Here’s a story, of a lovely lady, who was working as a military nurse.

And she had hair of onyx, like her mother, it even had some curl.

Here’s the store, of a man named Gene, who was in the military zone.

He was one man, and had it all together,  yet he was all alone.

Till the one day when the lady met this fellow, and they knew it was much more than a hunch,

That these two would somehow form a family.

That’s the way the two became the DeWulf Bunch. The DeWulf Bunch…

WOW. That was the cheesiest thing I’ve done in a while. Forget I just sang that to you. But srsly, I was so excited when I was asked to come and photograph a very special birthday…a 60th birthday! Berma, or B’Ma, as the grandkids know her, is an incredible woman. I love the dynamics between Berma and Gene, her husband. He’s the refined, dare I say strict, and by the book Army Colonel (retired now). She’s a feisty and cheerful Puerto Rican with a ton of energy! Their love story reminds me of a movie scene: tall, handsome soldier walks into the officer’s club on base and asks the cute, bubbly nurse to dance. They dated, got married, had three beautiful kids. Now, in the last two years, they’ve become grandparents of 5, yes 5, grandkids. And one on the way will make 6. So blessed.

Happy Birthday Berma! Thanks for letting me come hang out and eat your yummy food! You have a beautiful family and a beautiful heart!
