SUGAR AND SPICE // MILLIE & ADDIE

If there's a prize for most adorable children ever, Millie and Addie have claimed it.

I could not have enjoyed my time with Millie, Addie, and their sweet mom, Hannah.

Their family (including Dad, Sam) resides in England... pretty much a dream of mine. Over the past two years, I have acquired a sweet bunch of friends who all mentioned how [awesome] Hannah is at some point or another. I decided (although I was a complete stranger) to contact Hannah and let her know she's made quite an impact on the young women around me (and she has!). When Hannah contacted me and said she'd be visiting Georgia again in November, I jumped at every opportunity to hang out with her in person... including photographing her wonderful children.

Hannah, in the short time we've gotten to hang out, my only desire is that you didn't live so far away. You truly are such an inspiring mother and wife... you have a heart of gold, that's for sure. I pray God's very best over you and your family as you continue His Journey for you in England. Can't wait to see you again, but I'll be sure to keep in touch!

FAMILY SESSION // SCHOFILLS

When Heather contacted me saying "It's that time of year again!" I responded with "Yeah, it's been two years!" Truth was--it was just last summer that I took the Schofill's family pictures--which is a pretty epic realization to come to! I remember wanting to grow my portfolio by trying out some more family pictures, so I approached Heather about allowing me to do their session. I can remember the state-of-mind I was in, as well as the state-of-quality in my work. I am blown away by how much I have learned in just a year. Whatever you do--DO NOT go back that far in my archive! Totally kidding, actually. I have the power to delete my old posts--and trust me, there are certainly days when I want to--but I think it's good to see how far I've come in just a year. I know I always say it, but I will keep on reaching for the stars.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might

Ecclesiastes 9:10


I can only imagine how parents feel. It was crazy seeing the girls dressed and ready for the session--and remembering just how tiny they seemed last year!

Time flies.

Heather and Paul, you truly are an exceptional family. The love of Christ just radiates from each of you--so kind and giving. Your girls are sugar and spice and everything nice to their core... I love their girliness! You are so visibly doing an incredible job as parents--setting an example to those around you. I know we all wish we could stop time if just for a day, but as your girls continue to grow, I pray that the Lord would be a hedge of protection around their hearts. I pray that the very same joy they radiated at our session would be carried with them as they journey throughout life. I pray God's richest blessings on your family: love, wisdom, patience... and everything else that He solely supplies.

FAMILY SESSION // BRANDY & CO.

Brandy is a good friend of mine from church who has impeccable taste in fashion. When she contacted me for a session with her sisters, I was ecstatic.

Unfortunately, not all of Brandi's sisters were able to make the session (we'll try again soon!), but I am certain that these pictures will serve as great memories for them! There was lots of talking and giggling... really the session felt so natural.

Thank you SO MUCH, Brandi for allowing me the opportunity of capturing you ladies!

Enjoy, friends.
