just a sneak peak into what their full session holds! :)

THE FAMILY

---

family means you are apart of something  w  o  n  d  e  r  f  u  l .

it means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life.

she's a beautiful, thoughtful, loving woman.

my dad requested that he "photobomb a nice picture of mom". and he did just so haha.

he's a handsome, hardworking, Jesus loving man.

my bff for life, yo.

and this is where our walk turned into a couple's shoot haha. but they both looked sooo good ;)

engaged // LEVI + DOROTHY

---

---

It's weird to think that 15 years ago Levi and I were playing "Manfried and Debbie" (my parents hah) in play school and that just a couple days ago in front of my camera, stood Levi and his real life wife to be! And here is where I include an over used, uncreative, cliché phrase like "wow, time has really flown by...". But legit guys!

Can I talk about how wonderful they are?! About the obvious - how incredibly beautiful Dorothy is. (And her dear heart reflects just that). About how I can't think of another person who compliments Levi as well, who respects someone so much, or who loves someone so deeply. And about how I can truly say that Levi is one of the most caring, thoughtful, and sincere men who I know of. He was like that as a little kid and has continued to exhibit these qualities with a full heart as the years have gone by. 

I am thankful that they allowed me to take these on the side while working on another project with them. And most thankful for getting to play a little part in their journey as they become husband and wife in the late days of summer next year.

MINI COUPLE SESSIONS || Rachel + Garrett

---

This past weekend was my cousin's high school graduation. With that came hours of photos; trying our hardest to get one big ol' family photo where we all have our eyes open. Difficult I tell you! In between the pictures I was apart of, I felt obliged to take advantage of the most beautiful + fragrant lilac bushes + an adorable couple (friends of my cousin) watching from the sidelines. I am wishing I had more time to  take in Rachel + Garrett's sweetness, love + humility. But I feel like this short reel of pictures capture that.
