I can’t help but smile when I think back to Kelsey and Landon’s wedding. It was such a beautiful, sweet day full of laughter, smiles and excited anticipation for the future. After five years together, Kelsey and Landon were so ready for their “forever” to begin. You could hear it in Kelsey’s squeals of excitement when […]

I have prayed for this little boy for over two years. I still remember how excited I was when Brittany told me they were ready to start trying to get pregnant, and we began dreaming of her future little family. It has been a long journey of waiting on the Lord’s timing, and mourning the […]

I’ve known Joe since we were first year teachers in third grade together. We had a lot of fun during recess and lunch duty, and I was always so impressed with his incredible work ethic. He went above and beyond for his students every single day, and I loved seeing the passion for teaching that […]

Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. Growing up I loved everything from the music to the decorations to all the traditions it brings.

I was there the first day Jarrett and Cassie met. And I was there when he got down on one knee. And I was there they day they said “I do”. So to say I feel a little invested in their love story is an understatement. From the day I met Cassie I knew I […]

The evening was warm and humid, as the chance of rain hung in the air. There was a small breeze that provided little relief from the thick, humid summer night. As I wiped the sweat from my forehead and defogged my lens for the upteenth time, I looked over at Lexi and Trevor and just […]
