When the whole world fits inside your arms…

It feels easy to keep it safe and protected.

But when your whole world starts to grow up and become a lovely person all on her own…

It feels harder and harder to know how to keep her safe.

So you give affection and humility and grace and love. And pray that each day…

She’ll always know where she belongs.

Melissa and Joel - if we weren’t related, I would still call you part of my family! :) Thanks for allowing me to see your whole little world year after year. Love you guys so much!

I don’t do many weddings any more - it’s just not as feasible with two kiddos at home.

But when my long time friend asked if I would consider being there as her photographer on her special day… I couldn’t help but say yes.

Because not only do I get to be near them on the biggest day of their lives…

But they trust me to capture themselves.

In their truest way, with their favorite person in the whole world.

HELLO YOU TWO! :) Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to do my thing. I cannot wait for next year!!
