This month reminded me that in friendship and family, nothing compares to quality time in person. My heart was overcome by the many (safe) reunions with many people that I love. I didn’t realize how much I yearned for this. Very thankful for the opportunity to safely connect in person after months (and years) of […]

Every year our team pauses in the hustle of this holiday season to reflect on the gifts and graces the year brought. This practice is a way for us to posture our hearts toward gratitude and intentionally look for the good we might have missed over the course of a year. Like most of the […]

Carla & James are one of my couples who were forced to adjust their original wedding plans because of COVID. They instead opted for an intimate elopement, just the two of them – with hopes of a bigger celebration in the future. There were no witnesses on this day except for me. They didn’t choose […]

When life as we knew it, changed back in March, I (like most of the world) was blissfully unaware of how long we would be at home and without work. Month after month went and the postponements and cancellations happened. With the extra time, I realized that I was given the gift of time to […]

Their love story in one sentence (as told by Christian): “She is the catnip to my cat, the chips to my sandwich, and the pebble to my penguin.” The night Larissa and Christian met, Christian strategically sat next to Larissa at a coworker’s birthday dinner. As they got to know one another they realized they […]

Fall is here! The beginning of our busiest season for our personal and work lives has arrived. As a new chapter of the year starts, the Lord reminds me again that He is doing a new thing. We continued Pre-K homeschooling, which is a very lax, go-with-the-flow type of “schooling” because, well COVID has our […]

I have very special ties to this bride right here. Her mother was Wayne’s youth pastor growing up and actually the one who led Wayne to commit his life back to Christ. It’s safe to say that Makayla’s family is actually really, really special to us because they were a part of shaping our marriage well […]

Earlier this summer, I received the sweetest email from Savannah, a new wedding planner in the area. She gushed to me about an editorial she was planning under the company she was soon to be launching. Savannah studied hospitality and event planning at UF (go Gators!) before accepting a full-time position with an event design […]

There was a LOT of celebrating this month. Birthdays, babies, and GRADUATION. I have waited for this month for four long years! Wayne graduated with his Doctorate of Physical Therapy and just like that… school is over (forever). I am so thankful we have finally reached the end of this season, even if it may […]

I met Macy & Andrew during our mini sessions last Fall. They heard about our minis and traveled from Jacksonville for their first professional session as a couple! At the beginning of this year, Macy reached back out to me after Andrew proposed. We set plans for their engagement session…then COVID hit and our plans […]
