It really is an honor when people invite you into their home.

(You know you’re becoming real friends when they show you how they snuggle.)

So much our life is done in our home.

Our front porch.

Our backyard.

And the field we’ve driven by a hundred times.

When you want photos that capture a specific season of life, definitely consider choosing a location close to you.

Both literally and figuratively. ;)

Kaleigh and Jake, thank you SO much for asking me to come into your home, your town, and your life to capture your relationship! It was so much fun exploring your space and I hope you enjoy all the photos! :)

I don’t usually blog this many photos in one post.

But some stories can’t be told in just a few photos.

You see, these two are kindred spirits.

Silly and sweet.

Strong and safe.

Since they legitimately are the most adventurous people I know….

We took a risk and shot at an abandoned theater (with enough color and pizazz to brighten anyone’s day).

We explored an old field with an uprooted tree.

And they snuggled and kissed as though a random watching woman and I weren’t even there.

Slowly, they breathed in the memories of their life together.

The rich life they’ve worked hard to create.

And hand in hand, they breathed out the dreams and plans they have for the future.

The future they take on side by side.

Alex and Nic, words can’t even. Thanks for letting me into your life and loving fiercely alongside me. You both mean the world to me and I can’t wait to see where God takes you. *group hug* :)
