan and I have found such a wonderful photographer as yourself to capture all of our special moments! (P.S. This is such a cute photo of G&K, it made me smile!)
