this house, commonly referred to as “the dudeplex” (mostly by themselves) had been begging for a photo shoot for quite some time.  I was hesitant at first, but this ended up being one of my favorites thus far. I hope you enjoy Tyler, Ben, Jimmy, and John. and keep checking back… there’s more to come.

here’s just a little snapshot of some of the people I love the most. note: this laughter is REAL.

happy sunday.

hope this brightens up your monday and fills it with a little joy. keep your eye out for more of this awesome couple, while you’re milling around your everyday life they’ll just be here, looking awesome.

so today I had the privilege of taking morgan & david’s engagement pictures. Morgan and David are high school sweethearts and its been such a gift to get to watch the two of them grow and their love mature. I am more than confident that morgan is david’s biggest fan and that david is head over heels in love with her.  The two of them are so gorgeous that I would absolutely inundate you with pictures if I put them all up at once… so I’m just gunna give you some a day at a time. 

Morgan, thanks for being my best friend. I couldn’t be more happy for you & david. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

so this is gracie… she’s a little bashful in front of the camera, but thats what makes her awesome. Gracie isn’t like anyone i’ve ever met before, she’s intentional and genuinely cares for the people around her, she’s even lucky enough to find 4-leaf clovers wherever she goes.

this is my sweet jesse who has a heart so big you can feel the love radiating from her when you walk in the room.  Jesse has a smile thats contagious and the most piercing eyes i’ve ever seen. This little princess warms my heart and is pretty nice to look at too.

or casually known as “sus” she is sassy. and confident. and beautiful. she may be small but she packs a powerful punch. when I met her I fell in love with her innocent laugh and her genuine excitement for life… 4 years later I’m still loving every one of those things plus more. I hope you enjoy these, and her, as much as I do.

praise the lord.

columbia young life banquet…

tonight was a perfect reminder of how Jesus’s love is unmatched, unconditional, and eternal.

“Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;

his greatness no one can fathom.

One generation will commend your works to another;

they will tell of your mighty acts.

They will speak of the glorious SPLENDOR of your MAJESTY

and I will meditate on your wonderful works.”

-psalm 145:3-6
