Sigmon Family

When I worked at Elevation Church, I was the Guest Services Director. One of the areas that I oversaw was the Parking Team. The Parking team is the FIRST point of contact for someone coming to Elevation Church at our Providence & Butler Campus. It's no easy task...they smile, welcome, direct..and help get about 2500-3000 people in and out of 4 services in a timely and loving manner (at the Providence Campus).

I learned so much about myself during my time serving on staff there (we are still dedicated members). One of our parking team leaders was Doug. He's the kind of guy that shares what's wrong...but he eats problems for breakfast and would be quick to come with solutions to make parking systems BETTER. He was quick to volunteer even when it wasn't his Sunday on. Even after surgery on his ankle...he still came out to lead and support his team. That's someone catching onto a vision and answering a calling.

Not only does he lead a parking team...but his amazing wife, Laurina, has since joined the parking team! Dedication!

This well-educated, loving, dedicated and gifted couple have 2 of the cutest boys: Jeremy & Daniel. When I received and e-mail from Doug & Laurina about getting family photos I couldn't have been more honored and thrilled! We met on the Saturday after Halloween. It was an early morning and SOOOOOOOOOO cold. I felt so bad...but they were all troopers and just WORKED the camera with their love, smiles and admiration for one another. Thank you so much Sigmon family for allowing us to be a part of capturing some memories for y'all!

Here are a 'few' photos and a slideshow for you....Ladies and Gentlemen...I give you...The Sigmon's!




This Hottie...below held their baby...(his name was Daniel too) as we took some pictures of just Doug & Laurina! He's so cute!

Hey Candice and Daniel, I am Laurina's mother and just saw your photographs of her family. How absolutely beautiful. Your love and knowledge of photography really shine through. Your work is the BEST I've ever seen. Would you be willing to travel to Raleigh? Thanks again for sharing your gift of art with us. May God bless you for all you do for others.
