Dance. TPDA Recital. [Sanford}

So proud of our tiny dancers for completing their first year of dance! I love watching their friendship grow.

Kristin. NCSU MPA Grad.

I have the sweetest memories with Kristin and our families at the beach when we were younger. It was so fun to catch up and check out all the beautiful changes over on State’s campus since I last explored! It was such an honor to capture this big achievement in your life, and congratulations!

Julian. ONE.

HOW. How in the world is my baby already ONE?! I thought 2020 would crawl, but it flew by faster than any year yet. I blinked, and here’s my wild one. We had a low key “into the woods” celebration for our wild man, and it was exactly what my heart needed.

TG. THREE.

How is my baby girl three, y’all?? Luckily for me, our backyard has the perfect morning light, and this sassy 3 year old LOVES to take pictures…almost as much as she loves this 3 balloon. We celebrated her actual birthday in Yellowstone, but I’m so glad we still celebrated in our now traditional fashion when we got home, because she has loved the extra fun.

Speaking of fun, 3 has come with some fun new challenges, but boy do I love watching her mind work and the things that bring her joy. She absolutely loves to dance and sing, so naturally she had to have some pictures in her element!

Tera. Wedding Morning!

I can’t believe the day is finally here. It seems like yesterday that my sweet sister/cousin was visiting and telling us all about this boy she met at an out of town wedding. Little did we know that we’d all end up in Montana to celebrate the Lord bringing them together! She was the most beautiful bride, inside and out, and even on a weekend about HER constantly demonstrated her servant heart and love for others. Wishing you both the most amazing marriage that will be a light to others! <3

Princess Tea Party.

I’m a big fan of experiences instead of physical gifts, and I had my heart set on a princess tea party for our sweet friend Bell. We missed the last two in our area, so Taylor Grace and I decided to host one for her at our house! Taylor Grace has been asking for another tea party every day since…Happy happy birthday, sweet Bell!

Camden + McKinley. 1st Birthday.

It seems like only yesterday that we were taking newborn photos for these sweet blessings. Fast forward to their FIRST birthday party, and it was full of people who love them and their sweet parents, as well as amazing decorations by their talented crafty mama. Could they be any more precious?! Happy birthday, sweet girls!

Also, let’s not forget the big moment when Lauren’s brother (with help from her precious niece) opened the box to reveal that the girls are IDENTICAL!

Luke. Baptism.

Proud Aunt time. My precious, tender-hearted, loving nephew accepted Jesus into his heart and made the decision to follow Him in baptism! Baptized by his dad and mom (with little brother watching every second) and surrounded by family and friends, Luke had the biggest smile and high fives and hugs for everyone. I love you more than words, Luke, and I can’t wait to see all the plans God has for you!

Baby Jordan

Oh, baby boy. Do you have any idea how much you're already loved? I had such a blast showering Danielle with love with her friends and family and celebrating baby Weston. The countdown is on!!

Taylor Grace. FIRST BIRTHDAY.

Yep, I'm going to blog about my own daughter turning...ONE. She has filled up my days (and memory cards) with an abundance of joy, belly laughs, and sweet memories. Everyone tells you to cherish each second because they'll fly by, but boy am I realizing how true that is. 

And a big special thanks to my sweet husband for capturing a few pictures of me with our sweet girl. I'm too often the one behind the camera, so these are priceless gems!

Shelby. First Birthday Party.

I'll tell you what. Shelby's mama gave her a fabulous, sparkling first birthday party! Complete with stars, glitter, tutus and homemade (sugar free) cake for the birthday girl. Happy first birthday, Shelby! You are so blessed and so loved. So glad I was able to be a part of your celebration. 

Danielle. Bridal Shower.

My sweet, beautiful, caring, insert every fluffy word possible friend is getting married next month! We had a blast showering her today and celebrating her upcoming marriage. Can't wait to stand by your side as you become Mrs. Jordan! 

Family visit.

We had such a blast with Justin's family when they came to visit. Khloe was just full of smiles and couldn't get enough of Finley! Fin still isn't quite sure how he felt about his mini house guest ;)

Also, I may be biased, but that's the most adorable dress I've ever seen...bet you'll never guess who got it for her ;)

It was a whirlwind trip, and this little lady was pooped! 

Khloe's 1st Birthday.

Our precious niece is ONE. It's hard to believe how quickly she is growing up - she is already taking her first steps! We had a blast celebrating one year with her, and boy did she love her cake :)

Carter's 1st Birthday.

I can't believe an entire year has passed since I got the text that my dear friend had gone into labor. What a year it has been! I had such a blast celebrating Carter's first birthday. Allie did such a spectacular job decorating from her adorable turkey cake (which by the way matched the adorable invitations!) to the turkey feather veggies. Love celebrating life with y'all!
